#psbloggers meet

So I'm a bit late to the post but the first weekend of May, a few bloggers and myself met up at Westfield Stratford for a day of shopping and food. We chose this shopping mall as it seemed to offer the most choice for plus size shoppers.


After grabbing a morning starbucks our first place to tackle was Forever 21. I led the way to upstairs to the small corner dedicated to forever 21+ but it wasnt there. When I approached someone they said it was behind the tills downstairs.


Upon finding it we could not believe our eyes. The small corner with limited choice spanned over at least 3 wall frames, even displaying clothing on mannequins (something that retailers like New Look don't tend to do in their plus size areas.)

I couldn't believe the choice and options we had in store. I bought a few items but after having them in my wardrobe for 3 weeks and being in two minds to keep them, ended up taking them back.

Being on a limited budget, I now find when shopping I need at least 3/4 different ways to wear an item before I can decide to keep it. Saying that there was no other reason to take the items back. I haven't ever really ordered from the brand, due to not yet having trust with sizing and also with there being such limited choices in store to try. It's safe to say I am now a dedicated Forever 21+ customer and feel more trusting to purchase online (IF I have to of course. I'm hoping they don't, ever decide to minimise the choice in their Stratford store.)


Here's some pictures of the shop and the girls.

I ADORED this jumpsuit but I just couldn't pair it with anything to dress it down. If it has been all jersey as opposed to Ponte jersey top and silky polyester at the bottom I probably could of got away with dressing it up and down. I'm still searching for the perfect jumpsuit still! 



Ended up taking these shorts back. The slits you can see on the right cut in an awkward place that showed my knickers. A little to risky for even my standards.
