Shopping

Mission - buy trousers that fit AND look good.
Time allowed - eternity.

Quite frankly, from my own experience, even that may not be long enough.

I tried on ten pairs! All of them were too long, even the supposedly 'petite' ones. Sigh.

Huh. for some reason I've been very wary of buying trousers at all recently - partly because my job is jeans and t-shirts (all the girls look smarter in summer due to wearing skirts and dresses) and the whole never being sure precisely what my size is right now.

That's the hard part - you have to calibrate your size for every different shop too, and mine at the moment could range from anything from 12-16 depending on which place I go. Which is madness.

Ugh, have been putting off buying new trousers for a long time now, but if I don't want to be too cold this winter and avoid having to wash every two days or so, I think I'll have to go for that same mission... Maybe next week...

Good luck! Show pics when mission is completed successfully :D

Good luck. My mission is as yet unsuccessful. Maybe next time...

I went to the shop yesterday... and didn't feel up to the task so bought new clothes for Alby instead :P Much more fun and much easier :P

Good luck! Be strong!

Which is why I end up buying skirts that hide a multitude of sins. *sadface*

Good luck and god speed!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Oh, skirts. They are so much easier.

Thank you! Mission is in progress!

This is why, I'm convinced, I don't own any two pairs from the same label. Cuts, fits, and brands vary so widely that it's only guaranteed that one from any given place will work out - if at all. I salute you in your quest!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's a tough one and, after ten badly fitting pairs of trousers, still unfulfilled.

I just tried that very same mission yesterday and failed miserably. I prefer shopping for shoes.

Good luck!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

I'm going to need it, thanks. I spent about three hours yesterday and no success. *cries*

[cicer.livejournal.com]

The eternal quest! *quails in fear* I own about a dozen pairs of pants, and I don't think I have a single one that really and truly fits properly and looks good. *sighs* Eternity, indeed. Good luck!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

This is why you own a dozen pairs-- you're always seeking out the perfect pair, which probably doesn't exist.

Le sigh. I didn't find any yesterday. :(
