LtS, LOL!

My biggest frustration shopping for clothes these days is that more and more retail outlets stock only over-priced clothing made and designed, very poorly, in China. I've always liked hip-hugging flares, and I do look ok in them, but I ask you - why put those stupid-looking useless tiny pockets/flaps/stitching/studs all over the butt of people's jeans?

Is it because most Chinese people don't have much butt to begin with, so they want to accent what they do have?

All I can say is that even though I wear a size 7/8 these days (what used to be called a size 9/10 or even 11/12 when I was a teen - why IS that????) the poor designs make my butt look HUGE.

Or at least I think so!

So I try to find stuff made in Canada. More pricey, but much more intelligently designed, with better quality materials and workmanship as well.

On the upside, I'm spending a lot less on clothes these days. It's getting harder and harder to find anything made in Canada, even from traditionally Canadian retailers - thanks to China, Walmart, 'free trade' etc etc etc. So I've learned to make do with less.
