I was shopping with my Mother on Saturday for new cute duds at Lane Bryant (she's a fellow fattie) and I found the cutest cord jacket, which I loved so much that I ended up buying it.
However, before I went to checkout, I perused the store like 5 or 6 times over. I happen to see another lady (who looked very uncomfortable in her skin) eyeing the jacket that I picked up for myself...so I went over and said, "You should get that jacket - it's too cute. Wear it with a turtleneck, some jeans and a fab pair of boots. You're good to go!" She looked at me in amazement and asked if I worked at Lane Bryant - I said no, I'm just a fat fashionista. She and I both shared a laugh and then she asked if I could help her put together another outfit for her. She tried her clothing on and I gave her the thumbs up -- there's nothing like getting a seal of approval from another fat chick! More importantly, I noticed a change in her demeanor while she was in the dressing room. She smiled and I could tell she really liked the way she looked.
As a fat woman, I love to see other fat women that are confident and pulled together, and really work what they've got, so it felt good to, if only for a moment, boost that lady's esteem.
Just thought I'd share.
