The Budget Fashionista linked to an entry on Dollymix about street fashion blogs (blogs that specialize in photos of what regular folks are wearing) and how they ignore anyone with a double-digit size (given the entry refers to UK sizes, this means anyone above a size 6 U.S.).

Personally, I have marginal to no interest in these types of sites because not only do they not feature anyone remotely close to how I look physically, but also because they don't seem to feature anyone of legal drinking age either. Sure, the wacky London streetwear or Harajuku girls are fun to look at, but at my age, I'd look ridiculous in full gothic lolita regalia and I haven't been to clubs in a loooong time.
But the entry makes a fair point. It seems like the amateur photogs don't have an eye for curvier, plumper figures so they just ignore them. Think of how helpful it would be for a broad-shouldered gal to see how someone like herself can pull off an outfit. Or someone who's bosomy or has more trunk space, so to speak. I think the only street fashion sites with a variety of body types are the hip-hop ones.
Perhaps the solution are streetwear blogs featuring full figures or career wear or women over 50.
