I love how the adaptive fashion market is starting to expand! I don't always need an adaptive version of something, but there are times that it makes it a lot easier for me, and a jean jacket is one of those times. Which is why I was so excited to find this adaptive jean jacket from Target's Universal Thread line!

It is no secret that I love to shop. I feel like I am constantly browsing, adding things to my wishlist or to my cart (though not always following through and checking out). But sometimes, as a disabled woman, it doesn't always feel like shopping loves me back! It can be a struggle - not only the physical process of shopping, but finding things in my size that work for my body, too. So today I'm going to talk a little bit about being disabled while shopping.

It's mostly because a lot of the adaptive style products are either kids sizes, and while I can fit them, they look incredibly young, or they are adult sized but even the XS they offer is way too big on me. Adaptive products - especially clothes or shoes - tend to be more expensive, and don't have the wide size ranges that typical retailers do (because the products are more expensive to make and the profit margin is smaller). But! I recently found a brand of actually adaptive shoes that I love - BILLY Footwear!
