Weekend Shopping: My Successful Day Shopping at Torrid!

Fashion for me is an uphill battle I've tried to win for years. I'm a plus size girl who has been forever stuck in the middle of two sizes, longing for Stacey & Clinton from What not to Wear to save me one day, and it's tough road to find clothes in stores that fit me in the right places.

But somehow in my 30 years I have found a middle ground - kind of a stalemate - where I am comfortable in my clothes and not pulling at my garments every 10 minutes because they are sticking to me inappropriately. 

My favorite stores to shop for clothes are Torrid, Dress Barn, Kohls (Def. frenemies though), Fashion to Figure, Target and Forever 21 (another frenemy). With the exception of my two frenemies I can always find something that makes me smile and makes me feel pretty in the other stores. Even though I might have to try on a lot of styles and sizes the small victories are very refreshing!! 

My #1 place to go is Torrid. I actually finally broke down and took the offer of the pre-approved  credit card because let's face it I'm always in there. Like I mentioned before it takes a while for me to find my balance in the sizes but using my $50 off of $125 coupon I had a very successful trip to Torrid this weekend and I'm super excited to share with you the results!! 

For those of you who have not shopped at Torrid they have a different size guide of 0-5 and of course the standard numbers. I fit in a multitude of their sizes from 0-2 and 14-18...yeah shopping for me is complicated. =P The lovely awesome Torrid models are also all shapes and sizes so it's sometimes hard to get a good feel for how the clothes would look on you..ergo I always go to the store first! =)

Here are my Torrid items I purchased: 

Total Shopping Trip: $106 w/ coupons

Three Tops & 1 Dress   

Torrid Model: Lace Bodice Babydoll Top | Me - Size 1

Torrid Model: Floral Ruffle Baby Doll Top | Me - Size 2

Torrid Model: Mesh Dot Inset Swing Dress | Me - Size 18

Torrid Model: Striped Lace KeyHole Cami Top | Me - Size 0

 I'm so happy with all the items I purchased and especially happy they were not black!! Black is always my fail safe, but seriously I need to leave it behind this spring! =) Also, every item is a different size. lol.

It was truly an enjoyable experience and I'm excited for some cute new clothes! But they are going to have to sit in the bag a little longer because New York pulled a fast one and now it's back to 40's. Womp Womp. I will get to wear these soon though! I can feel it!
