My love/hate relationship with cardigans

New Zealand plus size fashion blogger Meagan Kerr wears 17 Sundays Roller Ladder Knit Boyfriend Cardi

I have developed a mistrust of cardigans. Sounds a bit weird, I know, but bear with me. I’ve been cleaning out my closet recently, and one of the things I seem to have an abundance of is black cardigans. It got me thinking about how I ended up with so many items of clothing that pretty much look the same, and I realised that they were a carry over from the days when I thought that my arms had to be covered at all times because holy shit, what if someone saw my jiggly arms and realised I was fat?

Country girl

Country girl // New Zealand plus size fashion blogger Meagan Kerr in western wear inspired outfit

I am a city girl now, but when I was a kid we moved to the country. We had a small farm with cows, sheep, pigs, chickens and bees; I went to a very very small school (there were less than 30 people in my whole school); there were no footpaths anywhere near our place, or public transport. Actually, in the nearest town, public transport didn’t exist either. Welcome to the back of beyond. View Post

Plus size thrifting tips

Plus size thrifting tips // Meagan Kerr wears Domino Dollhouse Star Dress

Thrifting or second hand shopping as a plus size person can be difficult. I’ve been to stores that are rumoured to have a great plus size range only to find that it only goes up to a size 18, I’ve found many many dud outfits (think of the nana fat girl clothes from the 90’s) and I’ve had some real misses buying from online sellers. I do really like the idea of being able to onsell my clothes and be able to buy pre-loved clothing from others, in what seems to be such a throwaway culture, so I have persisted and over the years I have picked up a few thrifting tips that I thought I’d share with you.

As I’m sure you’re well aware, later this week I am going on my first ever solo trip overseas. While I’ve been making travel plans, I had a friend mention dress codes for flying, and it got me thinking about how we dress when we travel. View Post

Island Hopper

New Zealand plus size fashion blogger Meagan Kerr wears Hope & Harvest Island Hopper Dress in black

As you will have noticed, I wear a lot of black. It used to be that I wore black because there weren’t colourful options in plus size clothing, then I started wearing a colour as more and more choices became available. About a year ago I decided to reclaim my fashion voice and define my style, and that has meant going back to blacks, to neutrals, to stripes … back to basics. View Post
