I read this artical in Elle Girl and thought it inspiring.I thought I should share some of it.
...I'm smart, I'm sexy,I'm well accesorized.Did I forget to mention I'm plus sized?Plus-size:A term that strikes fear into the hearts of girls all over,regardless of the nuber sewn into the backs of their jeans;a term that makes people think of craftans and polyester and Oprah circa 1992.For a very long time,I,too,believed that plus size meant unattractive,frumpy and fashion-free.I wore big,bulky sweaters to covermyself up.My wardrobe had two basic colcrs:black and grey. Then,one evening,while putting on another stunning sweater and jeans combo to go dancing,I looked myself in the miror without the baggy clothes and pictured all my friends in tank tops and it broke my heart.But in that moment I saw myself through my eyes and liked what I saw.I had been hiding myself from everyone behind the baggy grey clothes.I took to the Internet and researcherd plus-size fashion.Stores like Delias and Old Navy in my size and up.I discovered a whole new world of technicolor and fashion!I discovered myself.
