Most of the clothes in my new closet are from Asos Curve, I think mainly because I find it so much fun to shop there. I love watching the models on the catwalk, especially the plus size ones, who are not plus size at all, they're just beautiful, healthy women : they radiate confidence, it's so refreshing to be able to relate to them.
Some of the clothes are spectacular, and incredibly flattering, will soon post pics!
let them eat cake and be chic

closet therapy
I used to have a closet full of clothes I could or would not wear: clothes too big, too old, in need of repair; but mostly too small, that I bought knowing they were one or two or three (?!?) sizes too small without even trying them on, just because I really liked them, for "when I have lost x kilos".
How CRAZY is that? throwing away money for clothes you end up never wearing? And anyway, if I did lose the weight, by then the fashion had changed and I was lusting after new stuff. The world is full of shops and clothes you can buy anytime, you really don't need to make provisions!
So I would dress horribly, wearing the same clothes day after day, feeling miserable, waiting for the shiny future when I would be thin and attractive in the wonderful clothes that would not fit me yet.
One day I decided to throw/donate everything away (selling the stuff is even better, you get to shop with the money earned), and keep only what fit me and was in a really good condition: I was left with practically nothing, so had to buy new clothes in my size.
Now when I open my closet, I can wear anything that hangs in there, everything fits me, my only problem when dressing is choice, and how to coordinate items ; it's the most liberating feeling in the world! True closet happiness!
Just get rid of any clothes that don't fit you, life is now, enjoy!
