Buying clothes and being plus size

So, I'm overweight. I'm actually really overweight. I'm not comfortable sharing exactly what I weigh, but it's not healthy. I'm working on it, I'm trying my best. I've been overweight since I was 2-3 years old and it's always been a problem. But as a child buying clothes wasn't a huge problem. But when I got into my teenage years, I on/off lost and gained weight, I realised what a hell it is being plus size and buying clothing.

And when I finally find things in my size, they're either not really meant for my age group (by that I mean it's meant for women over 30) or they're stupidly expensive. Like I'm talking 300 kr (roughtly £33 or $55) for a simple Jersey dress. I can't afford that. And I refuse to spend so much on something so simple. So I've always stuck to the same things. I've worn the same black dress every day for years. Sometimes I find something else I really like and wear it to death. But my wardrobe is very limited and I - believe it or not - am into a bit of fashion.

I'm a girly girl by heart, I love dressing up and doing my hair and make up. And I'm limited by my size to find even something close to being appropriate for my age. Until I found ASOS curve. I'm not sponsored by any means (even though I wish I was, ASOS HIT ME UP, I LOVE YOOOOU), I'm doing this if there's anyone out there in the same position as me. ASOS curve sells sizes between 18 and 28, which are UK sizing. If you're unsure of what your size is in UK, ASOS have a size guide which you can see HERE.

I was just browsing and saw some things on sale from them, and Sean in the end convinced me to buy them. I was so scared they wouldn't fit, because most things just don't fit. But they came, and I love them. I was so happy I was about to cry, I finally found somewhere cheap'ish with clothes that fits me. And it may seem like a silly thing, but it's honestly so.. So freeing having found a place with things I find pretty, in materials that flatter larger sizes and in so many different styles and colours.

And if you sign up for their email newsletters, they actually have sales every now and then which makes it that bit cheaper to shop. I got an email this afternoon and I "accidentally" bought two items which I will share with you!

 They came to a total of 259 kr (roughly £29/$47) which actually isn't bad. The two former dresses I bought are fantastic quality. They're so soft, so I can only imagine those two being as good quality. If you're fast, I think you can still get some good deals at the sale. Click here to go to the ASOS curve sale section. I'm not sure when it ends, though.

Shipping depends on where you live. I live in Denmark and it took around a week to arrive, which I think is fine. It's a UK based site, so if you live in Europe there'll be no import taxes! Win!

I hope this could help someone out there. I might do an ASOS curve wishlist at some point, because it's packed ;-) Have a lovely Monday!
