Did you ever find something really cute to wear but it was too big or too small?
It is a frustration that has happened to me a few times.

I get over this disappointment by reminding myself that over the years I managed to get a nice wardrobe.  Enough really is enough.

With all this online information though sometimes I could find in stock what I wanted at another store location.

Heck, yes.  All the really cute stuff is way to small.  I save a ton of money that way.  I already have a lot of nice clothes.

Oh my, yes.
A few months ago, I was shopping on Amazon. I have found some nice boots, jeans, and such and wanted some nice sweaters. I find these adorable things and I can't resist. The price was right, so I bought three: one each of pink, brown, and black.

They arrived with each one wrapped in cellophane that was covered in Chinese writing. I take the first one out and I don't even have to try it on. Small is an understatement. I checked the tag. I ordered XL and the tag confirmed it is XL. I think the Chinese Translation is "Extra Little"! I have a neighbor with a 9-year-old daughter, so I gave them to her. They fit perfectly! And they still look adorable on her.

I have learned that I really have to carefully check the actual size chart, convert cm to inches, and then puzzle over how XXL means a 40" bust. What? I'm 46" and don't qualify for XXL. [sigh]

All the time, usually dresses that look horrid on me but look sooo cute. I never buy on line and always where possible try it on.

Oh yes, all the time.  I usually buy off the clearance racks or at goodwill.  So that limits returning for a different size.

I bring a small retractable cloth tape measure which helps a lot. Unless I ignore it when something is real cute, and that usually doesn't work out well.

Some clothing that I like I realize it would look much better on a hourglass figure. 
I do not mean a size 4, I mean nicely proportional.

So I sigh and look for the next eye catching garment.

I have one dress that I bought that I have never worn, but it has potential if I lost weight. I almost got there before Christmas but put the weight back on again. Will try to lose weight again when my mind is into it, at the moment I need comfort food lol

THIS! I am a sucker for a donut. Or two. Or three. Can't let them get stale. Nom nom nom.
Hi. I'm Lori. I am a Donutaholic.

The most frustrating item for me is footwear. It seems most companies don't make 'cute' footwear larger than a size 11 -- I need size 13. The only place I know that regularly carries women's size 13 footwear in Nordstrom Rack.

I remember routinely buying snacks at a Payless store. 
At the very front of the store they had shoes and snacks!
It was only until I visited sites like this that I realized why the shoe department was located there!

Got a delivery this weekend.  The new shorts are fitting well but the top is so clingy I  think I will return it for the next size up.  I suppose I could wear this around the house but it leaves nothing to the imagination in terms of what my figure is above my navel.
