8 Thoughts Big Girls Have While Shopping With Their Skinny Friends

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at MMM chapter.

 

1. We love shopping with our skinny friends, I promise! But, please remember we can’t always shop at the same stores as you, so when you want to go shopping we are more than happy to join, but know we will spend most of the time shopping for shoes and accessories.

 

2. We like big bold prints and clothes just as much as you. But of course, finding them in stores is not always easy. That is why we mostly shop online or at the few specialized plus size stores!

 

3. Finding clothes that fit us is harder, but we love to help you pick out clothes for your next event.

 

4. Please do not grab something from Urban Outfitters in a size large and say “I think this will fit you!” We know it won’t and we don’t want the struggle of trying it on.

 

5. Know that when we go into Forever 21, we are done in minutes because our section is extremely smaller than where you can shop from.

 

6. Don’t just pick out simple black clothes for us or something that makes us feel like we are wearing a tent. We like to break the rules and wear whatever we want.

 

7. We love to match with you for cute Instagram pics, but keep in mind there are only certain things we can wear. Finding things to match will most likely need to be bought online and may not always look great—but damn we will try! 

 

8. Remember, there is nothing we can’t do or wear!
