Old Navy update
back from the Old Navy adventure ... and made the wonderful discovery that even their mannequins are of a more voluptuous build - with actual arms, boobs, waists and hips! :-)
That's right, my lovelies ... no plus-sized clothing pinned onto the skinny mannequins to make it fit. Instead, we get mannequins that are meant to fit into the clothes, and can give us a good idea of how the clothes lie on the body!
As for my clothing purchases, I picked up a pair of black pinstriped pants, a pair of blue fine-wale cordouroy pants (dressy enough for work - casual enough for the weekends) and a spiffy new striped button-down shirt.
The skirts were cool looking, but I'm kind of in an awkward position ... the 20W fits perfectly, but may only fit me for a short time. The 18W is snug, but does not fit properly right now. So, I've decided to wait until the 18 fits better before I invest in a new skirt.
