I was reminded today why I hate clothes shopping so much. I avoid it whenever possible. I can't avoid it any longer. I'm going to visit Mum at the end of the month and I need a couple pairs of trousers (or capris) and a few tee shirts. I tried on two pairs of capris today. I'm a little fluffy (especially on the bottom end) so I shop at the beginning sizes of the plus sizes as they tend to have more room in the bum area. However I never seem to be a full size. I tried on two pairs of capris. One a size smaller and then the next size up. Neither fit. Surely there can't be that much difference between sizes? The smaller one was too tight and the next size up was so big I looked like a clown! Perhaps it's just that brand? Ug. I hate it. I'm quite tall too so any shirt I get tends to be too short. If I raise my arms I flash my belly and nobody wants to see that! Sigh.
That's my moan for the day.
On a good note I am all caught up on my 100 Days of All About Me book. I'm so glad to be up-to-date. I was so sure I'd never catch up! Just a couple pages posted below.
I have also made a few quick cards. I haven't really had my mojo lately so I've just been playing and see where it takes me. My favourite is the girl with the sunflowers. I love that stamp and just colouring the sunflowers seems to work.
Hope everyone has a good Tuesday! Thanks for all the lovely comments. I do read them and appreciate them. Also if anyone has a blog they'd like to share please let me know. I'm looking for new ones to read. I seem to have become a creature of habit and read the same (wonderful!) blogs.
Like books and reading there are so many blogs and so little time!
ReplyDeleteI Hate clothes shopping too. Things that go round my bum are usually too huge around the waist.
That's the problem I have!
DeleteI hate clothes shopping. I recently trawled round the shops for trousers and shoes. Whatever I liked didn't fit. I'm also horrified by how much things cost now although I did end up buying expensive shoes as they were the only ones that were comfortable and had 20% off. Hopefully they will last. How can people use this as a form of therapy?
ReplyDeleteI don't find it fun at all! I can't understand how people do, but on the other hand they can't understand why I enjoy looking in bookshops lol
DeleteI really have to be in the mood to clothes shop. When I couldn't find a properly fitting pair of pants after I lost weight, I just wore my skirts, instead! Maybe that's an option for you, too?
ReplyDeleteI always feel too hip-heavy to wear skirts. My sister on the other hand never wears anything else. I think designers make the mistake of thinking all women are designed with the same shape and we're just not. I can't be the only one who feels this way!
