Lane Bryant. It's a love/hate relationship

It's the only place I can shop the majority of the time. But lately I hate going in there. What pisses me off the most is they know damned well those mannequins they dress are not a size 14. They use the same ones every other store uses so I am going to assume it's around a size 6 or so. The smallest shirts they have are pinned beyond belief, you don't ever wanna buy something off their mannequins even if it a must have last one in your size! Everything looks so cute until you hit the dressing rooms. Bastards. Besides the fact that I cringe at a $40 shirt, everything is so flashy. I don't want sequins, beads, pearls and loud prints. Just because I am plus sized doesn't mean I need to wear a sandwich board screaming it. And if the shirts aren't all jazzed up then they look like maternity shirts. Anyway I walked outta there with three flashy shirts and some new Bermuda shorts. I wouldn't have bought the shirts but they were black and the flash was also black which makes it a little less in your face. Maybe it's there way of saying, "get your lazy ass up and exercise, then you wouldn't even be in here!"
