Who hates shopping?

I have a page of rant about shopping. Long story short: I HATE it.

Somewhat longer: clothes have never, ever fit to my satisfaction. When I was younger and (much) skinnier, my freakishly long arms and legs were the problem. Now, not only can I not get anything to fit my backside, but anything made to fit me is ugly. OK, clothing makers, take a memo {Ahem} Just because I'm fat does not, repeat, NOT mean I have no sense of style.

(takes deep breath) I think I'd better stop now...

I generally enjoy shopping, however one of the things I most hate about shopping is the inconsistent sizing. You try on a different size in every different brand, and then there are the designer brands who make EVERYTHING in small sizes... so one of their size 14s (if they make it ) is equivalent to another brand's size 10 ! Sizes seem to be getting smaller rather than larger here in Oz. I still can't ever find dresses that fit me properly, there's about a size difference between my top and bottom halves.

Yay, shopping! Ugh, shopping! It's love/hate for me. I love finding cute stuff.

I have recently accepted the fact that I need to buy dress pants to fit at the waist, hem be damned. That's what alterations are for, 'cause I'm Shorty McShorterson. It still takes a hundred years to try on everything in all their non-standard sizes.

Also, why in the *$)# doesn't The Express have online shopping? Their Editor pants are really the best thing I've found to fit me, and I'd pick up a pair a month if I didn't have to go to the stupid mall. Stupid, stupid mall, with its parking and its teenagers.

Anyways, most of my shopping happens at the bike shop, the REI, the tri shop, etc., lately. That's much more fun.

I have been wondering this for ages because I LOVE the Editor pant too...
