Hi,
Me again, with another topic to see whether I am alone in this or not.
I've always had trouble with finding clothes and shoes. Not only because I have a difficult body shape and painful feet, but also because most clothes + textiles and shoes annoy the hell out of me. This has gotten worse over the years, and I believe fibro is not helping it either. Does anyone else feel the same way?
I can't stand to feel restricted by clothes, my skin starts to crawl, so I always buy clothing that is 3 times my actual size (including underwear) I also cannot stand many materials - anything that is not soft and smooth is out of the question. And I hate trousers/jeans/skirts that have zippers and buttons. Elastic waistbands are my only option. (and what a nightmare it is to find fashionable clothes!)
The years I worked, it was very hard for me to find comfortable office clothing. Now that I am home, it is sweatpants and sneakers all the way!
Sad thing is that I love fashion, I love design. I go into stores, love looking at new collections and latest trends, but cannot take part in it. I can't even buy the latest sports clothing - they are all so tight and the materials so fake. With so much going against me, it is yet another 'loss' I have to accept.
