i went to hot topic today to relive my youth and was hella disappointed bc they didnt have sizes above a 7. like wtf?? i remember when i was a size 16-18 i was able to find some pants n shorts there. not a lot but i was still able to put together at least one full outfit. i used to buy a lotta cute dresses from there too.
today i literally only bought one shirt (a blink-182 shirt for anyone curious) n i wanted a long sleeve nirvana shirt but couldn't reach n i didnt wanna ask for help bc i was so upset n disappointed that i couldn't get all of the things i found cute i jus bought my one fave item n left.
this is why my wardrobe is mostly old worn out clothes bc everytime i go to a store i cant find shit in my size. which now i'm a 22-24.
i also went to torrid and their jeans are mad overpriced for not even being made out of denim!!! a fucking pair of jeans off the clearance rack was $50. OFF THE CLEARANCE RACK??? i was so disappointed esp since i looked sooo good in them. but i'm not gonna spend $50 on a pair of jeans thats a fucking spandex, polyester, rayon blend whatever the fuck. im not spending $50 on plastic jeans!!! if they were cotton denim i would have. n they were blue so i would have had to dye them black. (which isnt torrids fault. the fault with torrid is the overpriced plus size clothing made from cheap ass materials. oh and their leggings are still see through)
its so disappointing shopping in this fucking country as a plus size person. and honestly as a midsize person. cuz hot topic i stg only had little ass clothing like for fuckkn tiny ass ppl.
i dont like the "just shop online" argument. its a thought terminating cliche. i dont want to wait AT LEAST 7 business days to receive my items that MAY OR MAY NOT fit me. I want to walk into a store and buy what i need day of. i fucking hate online shopping. i hate the fees, i hate the prices, i hate the wait time. i hate the return process. it is not worth the hassle. and neither is shopping in person.
ughhhh i hate these fucking companies. i hate that they make literal crap out of the cheapest garbage materials on the planet and sell it at high markups as if its a curated boutique piece. i hate that ppl willing give these places their money. i hate that we hardly have a choice. i hate that plus size ppl are always being scammed and punished for being fat. im fucking sick of this.
