Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you get your clothes?
I do most of my shopping online, since the selection of plus size clothes in stores in NZ is less than awesome (other than City Chic, of course!). Some of my favourite links:
Pinup Girl Clothing
Domino Dollhouse
Dorothy Perkins
Bettie Page Clothing
ASOS Curve
I also regularly hunt through eBay and etsy for lovely goodies from random sellers.
Where did you get that dress/skirt/top/necklace/etc?
I always list the store at which I purchased each item of clothing and accessory at the bottom of each and every one of my outfit posts. Please check before asking. :)
How do I know what size to order online?
The most foolproof way to shop for clothes online - particularly when buying tops, skirts or dresses, cause they’re easier - is to take your bust, waist and hips measurements and then order according to the size chart that corresponds to the item you want to purchase. Guessing based on the size you usually get when shopping at the mall will almost always end in disappointment - sizes vary across stores and countries. Knowing your measurements makes shopping online easy, fun and successful!
Why do you cut your hair so short?
There is a short answer and a long answer for this.
The short answer: because I like it this way.
The long answer: my hair is very fine and tangles easily. It is an absolute pain in the ass when it’s long because it becomes an ugly tangled mess literally minutes after brushing/styling, and I usually ended up just pulling it back anyway. Short hair avoids this and is low maintenance, another mark in its favour. Also, I like it this way.
