Fat people clothes

Ok be prepared this is a major gripe session! 

I know, I know.... I shouldn't say that I am fat..... but come on, what else can you call it? Plus sized, bigger than the average person? They all sound about as amazing as one another... NOT! To be honest it doesn't bother me the label I get. I know within me, that I am amazing!

I spent time this weekend shopping. I was looking for a new jacket for work. Something smart but not totally business to go over my new smart work shirts. I went to a lot of shops, in various shopping centres, and came up with nothing and I have come to the following assumptions.

1. Fat people don't work. They are not entitled to own smart casual attire for work. If you are over a size 18/20 you clearly stay at home all day stuffing your face with junk food. You don't work in an office or any other position that requires you to be in semi business attire.
2. Fat people clearly shouldn't work out, or if they want to they should be thick skinned when they go shopping. If you are normally a 18 they are like to be a 24 in fitness clothes. I decided yesterday that I am not thick skinned enough. Yes I got a new work out top and pants for Konga, but I am not a size Fucking 24! I never have been and it hurt to see that on the tags. No matter how much I tried to tell myself that it shouldn't and didn't.
3. For every 5 or 10 racks of 'normal' sized people's clothes there might be 1 rack of clothes to fit the bigger person. Oh my god I just want to walk into a store and not have to find the minuscule amount of clothing that might be my size.
4. I don't have a problem paying full price for something as long as it fits. City Chic has some lovely clothes, and I never thought that I would say this, but my boobs are not big enough and my hips are too big to fit there outfits.
5. Fabrics, cut, design and colours/patterns are crap. Sorry I take offence to a piece of clothing looking and feeling like a Burlap sack. I don't want to wear a top that looks like I ripped the curtains off of a house from the 70's or 80's or leggings that show nothing but bulges in all the wrong places. Treggings.... What the actual fuck?! I thought Jeggings were bad enough.
6. Sale racks are a bust to most of the time. If it is plus sized and on a sale rack there is normally a reason for it. Don't get me wrong though sometimes you get a bargain on these racks but normally I am not that lucky.
7. Speciality stores and nice and make a change from the Kmarts, Big W and Targets of the world but a lot of places design with a size 6/8 in mind and once you get to size 18 or above you wonder why they bother having bigger sizes.

So needless to say I didn't get my jacket, the one I really needed. I did get frustrated and annoyed however I the grand scheme of things this doesn't help. 

This is me. I will just have to deal with it. 

Oh and keep searching for that elusive jacket for work.
