My Rough Draft(I believe....)

I believe in cute clothes for big girls. Shopping is rarely fun for a girl larger than a size 12. Time and Time again I have had to face the humiliation of having to leave a clothing store because I couldn't even fit into their largest sizes. I've only found one store that takes care of my needs. Most stores normally stop at a size 12, and you could always tell by that smirk the cashier lady gave you that that was not a store that "carried your size". I know what your thinking,"Just lose weight,"but anyone whose ever been that overweight knows that it is not that simple. Losing weight is a long and difficult battle, so why not look good during the fight? One of my 1st and worse experiences happened when I was around 10. Limited Too was the love of my life. I used to look at their catalogs all the time and imagine myself in all of their cute clothes. However, I was too young to realize just how "Limited" Limited Too was. When my mom asked the lady what the largest sizes were she said "12/14". Nothing in that store felt even remotely like a 12/14. Not even the tracksuits. It was heartbreaking. What kind of message are they trying to send girls like me? That big girls aren't supposed to be cute? That big girls don't deserve cute clothes? I wonder what it was like for my mother to have to tell me that I can't shop in my dream store and wear pretty clothes like the other girls because I'm too fat to fit the clothes. While my friends came back to school year after year wearing the latest fashions, I had to come back wearing my Aunts latest hand me downs. What 10 year old wears Liz Claiborne? I understand that I wont be able to pull off a halter top and some booty shorts but come on! Can't a big girl get a pair of jeans or a tee-shirt or something? These stores need to stop hating on the curvy cuties and start making larger sizes. Your clothes have a lot to do with people's first impression of you, so everyone (including big girls) wants to look good.
