From a while back.
Dang, is there any clothes shopping experience that IS good for a woman's self-esteem?
There's a used clothing store in Berkeley or Oakland that carries only large sizes. I find the neatest stuff there at great prices, and the folks there are always so friendly and helpful. Last time, I was looking at a coat that wasn't exactly what I wanted, but thought it might be the best I could find, and another lady who was shopping there offered me the exact coat I wanted, for free. I love that store.
This is what makes shopping for shoes so much better. It's easier finding things that fit and are stylish and comfortable.
Grrr....I hate shoe shopping even more than clothes shopping. My feet are wide where they should be narrow, narrow where they should be wide, flat as a pancake, and hurt.
Note to self: get Daisy Jane financing to open clothing store, stat.
I'm so with you on this one. DJ's store sounds even better than my favorite.

Clothes shopping and shoe shopping are equally horrible. Every time I step into a store that sells clothes, I feel the walls closing in.
I have no girl cred. I just proved it again by getting a hairbrush hopelessly entangled in my hair while I was attempting blowdrying.

Ohhh, do you remember the name? I know of a place in Alameda, but it is always nice to find others.

Eh. I'm pretty girly and I do that all the time. It's not a question of girly so much as, "Is it possible for me to injure, maim, or otherwise embarass myself with this?"

Seams to Fit. I forgot it last time I was there, but double-checked with the friend that introduced me to it. I can never remember which town it is in, but I love it. They only go down to about size 14. Last I was there, there was a junk store next door, and this store is kind of falling apart at the seams, but the clothes are nice and cheap and the folks there are so nice.

I have NEVER been able to do that and I'm pretty girly. I've always wanted to just travel with a hairbrush and use the hair dryer in the hotel, but no. Always with the hot rollers or curling iron or hair in a bun.

I am still at work. Gronk?
Nice thing about short hair? Hard to get the brush entangled.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
There's a used clothing store in Berkeley or Oakland that carries only large sizes.
I just passed that place on Sunday on my way to take Matilda to visit her Papou! It's on Telegraph Ave. between Ashby and Alameda Streets, just barely on the Berkeley side of the city line.
It's really a kinda neat area -- the funky vintage boutique/hair salon Down At Lulu's is right nearby, as well as an enormous antique/junk store that fills up a nearby 2-story house and spills out over the yard and sidewalk, an excellent diner, and, further down Telegraph just past Alameda, a bookstore and a kids' stuff store that have always looked nifty and tempting but I've never actually stopped and looked in because I am lame.
