i’m a 230 lb DIVA

Bravo. Your deception gambit has payed off. You’ve outsmarted the Emperor’s cavalry.
i said i wouldnt post pics during my weight loss journey but these are cute 😂😂😂
Where do you get your clothes?
As a fat woman its hard for me to find cute stuff. Especially cute stuff that fit the many aesthetics I have. So i have to shop around and piece together cute clothing.
I’m making this post/list for those who have asked where I shop at. So y'all can feel cute and sexy too :)
Clothing
Modcloth (goes up to size 5x I believe)- Perfect for fat folx who are looking for vintage/cute/hipster type clothing. They sell everything from swimwear to dresses to shoes to tops to bottoms to even cute home decorative items. Their clothing is pricey but check out their clearance section!
Rebdolls (goes up to a size 5x)- Their clothing usually has some stretch to it but be sure to read the material its made out of. Their clothing is kinda basic but stylish at the same time. They do sell crop tops there also along with swimwear :) Their clothing can be affordable
Rainbow Shops (goes only up to a 3x I believe)- Their plus clothing is stylish and super cute. I dont shop here alot but I’m sure you might find something cute. They sell affordable clothing.
Redressnyc (goes up to a 5x I believe)- They can be pricey. I’ve only bought a top from them when it was on sale. But they use fat models and their clothing is super cute! If you can afford it I say go for it
WitchWorldwide (goes up to a 5x)- Uses fat models. Clothing is perf for the fat goth/alternative in need. Clothing can be pricey but again if you can afford it go for it. Also check their clearance section
Shoptunnelvision (goes up to a 5x)- Pricey. They have cute vintage old school stuff but they are again pricey which is why I never bought from them. They do use actual fat models so that’s a plus :)
Hottopic (1x-5x)- Yes hottopic has now revamped their plus sizes! There is a plus size section on their website and the clothing is cute and amazing! Although if you’re a 1x-3x you can most likely find the same outfit in the regular sizing at a cheaper price (cause you know clothing stores like to charge fat people 5 or more extra dollars for “fabric” 🙄🙄🙄) Clothing ranges from cheap to pricey depending on what you get
Teeturtle- I get some of my tees from here! Perfect for the nerdy fat person. If you are a fat person with breasts I find their women sizing to be cut a bit smaller so I usually wear the men’s or the unisex sizing. I’m a 2x/20 and a Men/Unisex Large fits me just fine. I think their shirts are a wee pricey but they always have deals or you can check out their clearance :)
Onceuponatee- Same as Teeturtle pretty much
Forever 21 (1x-3x)- I shop here alot. I tend to shop online because their stores are always picked over. They are affordable. I’m a 2x on their site but sometimes i have to size up to a 3x so be warned
Torrid (XL-5X)- intimates, shoes for wide calf fat folx, dresses, swimwear, bras, etc. Can be pricey. I think overpriced lmao. But they can have nice things in their clearance section
Amazon [CowCow Store] (1x-5x)- CUTE stretchy skater dresses! Very comfy and very cute. Affordable!
Boohoo- Goes up to a size US 20 but honestly I’ve heard from friends who are a 3x that they can fit into their clothing just fine because of the incredibly stretch they have. Very affordable. They have a 50-60% off off their clothing every day.
Burlington, Marshalls, Thrift Stores, Tj Maxx- These stores you will have to take the time to look around and find stuff honestly.
Wildblacksheep.com or Wildblacksheep on etsy- I get my crop tops and sweatshirts from here! They’re very affordable and very cute. Their sweatshirts are unisex. Crop tops I’m unsure about but as a 2x I can fit into their XL crop tops :).
FashiontoFigure- True to plus size. Idk what size they go up to. They do have some cute items but I’ve never shopped there before
Debshops- Again never shopped and I’m unsure what size they go up to. But I’ve heard good things!
Fashionnova (Junior 1x-3x)- I got a 3x in their jeans. I’ve only bought their jeans mostly do idk about their dresses. Their stuff is affordable and you can use lots of 30% off code
Gslovesme (Junior 1x-3x)- I’ve only gotten a cardigan and leggings here. But their stuff is very nice!
Charlotte Russe (Junior Plus)- I’ve never bought an outfit from them but they have lots of cute and affordable things on their website!
TWINTH on Amazon- I get my skater skirts from them. I think they go up only to an XXL but it has looots of stretch it can probs for someone who is maybe a 3x
Bras & Intimates
Torrid- Pricey but check out their clearance section!
Lane Bryant- Clearance section and look for deals. I only shop at lane Bryant once a year for bras lmao
AdoreMe- I love their bras and panties. They can be affordable if you sign up for their VIP program and you can leave it at anytime ^-^
Hips and Curves- Can be pricey I would check out their clearance section
Yandy- Hit or miss for me honestly but they have some cute stuff!
Plus Size Socks/Thigh Highs
Forever 21- Only up to 3x
Yandy- Can go up to a 4x
Welovecolors- I forgot what size they go up to but I have very big thighs and their items fit me perfect
Sockdreams- Thigh highs galore! I love their items.
Kixies on Amazon- I bought some thigh highs from them. Haven’t worn them yet but apparently they are very good at staying up on big thighs :)
Modcloth- Can be pricey but just look. They go up to a 5x I think
Wide Calf Boots
Torrid-pricey but I’ve heard good things about their boots
Boohoo- Affordable but I’ve never worn their boots before
Charlotte Russe- I got some boots from them for 20$ I dont think it stays up too well but for the price its good lol
Wigs
Wigtypes.com
Divatress.com
Glamourtress.com
Ebonyline.com
Elevatestyles.com
Sistawigs.com
Samsbeauty.com
Aliexpress- takes about a month but sooo worth it
WISH- Same as aliexpress but I’ve never ordered a wig from them I just know they sell wigs
As a fat woman i have to shop around for clothing. Like alooot. I shop in trial and error when shopping online because there is a chance things wont fit me. It sucks but you can always piece together cute things :)
If anyone has any more stores to add to the list, add them in the reblogs or replies of this post 💖💖💖
I know a couple weeks ago we were talking about good places to get plus size clothing, and this list is a great place to start!

