Alright guys, here we go with another episode of Just How Life Goes, and your girl was on a…read moremission! With not one but TWO conferences coming up, I needed some new pieces to help me show up looking and feeling my best. So after seeing them on TikTok, I decided to check out Curv Exchange and see what all the hype was about. Let me tell y'all... they did not disappoint. As a plus-size shopper, finding stylish options that actually fit well can be a challenge. But I walked out with four shirts, some sunglasses, and even picked up a gift for someone else. The selection was great, the prices were reasonable, and the customer service was AMAZING. A huge thank you to the team at Curv Exchange on North Dale Mabry. From helping me find pieces for my upcoming conferences to making me feel welcome from the moment I walked in, the experience was top-tier. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely wanted to help me find what worked best for me. Y'all know I love supporting businesses that create an inclusive shopping experience, and this one definitely delivered. Now your girl is conference-ready and feeling confident. Google review and Yelp review coming soon because great customer service deserves recognition! It's Just How Life Goes.

I had a ball to go and wanted a floor length flowy dress. My mom suggested Curv Exchange after…read morehearing some of her friends rage about it. In typical fashion, I waited last minute--I'm talking, 5:45 PM on the eve of the ball and the store was getting ready to close at 6. I really hated to be one of those ones but the girls there Gracie and Jesstalyn were absolutely accommodating the entire time. I skimmed through the racks tried on a couple of good ones that were gorgeous but weren't the right fit. I then asked if I can try the one off the mannequin and...it fit like a glove! I literally felt like Pretty Woman, hold the pimpin. The dress was gorgeous; I paired it with silver and had a ball at the ball! I DEFINITELY recommend Curv Exchange. AND I got $5, there's a rewards program, a men's plus section and a maternity store.

If you're a bigger woman, you know the plight of finding clothes that are stylish and inexpensive. Often you get bored with your wardrobe. Thats why Curv is so important. The concept is simple, You take your recent, decent clothes up for exchange, They take what they want and give you 1/2 the cost they'd sell the clothes for in store credit, so that you can shop there. It's a FANTASTIC thing. Now you don't have to do that, you can just buy the things out right. I found some amazing things for my trip, and I know that I need to do a closet purge, so I'll be happy to trade out my old stuff for some newer stuff soon! Trade days are Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. The store credit can only be used at the store its issued at. Be careful and don't re-buy your own clothes.

I do like all of the bright colors for their spring collection. I think this is about the 1st time I have ever set foot in this store. Their XS sweaters are still too baggy.

Nevermind that it was a crocheted, baggy cut and ended up being even more unflattering on me as it stretched out over time. I resent the fact that she shamed me into purchasing something that I can't use. If you read Yelp: don't do this anymore, you condescending ninny! Otherwise, you don't deserve my business! It's not my fault that Talbots cuts things too large--you should give each customer what's best for her, not hoard things for yourself or for other imaginary customers who are your size. You all could probably shop in the children's section anyway!
