I gained some weight over the pandemic. As a result, I lost most of my wardrobe. Being a Body Positive Girlie(TM), I thought, Well, that's fine, I will save some money and do a big shopping trip and redo my wardrobe!

I just came back from the first attempted shopping trip and I couldn't find one plus-size tank top I liked.

Knowing the issue is the fashion industry, and not my body, isn't helping much right now

#it was just... I can't walk very long on account of my flat feet #and I went to a big commercial center in a big town #there were clothing stores everywhere you looked #but it felt like I had to swim in the enormous sea of clothing to get to tiny islands of plus-size stores #none of which had SIMPLE TANK TOPS #I found TWO stores that sold SIMPLE. TANK. TOPS.#and both of them had collars up to the neck which #it just baffles me? how can your default plus-size clothing be so high-collared?#you know what that DOES to big boobs? it is NOT flattering.#plus I got ignored and just given 'dunno' flat stares a buncha times when I asked for directions #which is pretty normal in a big busy commerce center #but I already felt so bad because nothing seemed to cater to me #and so much shit was closed? IT WAS 3PM ON A FRIDAY WHY WAS SO MUCH SHIT CLOSED??#at some point it just felt like 'Ugh nobody WANTS you here you dumb idiot GO HOME'#I'll be all right. I'll try a smaller commerce center close to home that I know well.#and online shopping if all else fails #but right now I feel incredibly shitty.
