While visiting the Today.com blogs and videos today, I came across a video from Easy Living called Shopping as a Size Zero. Why’d everybody get so quite? Okay, yes I thought the same thing. Now settle down ladies. It is hard to be petite and shop for clothes, I’m petite at 5’1” and shrinking…umm…in height, and let me tell you, it is very hard to find fashionable clothes in my size that fit me.

Easy Living followed this British woman who recounted visiting New York City and not being able to find any clothes while she was shopping (maybe she was in the wrong part of New York City). So when she returned home she visited some shops that dressed her up in Size 0 couture. At least they think it was couture.

It broke my heart to see her pick up the clothes off the rack and declare each piece too big. It also broke my heart that they kept dressing her in black and grey. Not to mention the stilettos to give her height. Hey, there is nothing wrong with being height challenged.

Watch the video, but I warn you it is over six minutes, a very long six minutes of a woman shopping…for size 0 clothes. Please make sure you are not alone in the house and that you have nothing to beat yourself over the head with incessantly.

So, tell us your biggest problem when shopping for clothes, is it the fashion or the size?

I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours.

It doesn’t get any better than this. Three years ago Amsterdam created a race called the Stiletto run where women race for $15,000…in stilettos for 380 yards. Berlin and others have followed suit with their version as well. Read the rest of this entry »

I guess if we were to start this blog off right on any women’s topic, it should be women’s shoes don’t you think? And please don’t think BigShoes is all about shoes…it’s not, but if you came here by accident it is my duty to give you something to read. Read the rest of this entry »

BigShoes is just that, it is about the big shoes we try to fill in our everyday lives. As women we have the pleasure of wearing different shoes for any occasion. Our shoes are full of color, our shoes are full of personality and sometimes our shoes are all about stress and pain! BigShoes, a metaphor for our condition… Read the rest of this entry »
