Diva Look Book has featured an article, On the Smaller End Of Plus Size, from Curvy.Confident.Chic. that dishes out tips and advice which will help girls on the smaller end of the plus size range when they are shopping.
I thought the article is a good reminder to me, especially now that online shopping has become so popular and convenient that many a time, I tend to buy clothes just for the fact that it is in my size and even though I know every well for the fact that I do not suit the design. With this fatal mentality, my wallet bleed and my wardrobe exploded. (okie drama here... )
The article raised a few points that resonate with me and they are:
The 3rd point on quality over quantity is something I go by when I shop these days. I need to build up my wardrobe for office and not to forget the many weddings that I would have to attend soon! (need to find dresses... and shoes and bags... argh...)
Another "bad habit" that point 4 explores is to buy things that don't fit me now, just buying it for the time when I slim down... (which is I don't know when but I know it will come but just don't know when... ) I read somewhere that is because of such a purchasing pattern that plus size clothes shops often find it hard to operate as sales is slow. People are not willing to spend on plus size clothes as they foresee themselves shedding off the extra weight in the near future. As a result, profits is not attractive enough for retailers to enter the plus size market. This will ultimately turn to a detriment to plus size consumers as they have limited choice and face high prices. (Beauty, health and fitness industry will always be profitable.)
Well... This article is an enjoyable read. It makes me reflect on how I shop and how I can enrich the experience! Read the article here.
Shopping is supposed to be a luxury.
It shouldn't be so tough.
Have fun.
