My Shopping Experience at Torrid

A few days ago, I walked into a Torrid store for the very first time. I had heard of this store before from a friend of mine. I saw a picture of her wearing the cutest corset-style shirt that looked amazing on her and I immediately demanded that she tell me where she got it. She told me she got it at Torrid. I'd never heard of Torrid so I hurriedly looked up the store and browsed their clothing selection online, but I'd never actually been in the store until the other day when I happened to see it at the mall.

I love, love, love this store!! The very best part? In Torrid, I'm a size 2! Yes! You heard correctly, a SIZE 2! In all other clothing stores, I'm a 16-18 or an x-tra large (sometimes an x-tra, x-tra large). Not in Torrid! In Torrid I'm a smaller size than I've ever been in my life! Whoever thought up this sizing system was a genius. It doesn't say you're a 2X extra large, just a "2". Let me tell you, this does great things for your self-image.

The second best part is the clothes! The clothing line at Torrid is one of the best I've seen for us voluptuous women. They have a wonderful selection to choose from including hats, shoes and everything in between and even underneath! The styles there range from retro young to modern classy and are full of color, instead of the usual black, white and grey. They have cool t-shirts with skulls on them alongside classy button-up blouses. There are cute little plaid skirts and jeans alongside beautiful dresses, skirts and slacks. Everything you'd want for your professional look and your fun look. For underneath it all they have a large selection of sexy, pretty, and flattering lingerie for everyday wear and also those special occasions.

If you're a young (or young at heart) girl who's tired of wearing the same old, unflattering styles that your typical store provides for a woman with curves, check out Torrid! You won't be sorry!
