In a recent conversation with one of my favorite curvy friends, I
suggested that she get some leather items for fall and she told me "Us
Big Girls, can't wear leather!" For a moment, her comment took me back
to the past - a past where I'd lived in ill-fitting skirts and pants
from places like Wilson's House of Suede and Leather (hey, it was the
early 90's!).
I LOVE leather, the feel, the smell, the look; I even love the vegan
and faux-leather and always have! Back then, I was willing
to compromise true fashion just for the chance to rock leather that was
often too tight or didn't fit well at all. I could never find the
cutest items in my size or that seemed to compliment my shape, which isn't quite straight size, but not quite, plus size either.
