Clothes Shopping

25 November 2017

Hi and Welcome to Kylie's life

Yesterday I went clothes shopping - I needed to buy office attire as I don't have any, well it wasn't the easiest experience and I remembered why I hate clothes shopping.  Now I am not average height ( thats the first problem), second I am now classed as a average size ( 16) now with that being said every size 16 isn't cut as a 16 and some are bigger some are smaller.  So after many hours of wandering around the shops and with a pounding head-ache I came home.  Yes I did find some clothes and I also got some shoes.......shhhh hubby doesn't know about that as I didn't show those bags.

 But I have to say the shop that I thought would have the most work wear didn't, the store that I thought would have heaps of good sales didn't and the clothes that I did get have made me want to join a gym so that I can fit into the mould that has been pushed by fashion designers and the clothing buyers for the stores.
 I now understand why many people shop on the internet - so they don't have to go to the shops and try and fit into clothes that are made for ladies who are tall and slim. I would like to see the designers take models of many sizes and body shapes  into account when they put a collection together, but then if that was done they would loose money and would go out of business.  I guess that is why I have started wearing more and more rockabilly dresses - there are some companies who dresses specifically for us plus size girls.

So on Monday I start my full time job, this will be my first ever full time job - unless you count staying home and looking after the kids.  Now I am excited but I am also terrified, I am terrified because it is unknown, I am going to be taken out of my comfort zone and I am going to have to let the reigns ( on the kids) go and trust them to get themselves sorted. Now being that my 2 can't remember to brush their teeth in the morning ( I have to remind them) I think that I have cause for worry.

So on my last weekend as a lady of leisure I am getting all of the laundry done and trying to have some time off - its not working. Yes I am getting the laundry done, but time off I guess I am never really off duty.  So as I type this I remember that I have washing in the machine that needs to be pegged out and school uniforms to wash.

I will try and post during the week but please be patient if I don't - the weekend is looking very good for posting.
