New clothes that fit!!!

Yay, after realising the morning that I only have 2 pairs of winter trousers, both of which are starting to get tatty and the horror of finding M&S no longer do them, I ventured into Bangor. TK Maxx nothing in my size that was in anyway wearable, it was all size 8 or size 22. That was OK as I rarely find anything in there, so off to Matalan, nothing there either, everything either to short or fabric that made my teeth itch just looking at it, I started to despair and went to Next in desperation, fully expecting they'd have nothing either, as previously none of their stuff has fit properly, always to a bit to small somewhere. But, I found a pair of trousers that actually fit me and I'm a size smaller than I was last year, so I paid the extortionate price of £35 for them, they will do for best, otherwise known as going to tesco or the doctor, they're baggy. Everything's baggy this year, I don't really want baggy, it brings back memories of the 70's and walking around in baggy trousers in the rain having to hold my waitband up as the trousers absorbed all the water and made them so heavy. I'm guessing whoever designed them has never had the pleasure of trousers being wet up to the knees and sodden fabric flapping around thier legs.

I bought a jumper in New Look yesterday too!

  • All the young people in my life wear their trousers baggy. 
    I am a fan of Lucy & Yak, they are expensive but you can get some on Vinted for a great price. There are these trousers called Alexa and I think I have about 7 pairs in different colours, some patterned. When you find something that works it’s so frustrating when they fall apart. 

  • They're very bright and colourful, I don't think I could wear anything that bright.

    Low rise waists are the bane of my existance too and crop tops, most of the winter stuff I've seen lately are cropped heavy knit cardigans, they'd barely cover my nipples! Whats the point of having stuff like that if it dosen't cover you?

    I blame the Chinese for clothes being tight with tiny arm holes, another thing I see are womens tops where I can't tell which way up they go, there are two wide holes top and bottom with sleeves in the middle. It's one reason I'm very reluctant to buy clothes online, so many of the sites lie too, they describe something that sounds good, but when it arrives its totally not as described.

    When I look at a lot of clothes I wonder if the people who designed and made them have ever seen a human before?
