Clothing I love

(this is a personal opinion: I have not been offered anything to give this opinion. This message is not sponsored in any way shape or form. But if these fine brands wants to throw some plus size stuff my way, I wont say no.. just saying!)
Hi friends, Sorry I have been gone so long.

Today I am going to dish about some clothing.



Earlier this summer I got to go to the awesome fat clothing swap "cupcake and muffin tops".  I had an awesome time with two wonderful friends.
I picked up only a few things, compared to last years haul of goodies, but I did luck out and snag a pair of leggings that have fast become a favorite.

Cute no? I love the dark red color so much.
They are made by Diane Kennedy A touch pricey but seriously worth it (I almost died when I saw how much they cost, I didn't pay that much for them at the swap. But I did purchase two other styles from the online shop, that were on sale).
These leggings are by far the most comfortable thing I have ever worn! And made from bamboo. The sizing is interesting 1x, 2x, 3x but for some reason I fit perfectly in the 1x size (I am normally a size 26 or 3x/4x bottom), and I tried on a 3x at a local shop that carries them, and found them to be too big.
If you are in the great white north AKA Canada shipping should be slightly more reasonable than the $24 I paid.. but the only shop near me with then didn't have the size or style i was looking for.

I guess Diane Kennedy is also involved with Cherry velvet plus. Super cute retro dresses.



Speaking of Cherry velvet, I joined Gwynnie Bee The plus size clothing subscription service, They offer a free 30 day trial then its like $35 a month to try out clothing.. anywho, first thing I got from the service was a dress by cherry velvet. This one in fact:

It's pretty, but didn't fit my shape in a flattering way. Too bad. 

I have been wanting to try a dress from this brand for a while, but have been seriously intimidated by their prices and not knowing how they fit.

That is honestly my hesitation with buying most clothing from online only shops, not knowing how they fit, or how well made they are.

I hope the other things I have set to be delivered fit better.

Anywho more clothing impressions to come, as I have 30 days of free clothes to try on. Lets hope there are a few winners in the bunch.
