I went shopping for the first time in forever

I have an event to go to this weekend and needed new clothes. I don’t usually buy clothes + have been avoiding it. Ive gained pandemic weight so I feel self conscious. ANYWAYS. Goodness gracious. The amount of cute clothes I saw…but 80% being cropped and strappy. Why can’t we get cute patterns for larger sizes :( I walked into forever 21 and walked right out because it was no place for me. It’s so odd…

All bodies can wear cropped clothing but not all of us want to! I know the clothing industry has been always like this…but I guess I didn’t realize how hard it is to find clothing in person.
