Plus Size Clothing

The clothing industry makes millions of dollars every year. Everyone needs some type of clothing to wear on a daily basis. Keeping the average person clothed for a year is not what brings in the big dollars. It is the media promotion of high fashion that brings in the significant money. Most people, especially women, want to wear what is currently the fashion trend. Even the slightest alteration in the cut of clothing can signal if you are wear last years or this years styles.

For many years women who have larger bodies have been forced to wear clothing that is not in style. Plus size clothing was made from different fabrics and different patterns than misses sizes. You could find the area of the clothing department that carried the plus size clothing simply by looking for the bright colors mixed in with a great deal of black. For some reason the clothing industry thought that if you were over weight or pregnant you wanted to wear bright colors, large prints and polyester material. Many times the plus size clothing department would be next to the maternity clothes.

Things have gotten somewhat better for the bigger size women. Pants and jeans are readily available in larger cuts. Many of the dress clothes however still tend to be gaudier than the smaller sized clothing. A great deal of sequins, appliqués, and beaded embellishments are incorporated into the dressy plus size clothing. This type of embellishment tends to make the person wearing the clothes look older. The stores that specialize in larger sizes tend to be more expensive. The clothing is trendier and in fabrics and colors that are more complimentary, however the prices often limit many women from being able to buy their entire wardrobe.

The piece in all of this that seems very strange is that there are millions of people that are overweight in our country, yet the fashion industry consistently caters to the skinniest people. A skinny person will not find a dress with large prints and lace embellishments on their area of the clothing rack. It seems odd that the manufactures and designers of clothing think that because someone is larger in size they want to have clothing that draws attention to them by the gaudy embellishments. Larger women need to find a way to help manufactures understand that plus size clothing needs to look like smaller clothing in the fabrics and patterns used. The clothing needs to be larger in cut, but it can still be made to look the same as regular sized clothing.

Window Bird Feeders

I know a lot of people who like birds, and most of them love to feed them in one way or another. Most have birdfeeders that hang from a tree, or they scatter seed outside when there is snow on the ground for the birds that have stuck around for the winter. However, there are some very cool feeders out there that can bring you even closer to the birds that you love. You can get window bird feeders that will allow you to view them without scaring them off.

I first saw window bird feeders when I worked as a maid cleaning houses while going through college. I had no idea that they existed until I saw one, and I thought it was one of the coolest things I had ever seen. These window bird feeders were right up against the window, much like a half a bowl. You would think that would scare the birds, but they were rather calm. The window had tinting on it near the feeder that allowed people in the house to watch without the birds even knowing they were there.

These window bird feeders are really great, but they do look as if they cost a pretty penny. If you want to invest in one, I can’t imagine that you would be sorry that you did so. However, if you want something similar, but you don’t want to spend quite as much, you can make your own alternative. You can have your window tinted and hang a few regular feeders out there. The birds will come but will not be able to see you if you come close to the window.

You can find either type of window bird feeders in stores near you, or you can find them online. Don’t forget to get some hummingbird feeders as well, as those can be a lot of fun to own, and the hummingbirds seem to love them. You may want to put different types of bird seed in your window bird feeders so that you can attract more than one type of bird, but try to find some that discourage squirrels because once they are in there, but birds will be much less likely to come and relax in your feeder. Squirrels can be distracted by offering them their own food in squirrel feeders, set far away from your bird feeders. That usually keeps them away from the birds.

Skate Shoes

One of the newer things I have seen that drives me crazy are the new skate shoes. I can’t remember what they are called, but I can’t help but think they are very dangerous. They look like fun, but I don’t think I would allow my daughter to walk out of the house with them on her feet, even when she gets older. I can see why they would be fun, but I think perhaps some caution should be taken when children are using or wearing them. I don’t want to spoil the fun by any means, but I’ve seen a few kids take spills with them, and they got pretty banged up.
