I *love* Lucy T-Shirts! They’re inexpensive enough to wear to the gym and not feel guilty about getting sweaty, yet fashionable enough to wear out in public and not feel like you’re out in public wearing gym clothes.
As a girl that’s a standard XL on top, Lucy’s XL t-shirts (long and short sleeve) are the perfect size. Their cut and curve fit my bod perfectly without making me feel like I’m being shrink wrapped. Plus, the fact that the short sleeve version hits exactly mid-upper arm, and bottom of the shirts hits just right below the top of my pants makes for a very complimentary cut on anyone that is conscious about their upper arms or tummy.
The one caveat: Make sure the t's are actully the Lucy brand-as Lucy does carry other brands as well.
Huge thumbs up!

Welcome to my Blog
Yes, I realize it's October 2007 and that many of you have been blogging now for years. Call me a late adopter. :)
Blogging is something I've toyed around with for ages, but like a tattoo, I just couldn't settle on something (in this case, a topic) I loved enough to want on me (or with me!) for years to come.
Then, this past July while I was in Paris trying like hell to find some clothes at the last minute (lost luggage horror story...), it dawned on me: *this* is what my blog should be about. No, not about lost luggage horror stories and shopping in Paris, silly. But, rather, the trials and tribulations of a plus-size gal trying to find fashionable clothing-regardless of where she is in the world-or what her budget will allow.
Add to that the fact that fashion magazines seem to become even more hypocritical with every monthly issue..."yes, women should love thier bodies-regardless of the size....now, please enjoy viewing these size 0 models showing off clothing you'll NEVER fit it! bwah ha ha..." and I realize that there is just a huge, gaping disconnect in this world.
I could rant forever about this-and likely will in other posts, but to keep my intro post short-and not scare you off from future readings-I'll stop there.
So, here's the deal: I'll post as often as I can (at least once a week) about great clothing, accessories, shoes, hadbags, you name it. As a size 16/18, most of what I post will specifically be for other curvy girls, but hopefully others will enjoy my fashion finds as well.
I'll be on the lookout for specific stores, brands, labels in which I find clothing that is better than your standard mu-mu, and hopefully you'll enjoy reading about my adventures!
Cheers and thanks for reading!
