Shopping With Purpose

 If you are a plus size chick you know that staying trendy and fashionable can sometimes be a bit of a task. Most people think that every woman loves to shop but when your not comfortable in your own skin shopping can become more of a discouragement than anything else. I've had my fair share of  Dressing-Room DISASTERS to say the least and from that I have learned more effective ways to shop.

1. Learn Your Sizes: One of the most effective techniques to shopping for ladies of all shapes and sizes is also the most basic LEARN YOUR DAMN SIZE! As crazy as it may sound we are not all size 5's so why pretend? Now I know that not all sizes are cut the same but you should at least learn your correct size in your favorite clothing stores. For Example I LOVE OLD NAVY and Through trial and error I've learned that I wear a size 18 in their jeans so I never waste time trying on anything that's too far from that...saving me time and disappointment. (Side Note: When working out Sizes do change overtime so try new sizes to show your progress)

2. Avoid "Blind" Online Shopping: There is absolutely nothing wrong with online shopping in actuality that is sometimes where you fine the greatest stuff! The problems only come in when you start making blind purchases without LEARNING YOUR SIZE! When online shopping it is a lot more critical to go back to my first tip because you never actually get to try on the clothes until after you make the purchase. Online boutiques are still actual boutiques so Through the same trial and error you should gain understanding of the sizes you wear for different websites by ordering familiar sizes and testing the fit. (Side Note: Be punctual if you have a specific event to prepare for order in a timely manner and give yourself time for the trial and error size selection)

3. Make Changes: My Third and final tip to more eventful shopping is MAKE A CHANGE! If you absolutely hate shopping because you are not happy with the size you are work towards your new body goals. There is nothing more motivating than shopping for cute new workout gear. There's nothing wrong with looking fabulous in the gym! Start shopping for workout accessories Yoga mats, Headbands, Sneakers...ect. Shopping for workout gear is always productive because there is something out there for all ..... (Side Note:YOGA PANTS FIT EVERYONE lol)

I don't have it all figured out. I'm just trying to get my figure right!
