  I’ve been reading your blog for a while now, and while I think you have a good sense of style and interesting opinions sometimes the things you write seem unnecessarily harsh. Please, stop writing posts about how much you hate Mariah Carey/Victoria Beckham. WE GET IT. You don’t like their senses of style, and while I’m not particularly fond of them myself, it can get quite annoying with all the “this looks like something Miss Carey would wear, stay away!” etc.
  Anyway, to get back to my main point when I read this post and saw that snide comment about size 14s, it just makes me feel horrible for all the women who have to read that who might think they’re fat and how they feel. I’m not fat by any means myself, I mean I’m a size zero, but I’ve had my own insecurities to deal with being so thin. Anyone can be interested in clothes, no matter what their body type, very few people look like Kate Moss. Maybe someone larger can pull off that type off shirt but because of your post they would be afraid to try it. Anyone can have a great sense of style and look beautiful if they try.

  ^ thanks for the comment jospehine. It’s interesting to hear what different people’s opinions are.

  To start, the entire concept of this blog is fashion and humour. What I write is not always to be taken at face value, nor it is always nice. The reality is that designers do create clothes that are not friendly or “nice” to a larger women, and I much rather state it upfront. I think it would be unfair to tell someone that they may look great in skinny jeans or a shapeless metallic sack if they are a size 16. However, a larger woman can look great in some loose fitting trousers and a statement blouse. I think the post on “What to Wear Now: Boyfriends’ Parents House” is quite a universal look when you take away the high waist.

  That said, as you noted, I do not discriminate against those with larger body types. Victoria Beckham is probably one of, if not THE, skinniest celeb out there. Therefore, body type is no indication of sense of style or fashion.

  As for my posts about Carey/Beckham/Longoria, I think it’s hilarious what they wear and I enjoy looking at their outfits for comedic value. Should you not be interested in these posts, by all means, please feel free to skip over them and read more “good fashion” posts.

  On that note, I have gone to a Mariah Carey concert and I was a big “Posh” fan back in the day. Even when I do write posts about them, it is obviously out of a certain fascination with them. I mean, there are more horrific outfits out there, as seen on that fugly website, but I choose to narrow it down to a few who I find more fascinating them simply having bad style.

  I think it is important not to censor what I write. That said, I will take your comments into consideration. Your comment has gotten me to think about discussing clothing for non-Kate Moss bodied women.

  Thanks for your interest in the FASHION.VERBATIM.!
