Believe In Your‎ 'Because'! What are you Poshing For?

Hello! What brings you to Posh Comment with your 'because'? I am a long time online shopper. The plus size marketplace has always been dim & grim compared to the regular sized share of the marketplace. Catalog shopping was normal before the 'net kicked in. My tastes still run quirky for my 55+ years, so brands like Unique Vintage, Hell Bunny, & Irregular Choice catch my eye. I will search for true vintage, but it's not easy to find for my size body and feet - not because women were not wearing those sizes...they wore them OUT. While shopping and searching for stuff is a great love, I'm in the process of purging. I raise a breed of draft horse called Percheron, originating from Loire Valley/Normandy France, & I've traced my 28th Great Grandfather back to a town called Mortagne-au-Perche. I am purging my stuff to finance a long term stay in France to explore the origins of this breed as well as the history of my own being. It's hard to say what will be happening in the US in the coming months/years, but I'm not looking forward to it. Maybe a year in France will help me understand why my 28th GG's move was necessary, & what I can do to make the US a better place like he desired in the 1600s. I've am endeavoring to not buy new as much as possible. I'm not going to be a zealot about it, but am going to make & make do as my default. Doc Martens in a size 10.5 to 12 & antique quilts are my collecting sweet spots. Picture is my stallion, Dandy. A Percheron. My 'because'.
