I've decided to be more expressive and trendy with my fashion. Yesterday I went out to the mall to look for more stylish clothes and spent four hours shopping...and only came back with one outfit I really love. What I discovered is that I look great in crop tops with fringes on them. I am fat (a size XL womens, L men), and not only does that limit what is available (it's damn near impossible to find size XL in stores like Forever 21 and Tilly's) it limits the styles I can wear while having a big belly, muffin top, big legs, etc. So what's great about crop tops with fringes is that it gives the illusion of being thin, hides what I don't want people to see, while being summer-ready and fashion-forward.

I stayed up late last night looking for crop tops online. The one crop top I liked at Forever 21 busted the button. So on etsy, I looked for crop tops that were in my size, and I found someone who makes a huge selection of crop tops for super cheap...only $27 compared to the competition who start at $50.

These are the two I am going to buy. The pink one I am actually going to customize to be red, white, and blue for the fourth of July. I am so excited!
