A Fat And Unemployed Girl's Inglorious Journey To Buy a Coat

Since there's been some misunderstanding regarding this post, I'd like to make clear that it's not me in any of these pictures. Read the post and you'll understand.:)
Devido a algumas confusões, gostava de esclarecer que eu não sou nenhuma destas meninas. Leiam o post, please!. :)

It's been freezing cold and I realized my "Portuguese weather" coats and jackets aren't cutting it anymore so I went out on the hunt to find the perfect jacket, warm and within my budget of €80.
As a plus-size aka fat girl I don't have a lot of options, cause only a few stores carry my size. So I left home heading to Dorothy Perkins, Marks&Spencer and Evans, always having in mind inspirational girls like one of my favorite bloggers Tanisha from Girl With Curves. (Isn't she gorgeous and amazingly stylish? Perfect, really!)
Tem estado um frio que nãos e aguenta e apercebi-me de que os meus casacos de clima português já não dão conta do recado, por isso saí em busca do casaco perfeito, quente, fechado até a cima e dentro do orçamento(€80).
Como rapariga gorda que sou não tinha grandes opções, porque há poucas lojas com o meu tamanho. Por isso fui em direcção à Dorothy Perkins, Marks&Spencer e Evans, tendo sempre como inspiração meninas como uma das minhas bloggers preferidas, a Tanisha do Girl With Curves. (Ela não é mesmo linda e cheia de estilo? Perfeita!)

Again this is NOT me, but Tanisha from Girl With Curves
Mais uma vez, esta NÃO sou eu, mas sim a Tanisha do Girl With Curves

Well, what a disappointment, Dorothy Perkins decided it was no longer winter, just holiday season. It was full of sequins and had no coats (except for fur coats that would make me look like a pregnant bear). Marks&Spencer had only really expensive or really ugly coats, except for a military style green coat that actually met my budget. but it wasn't warm enough and it was too open in the neckline.
Bem que desilusão. A Dorothy Perkins decidiu que não é Inverno, apenas época natalícia e só tinha lantejoulas. Agora casacos nada, tirando um ou dois de pêlo que me iam fazer parecer uma ursinha grávida.
A Marks&Spencer só tinha coisas caras ou horríveis, tirando um casaco verde de estilo militar que até estava dentro do orçamento, mas que era muito aberto à frente e não era quente o suficiente.

Two down, only one to go. Evans. I wasn't too hopeful cause I hadn't seen anything interesting online, but I still went. And boy did I fall hard for this coat. It was big and warm and beautiful. But way over my budget (€120). Then I remembered they were having a sale online, so I ran home to order it, only to see it was out of stock.
Duas já estavam, só faltava uma, a Evans. Não estava com muitas esperanças, porque não tinha visto nada de jeito no site, mas lá fui. E bolas como me apaixonei por este casaco. Era grande e quente e lindo! Mas muito acima do orçamento (€120). Foi aí que me lembrei que eles estavam a ter promoções online e fui a correr para casa para encomendar. Qual não foi o choque quando vi que estava fora de stock.


 Then I just cried and cried. Not having a job to buy yourself a basic coat is hitting rock bottom, isn't it?  I have a College degree, I speak a bunch of languages, have so many talents and then I'm not even good enough to be folding t-shirts at H&M. It's sad!
Fiquei para morrer e chorei, chorei. Não ter um mísero trabalho que dê para comprar um casaco é mesmo bater no fundo não é? A pessoa tem curso superior, fala uma carrada de línguas, tem tantos talentos e depois nem para dobrar t-shirts na H&M  serve. É triste!

Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm
looking to start my own blog soon but I'm having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
