Plus Size Fast Fashion

By -
Forever 21 and Wet Seal, mall staples for cheap, trendy clothes will finally start selling plus size clothing in a few weeks. Unfortunately, they are following the example of Old Navy and will only be carrying these sizes online, because we all know once you hit a certain size, everything fits perfectly. Adding to the confusion is the term "extended sizes". Does this mean extra large and nothing else? It already feels like their sizes stop in the single digits.

Is this news a cause to celebrate or does it feel like a pathetic attempt to gain new customers?

1. That would be awesome but
2. buying stuff online sucks

If they opened separate stores (21 Plus!), I bet they'd make a killing.

I agree with Heather - 21 Plus sounds like a great idea.

why cant they just start carrying all the stuff in +sizes in the store? it would be easy, and a lot better. i dont even care that much they started carrying my sizes (im a big gal :)) but the way theyre going around to it isn't going to convince me to start caring.

They could have their own little plus section, a la Mauices or Deb, but way cuter. Silly Forever 21.

2) Why can't they just carry everything in the stores????

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
