Fat Fashion

This is your semi-regular thread in which fat women can share pix, make recommendations for clothes they love, ask questions of other fat women about where to locate certain plus-size items, share info about sales, talk about what jeans cut at what retailer best fits their body shapes, discuss how to accessorize neutral colored suits, share stories of going bare-armed for the first time, brag about a cool fashion moment, whatever.

This past Christmas, Paul the Spud got me a gift certificate to Goorin Bros. Hat Shop, of which I finally made use, and this little beauty just arrived:


Sophie couldn't care less.
The hat is Billy Batts. (Thank you, Spudsy! ♥) The sweater is an old one from Avenue, about which I've blogged previously.

I've mentioned once or twice or a million times that I am a big fan of hats. Not only are they fun to wear, but they're especially useful on days when I can't be arsed to do my hair haha. Just stick a hat on it!

I know fedoras are so overdone these days, but I couldn't help myself. I really love this one!

Anyway! As always, all subjects related to fat fashion are on topic, but if you want a topic for discussion: What's your favorite style of hat? Or are you hat-averse?

Have at it in comments! Please remember to make fat women of all sizes, especially women who find themselves regularly sizing out of standard plus-size lines, welcome in this conversation, and pass no judgment on fat women who want to and/or feel obliged, for any reason, to conform to beauty standards. And please make sure if you're soliciting advice, you make it clear you're seeking suggestions—and please be considerate not to offer unsolicited advice. Sometimes people just need to complain and want solidarity, not solutions.
