As a larger girl I will say that I have been tempted to wear smaller sizes, however, I am very self-conscious of my body and definately would not wear anything that would make me look ridiculous. I would love to wear lots of the trendy outfits that smaller girls wear but I would look silly and I try to buy things that are pretty average since I dont want to be seen wearing something that may be out of style too fast. I find that there are alternatives to certain looks and nowadays you can find almost every type of clothing for sale in many different sizes.

I also think that someone people wear smaller clothes cause they dont mind what they look like and are not as self conscious as others peoples may be. What I think it comes down to loving your body no matter what size you are or at least being able to live with it or change it.
