Once looking through the racks and being struck smack in the face with "Alfred Dunner" hell: Oh gods, I hate those clothes....
 |
| I understand that some women love these clothes - I must not have those genes |
- Embroidered necklines (how the heck can someone wear an art necklace with this neckline??)
- Elastic waist tapered pants (and sadly I know someone who still wears these?)
- Caribbean resort wear with drinks or flamingos
- Horizontal stripes - in plus size clothes? WTF? (Just stab me in the eye)
- Embroidered kittens chasing butterflies on the front of the sweatshirt with the picot lace on the collar
- Stripes with an overlaying print
- Flowered necklines
Why is it so hard to find cool, artsy clothes at a reasonable price for women?
I have found a few items here and there that are funky and hip. With a tagword of "lagenlook" I have found some really nice ideas to look for.

| In one of my fav pieces, I wore it on a cruise and at a graduation ceremony (and I am still shorter than Dr. Salami) and now to work on a regular basis |
The above tunic is from one of my favorite places right now is from Coco and Juan - reasonable cost and quality that will wear well - but at the price, I can replace it in a couple of years.
What are some of your favorite place to shop for fun, funky, reasonably priced clothing?

I might have been able to help you out until you said 'reasonably priced' that makes it much harder!
It's the reasonably priced part. I understand the cost per wear theory, hard for a whole wardrobe.
Thanks for turning me on to Coco&Juan, Liz. I favorited and WILL be shopping! I agree that it's hard to find plus size clothing that is cute too!
Wow - Thank you Liz. I've lerked around your site because I love your work and then the post came with the clothes. I just ordered a tunic. What a wonderful site. I'm the same as you - who can find anything arty to wear that isn't priced out of sight.
you look adorable!
being as i have had this small(and by that I mean large) problem since I "developed"(what am i colorchrome?) I have a hard time finding shirts and dresses that fit because manufacturers DO NOT make cloths that fit a wooman with boobs! agh! I have 2 faves that haven't let me down yet, Pyramid collection on-line, they are a little pricey but worth it (they have goddess sizes ;) and dress barn of, all places, has cute, affordable,dress up and down cloths(also comes in goddess sizes)
