Handbag Whore, A Plus Size Accessory

by Deb For Plus Size Women

What is a plus size accessory you ask?

I have a huge collection of handbags and sunglasses that I consider part of my plus size accessories. Let me be brutally honest, being overweight can be downright depressing sometimes in the fitting room. On those days when I can’t find a fabulous fashion to caress my extra curves, I opt for a new handbag or great sunglasses. You know what, they come in one size fits all.

My sister first gave me the name of the “handbag whore” due to my excessive buying of handbags, and you know what, it stuck. I call myself that as well, seeing as she’s right. I have a crap load of handbags. Hey, it’s either the handbag pick me up, or squeeze my ass into a pair of jeans that leaves me facing the mirror and the fact that I’m not getting any smaller.

Sunglasses, jewelry, handbags…darling, they are all part of my plus size accessory must have list. Don’t even get me started on hair care products or make-up, because when that’s part of the only thing you have good control over, you tend to go overboard.

Cute Plus Size Dresses

by Deb For Plus Size Women

Great plus size dresses can be hard to find. How cute is this? (dress no longer being sold, older post)

I’m totally loving this look of this plus size dress. Seriously, this would be great for the spring, summer or fall! A simple black sweater or wrap over it brings it to another season.

Do you have a favorite place to shop? I love Lane Bryant. They have some really great styles, and allow me to be fashionable, even though I’m not a small size. Ooh, match these with some great knee high, black leather boots, and this would be fabulous for fall!

By the way, if you like the dress, you can click on the picture, and it will take you directly the Lane Bryant site which will give you all the details on the dress.

Fashionable Plus Size Clothing & and Fat Days

I need fashionable plus size clothing; I’m having an ULTRA fat day. Don’t tell my husband I need new clothes. He’ll look at my closet bursting with clothing and tell me I’m overreacting. Overreacting? Oh please! The funny thing is that even though I’m chubby, fat, plump, overweight, and there’s “more of me” each and [...]

Wedged Like a Piece of Cheese

I flew down to Orlando last week, and I was able to buckle my seatbelt on the plane. It was a tight fit though, and I was wedged in that seat like a piece of cheese! On the flight home, I had the opportunity to upgrade to first class for $100 bucks, and I jumped [...]

Small Squishy Spaces

I’m sitting here at a conference, and one of the things that I notice is how close the chairs are together. If you don’t fit the standard size of person, you need an end to be comfortable. I’m straddling at the end, with one leg under the table, and yet anotehr around it. Someone in [...]

Big Hips Equal Big Sizes Women’s Clothing for Me!

I used to hate shopping for big sizes. Womens clothes in big sizes at least have gotten so much better. Remember when they would all be t-shirt material with big bold patterns or flowers on them? We used to have one designated rack, but thankfully now we get entire stores and sections. Big clothing for [...]

Don’t Call Me Lazy

I was listening to a talk show yesterday, and the host mentioned something about extra payments clients will have to make on health care costs for being overweight. It came down to something like $25 extra a month if you weighed over a certain amount. They were discussing the ins and outs, the fair, the [...]
