Print blazers–NOT off an animal, please

Thank the fashion gods for Anna Scholz, or all plus women would still be stuck on the frustrating fashion sidelines. I’ve noticed cute floral print blazers all over the magazines, much like this:

I can’t find anything remotely equivalent in plus sizes at all at the moment. Paint me VERY annoyed. The next best thing I managed to locate was this:

I am, however, finding plenty of plus size animal print blazers. I keep having leopard print handed to me over and over again, and I’m just going to keep handing it back.  I like a leopard print on my umbrella. I might even tolerate on a purse. But anything that actually touches my skin? No. Why is putting fat people in animal prints a thing now? I don’t get it. I realize that there are many people who LOVE the trend – people I know, love, admire, respect. Even so, my Northwest Indiana childhood will leave me associating “leopard print” with women who leave their babies at the bar, or the background dancers in Richard Simmons exercise videos.

You can see if you have better luck finding plus size floral print blazers on Fat Chic Clothing Search. (Note: by using “jacket” instead of “blazer” I did get better options. But still…)

    I thought I was the only person who hated animal print! It’s so terrible Of course the summer I start paying attention to fatshion is the summer of hideous animal print, florals, and maxi dresses, all of which I hate, argh.
