5 Reasons Why Plus Size Shopping Sucks

I recently went shopping, or shall I say hunting, for a dress. Now don't get me wrong I love shopping, but being plus size sometimes makes this a difficult ordeal. While there are stores and brands aimed specifically at plus size shoppers, there are still some major issues that makes shopping difficult.

1. If you're shopping at a store that sells both standard and plus size clothing, you will most likely have a hard time finding the plus size section as they tend to be smaller and secluded.

2. Plus size sections are so small and don't tend to carry a great variety of styles nor sizes and when you find something you like, the odds are you might not find the size you're looking for.

3. Plus size clothing seems to be constructed for the tall, hourglass shaped, with no belly plus size woman.Yet, I'm short, don't have an hour glass shape, and have a belly. So who is this clothing really being made for me?

4. Oh and lets not forget those that make plus size clothing that look like robes or look like I pulled the curtain off my window and threw it on as my outfit of the day.

5. Shopping for a good outfit is like looking for the needle in the haystack. The pretty outfits exist, but they're just really really hard to find.

Shopping should be fun and relaxing. Yet, as a plus size woman I'm either forced to pay much more for brands especially catered for plus size women or spend enormous amount of times at a normal brand that offers plus sizes. Why is it so difficult to shop for clothes, when so many women wear over a size 14? It's time for brands to start realizing that plus size fashion is important, not only will we get better clothes but brands will profit.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
