Queer fat femme. Fat fashion bargain hunting. Living in Chicago.

I’m Amanda - a 5’9” approximately size 18 queer person in my early 30s living in the midwest. I started this blog so I could chronicle my efforts to find cute affordable plus size looks. I’ve been involved with the fat online community for many years - including starting the “Inbetweenies” community on LiveJournal many years ago. I’m personally no longer an “inbetweenie” myself - but do love the fat blogger community as a whole.
I love to support small businesses and specifically queer businesses/bloggers.
My etsy shop is InTheThickOfIt, where I feature handmade and vintage plus size items, along with my digital art.
