This is more of a rant: I am finding it more and more difficult to find comfortable clothing, unless I shop from catalogs like LL Bean, or Vermont Country store. I basically live in either sweats, loose fitting jeans or cords, knit tops layered with flannel shirts or sweaters, and sports bras, cotton underwear and comfy socks. For the rare times I dress up, I like to wear long skirts with a top or a long dress that isn't tight fitting anyplace.
So we are planning to visit my aunt for Thanksgiving, and I am looking for something semi dressy to wear for the few hours we will be there. We have also been invited to a Christmas party at DH new job, and provided I am feeling well enough, I would like to attend that as well. But online shopping (which I rely heavily upon because of the low energy expenditure) yields mostly stuff that would appeal to very young and skinny women who live in a hot climate, because why else would you go around half dressed like that? I'm no prude, but the styles of today seem either downright ugly, or too revealing or made of very uncomfortable synthetic materials. It is very frustrating!
