A sartorial follow-up to her hilarious memoir in stories, Fat Girl Walking, internet personality Brittany Gibbons once again deep dives into the world of the plus size woman, this time chronicling her love/hate (but mostly hate) relationship with what fashion.

From Pinterest boards and Instagram posts to shop windows and ad campaigns, fashion is everywhere. We shop and dress for practical reasons like job interviews or to make a good impression at the board meeting. We shop and dress for more adventurous reasons--for dates, to woo a lover, to catch someone's eye. Clothes are armor for women, and we wrap a lot of meaning in what we choose to wear.

As plus-size spokesmodel and blogger Brittany Gibbons knows, what we choose to wear is especially important, and especially emotional, for curvy women. This isn't only because curvy women feel underrepresented and underserved by the fashion world. For the curvy woman who struggles with feelings of self-worth and a lack of confidence the feeling of why bother can come crashing in. You can't help but think wouldn't leggings and a slouchy sweater just be easier? Especially when we, like every other woman on the planet, are facing greater, real-life obstacles like raising kids, attending college, keeping your marriage together, paying bills, and a myriad of other daily struggles.

Everyone has those days where they hate their body, they hate their clothes, but self-confidence and strength can come from a great outfit. Brittany is determined to help women, curvy and otherwise, embrace fashion and all the bumps and lumps that come with it. An overdue love letter to her body, Brittany delves into the hilarity and the humility of her quest to find her own personal style--to break out of a rut of maternity underwear and men's undershirts once and for all. From wardrobe malfunctions, to fashion advice, to mom bodies and the perfect pose, The Clothes Make the Girl (Look Fat)? is the empowered battle cry all women deserve.

Best way to remove makeup EVER!! EASY, FAST, AND REFRESHING

This WORKS!!! My skin feels nice and clean after using this brand of micellar water! It is pro level!!! Way better than those make up remover wipes (which I had used for years) until I found this gem! No rinsing needed!

Gentle makeup remover that works well
Style: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this micellar water and really appreciate that it comes in a travel size. It’s gentle on the skin and works well for removing makeup without irritation. It’s easy to use and convenient for trips or keeping in a bag. Overall, it’s a great cleanser that I would definitely use again.

Great addition to the garden
What a nice statue. The detail is better than I expected. The flowers look so delicate, yet the statue is sturdy and should hold up well to the elements. Item was well packed for shipping, totally encased in styrofoam. The lights are the best part. They are bright enough to illuminate the angel's face but not overpowering. The lights give her face an almost mystical glow. This statue would look good in any garden as well as indoor use. I don't regret this purchase at all. In fact, considering purchasing another for the back porch.

Will not disappoint!
It’s a beautiful garden decor to add to your outdoor area. It came a bit charged so I was able to see it lit soon after unboxing it. Since then I’ve placed it outside and at night it’s bright and a beauty to look at in my garden. I would buy this again in a heart beat! It’s well made and an ideal size, big enough not to get lost in the garden of plants and flowers I have in my backyard. It looks just like in the pictures provided overall very satisfied with my purchase and you will be too!
