I guess I didn't post these here because they weren't my favourites, but they were on the Facebook page (if you haven't "like"d us yet then please click here and do) and a few people have commented on them saying they liked them, so I thought I might as well. Enjoy!

Another New Outfit

This is another new outfit I wore this week to teach. It's a bit more casual than some of the other ones I've put up here, so I was sort of reluctant to put this one up, but what do you all think? Would you like me to continue posting outfits like these, or do you prefer my more fancy/unique outfits? I really like to have your feedback, so please leave me comments! I love to hear from you all so much!

Cardigan - Ricki's/Top and Jeans - Forever 21 +/Shoes - CBX (Costa Blanca Accessories)/Briefcase - Thrifted (Value Village)

Hope you liked this outfit! Check back very soon for a feature on an awesome Canadian plus size clothing store, including an interview with its owner and photos! I'm not telling which store it is, though! You'll have to check back for that!!!

Retro Thrifted Plus Size Glory!!! What I'm Wearing (or OOTD)

Hey Everyone,

Check out the new list of online stores that sell plus size clothing on the right sidebar! These are some online stores that are pretty great and that ship to Canada. If you have any suggestions for other fashionable stores you'd like me to add to the list, comment and I'll check them out!

As promised, in this post I will be featuring a plus size top I got from the Canadian thrift store Value Village. I want to apologize in advance for the number of times I am going to be using the words "Canadian" and "plus size" in this post. This blog currently appears on page 16 of a google search under those terms, so I'm trying to get the google bots to notice us so we can build an even bigger, more influential community here. On that note, Canadian, Canadian, Canadian. Plus size, plus size, plus size! There, that should help! When I went to Value Village... in Canada... I found this awesome pink plus size top. LOL. The bf thought I was crazy for liking it, but it's totally awesome genuine 80s vintage. I typically never shop at vintage stores because I feel like it's kind of lazy of me when I can go to a thrift store and look for WAY cheaper vintage items there... I got this shirt for $2.99! I was looking at ebay Canada's site for plus size items of the same label (Yves Venet) and items like it are being sold anywhere from $50-$100! I got a good deal! I also found a seventies style top, but I haven't figured out how I want to style it yet. I tried it with jeans, but since it's got long sleeves, I feel a bit too covered up. Maybe it would work better with a plus size skirt (I really am sorry for this, I know, it's a travesty). I wore this outfit to teach in and I felt wonderful in it. My style for this outfit (and this entire blog, actually) was somewhat inspired by Gabi from Young Fat and Fabulous. She's always rocking such awesome bright colours and killer skirts. The sleeves are probably my favourite part. In hindsight, though, I probably should have worn some heels with this... Canadian Plus Size. Canadian Plus Size. Canadian Plus Size.

So anyways, here's the outfit - I hope you like it. This was before all the snow in Toronto, obviously. Yuck. Springtime snow sucks.

I hope you like this Canadian girl in a plus size outfit! Honestly, though, I would love to hear what all of you think, and if you have any suggestions for online stores that ship fashionable plus size stuff to Canada. And thanks for putting up with all my "Canadian" and "plus size" references, lol!

UPDATE: I just checked google, and we're now up to page 4! Woohoo! I think it's working...!
