Fat girls don't dress up.

Before I explain the title of today's post, let me just say that I am so excited. Tomorrow is D's bridal shower at my apartment. I can't wait! Things are starting to come together, and it's so pretty! I hope she's as excited about it as I am. I bought our group gift today, and did a little extra shopping while I was at the mall. Or at least, I tried to.

I wanted to find something pretty and feminine, preferably a dress, to wear to the shower, and possibly for Easter or my own showers down the road. But apparently fat girls don't dress up. Apparently if you are a size 14 or bigger, you have no occasion in your life that requires clothing other than track suits, shapeless knitwear, and elastic waisted double knit pants. You don't need pretty blouses, you don't need a dress, and you certainly don't need lingerie that is anything but functional. I know that I am overweight. I don't need Macy's to remind me of that. But until the problem is rectified, I'd like to wear something pretty, and that is clearly out of the question.
