Half Half
Whoopi Goldberg is one of Hollywood's rare plus size women. On an episode of The View, Whoopi openly and passionately rebutted critics of her fashion sense. She angrily invited at least one of them to kiss her um...let's say behind. One critic in particular, Stacey London, style guru from What Not to Wear, had complained about Whoopi's oversized ensembles stating that they made it "hard to take her seriously." Whoopi responded by saying "You don't judge me by what I wear. You judge me by what I say!" While I understand Whoopi's sentiments, I find them if nothing else, unrealistic.
Yes, it might be nice if people actually did judge others by what they say instead of what they wear. It'd be better if we didn't judge each other that way at all. Unfortunately, that's not how things work. It's just not the world we live in. Whether we like it or not, we are visual creatures. So, we respond to what looks good. It may not be fair, but it happens.
You are constantly making impressions on others. Before you open your mouth, your clothes speak for you. They provide clues to who you are. They send signals about your job, your hobbies, your socioeconomic status, and your personality. So, why not make all that work to your advantage?
Whoopi also accused her critics of trying to make her "look like everyone else on the street." Now, I can agree with that. Personal style is just that, personal. There's no need for us all to look alike. Whoopi clearly has a style all her own. I can't see her decked out in the suits and heels that were suggested for her. She always looks so uncomfortable in clothes like that, for example, that horrible gown she wore to the 2009 Oscars. Stacey London is at least partly right too. Those oversized clothes don't flatter Whoopi's plus size frame. Whoopi can easily make her style work for her by wearing clothes that fit, updating the style and wash of denim pieces, and wearing supportive bras that lift and separate.
The bottom line is that what you wear matters. We all know the cliché about first impressions, but it couldn't have become one if there wasn't some truth to it. Fit should be every plus size woman's first priority regardless of her personal style.
