Plus Size Shopping in NYC 2.0
My first blog post about plus size shopping in NYC did so well I decided to update the list of places to shop! If you wanna read the original blog post click here. I love being able to update these posts like this because NYC is an ever changing town and places that were open once before may not be open right now.
New York City is best known as the shopping mecca of the East coast (the world is debatable). What it's not known for its plus-sized fashions. Let's face it although the majority of America is heading toward the double-digit waist size many retailers and designers alike just don't make clothes for women after a certain size.
Shopping in a place like New York is already hard enough but is only made harder for those sizes 14 and up. Below are some shops selling clothing from S to XXXL so you can find what you need at affordable prices.

There’s something about getting dressed in New York City that makes you rethink your entire wardrobe.
You can leave your apartment in the morning for a coffee run and somehow end up walking three miles, sitting in a café for two hours, running errands, meeting a friend for dinner, and making an impromptu stop somewhere you’ve never been before. Your clothes have to keep up with you.
And honestly? I think getting older has changed the way I think about getting dressed, too.
In my 20s, I was much more willing to buy something simply because I thought it was cute. These days, I want my clothes to be cute and comfortable. I want pieces that can be worn five different ways, shoes I can actually walk in, and a wardrobe that makes getting dressed feel easier instead of more complicated.