How To Get A Job Fast As Hell
@owenabbott
Apply to a job, wait (1) day, then call. Give them your first and last name. Tell them you submitted an application and that you’re very motivated to find [Enter field name] work. Let the conversation lead you wherever it takes. Be very polite. Say” thank you for your time, I’ll be looking forward to hearing back from you.” Rinse, repeat. This is to force them to be looking out for your application.
When you get to the interview, shake their hand firmly, tell them your first and last name.
Describe your experiences as “ two years transcription and data entry” if you have a desk job interview and “ [however many years] costumer service, retail and stock” for your retail jobs.
Don’t use job “ buzz words” I stg they hear them all day. Say things like, “ I’m detail oriented and am very good at taking instruction.” “ I would like to work for a company with integrity and I feel that [ company name] would be a good fit”
When they ask you if you have “reliable transportation” say YES. don’t tell them what kind of transportation, just say yes. (if you don’t do this, you wont get the job , I’m telling you right now).
Research the company. Know what they do, why they do it, how OLD the company is. WHERE it was founded, and what kind of position you’re intending to apply for.
When they ask you “ give us a situation where you had to blah blah blah” Make one the fuck up. Make yourself sound good as hell, and like you put your company’s needs slightly above the customer’s needs, but make the customer happy.
If they ask you about being outgoing, Say you “like to focus on your work so you can concentrate on doing things right” (which buys you out of having to act friendly all the time)
Questions for after the interview:
1. Does this position offer upward mobility?
2. Do you enjoy working for the company? (if you’re not interviewing for a temp agency who will send you anywhere)
Then, shake their hand, Ask them to repeat their name (REMEMBER THIS) say thank you for your time, wish them a nice day and leave. write their name down outside if you have to, just remember the fuck out of it.
AFTER your interview, send a card directed to the name of the person who interviewed you (I’ll give you them) that says “Thank you for the interview, I appreciate the opportunity. have a great day” This shows that you have an understanding of professionalism, and will have them thinking of you kindly (or at least remembering you) when they’re shuffling through the choices.
DO NOT tell them you just moved to the city over the phone. In person, tell them you just moved to the city. Make it sound like the only reason you need a job is because you moved. Not because you’re desperate.

I knew this but I’m reblogging cause someone might not know
I’m saving this.
This helped me get a job
Please keep this circulating. Cops are getting more and more brazen, know your rights!
good to know
Reblogging every time this goes past
Know your rights. What’s NOT right is the cop’s ability or perceived ability to belittle who or what a person is or displays.
Reminds me of when the Black Panthers had to remind Blacks of their civil rights and how to speak to police
It sucks cuz clearly this shit doesn’t work. These cops don’t give a fuck about our rights
Its frustrating and disheartening when you see certain type of big girls being displayed but none of them seem to look like you.
Y’all be sooooo boring in my messages I hope this not how y’all talking to other women. Lemme give y’all some tips.
Send her your favorite picture. Compliment but don’t sexualize it even if it’s nudes. Very briefly mention how sexy it is but don’t make it the highlight of the comment. Compare it to something beautiful (Beyonce, Mona Lisa, etc.)
Be dramatic about it, it’s funny
Be funny
Introduce yourself
Do not ask for a follow
If she lives in your state talk about the area you live it first
Bam you in therr
Dead ass, if you fail to do anything else, 🗣️ At least be funny! Stop hopping into the DMs with Popeyes biscuit dry conversation.
Be funny, make an effort, and stooooppp insisting that “You’re beautiful”, “Hey what’s up?”, “What’re you doing?”, “*Insert dick pic*” “*insert wildly inappropriate conversation*” is a good way to start talking to someone, cause that ain’t it chief
At all
