Part 23
Constance marveled at the scenery around her as the two friends walked to the mall. A few months ago, she would feel entirely out of place in this neighborhood. But now, she was in the trashiest part of town, fitting right in with the people around her.
Wherever she looked, she found other women with cheap blonde dye jobs, their faces full of makeup and long fake nails on their fingers. Even though many had some extra pounds on them, Constance was pleased to see she was amongst the heaviest. It filled her with pride to look down on her wobbly body and see all the signs of a tacky, uneducated woman in herself.
Her boring and plain outfit was the only thing left that set her apart from the women around her. Constance was thrilled to get rid of it and make her last step to fitting into Kendra’s neighborhood. Though her plans were not to just fit in. She wanted to dress as overexaggerated as possible and stand out wherever she went.
She felt slightly dizzy as she took a big step toward her goal: to look ridiculous enough to be looked down on by everyone in the trashiest part of town.

The smell of grease from the food court lingered throughout the mall. Half of the stores had closed down, but the remaining ones delighted Constance. No matter where she looked, she couldn’t spot even one piece of clothing that she considered classy or decent. There were a few barely tolerable ones, but most consisted of tacky designs.
Constance felt a tingle run down her spine. She was ready to shop in the tackiest categories she could find.
“Ready for your makeover? If you want to go with hot pink, you need some tracksuits first! Let’s go!” Kendra took Constance’s hand and dragged her to the first store.
They found a rack filled with tracksuits, and Kendra grabbed the first pink one she found.
“This one could actually be your size. Why don’t you try it on?”
“Ok, but shouldn’t I also get something to wear underneath?”
“Your bra is enough! You’ve got great tits. Flaunt them!” Kendra pushed Constance toward the changing booth and put the tracksuit inside. “Let me know when you’ve changed.”
Once she closed the booth, Constance looked closer at the tracksuit. It had the perfect hot pink that she wished for. The pants had the word “WIDE” written in white letters on their backside, which added a nice tacky touch that Constance loved.
She changed into the suit, finding it to be just the right size. Looking down at herself and seeing the cheap, pink fabric on her body felt thrilling. Constance took a look in the mirror and felt her heart flutter. It was all she had dreamed of. The tracksuit was the final piece that made her look like she had lived in the neighborhood her whole life. She opened the jacket’s zipper as far as possible without revealing her bra. It felt right to show off her cleavage like this, even though she used to be strict about covering herself up properly in the past.
Constance couldn’t help but smile when she looked into the mirror again. She looked trashy and uneducated but felt so sexy and confident. It was like she was meeting the real her for the first time. A girl that fit right in with high school dropouts and lowlifes. That had no passion in life but to get day drunk and show off her tits. A girl that wore attention-grabbing outfits to look even trashier than everyone else.
She admired herself more until she had an idea to improve her style.
“Can you see if they have this suit in a smaller size?” she asked as she stepped out of the booth.
Kendra looked surprised and like she was about to tell Constance how well this size fit her. But then Constance saw a devious glimmer in Kendra’s eyes that made her heart flutter as Kendra went looking for a smaller size.
It was more work to squeeze into the smaller size, but the results were just what Constance had hoped. The pants were so tight that they showed off the cellulite on her thighs and ass, while the waistband dug deep into her waist, creating a prominent muffin top. The jacket was barely big enough to cover her bloated torso. It rode up, exposing her flabby back, sides, or belly whenever Constance moved the wrong way. The sleeves around her flabby arms were tight, making them stand out prominently.
Constance’s smile grew wider. Dressing like she was in denial about her most recent weight gain added the perfect touch to her style. She looked ridiculous and wouldn’t want to have it any other way.
As she reached up to open the curtain, Constance deliberately let her jacket ride up her back. Then she faced Kendra, who looked satisfied as she scanned her up and down.
“I love this so much!” Constance exclaimed excitedly, “Let’s find more in this size!”
