The Forgotten Ones

My biggest gripe when buying clothes is the fact that store buyers cater only for the young fashion junkies! What about us older ladies who don't want to wear 'hipster' pants or tight fitting things that look like they are 3 sizes too small? We value our comfort at this time of life and don't need to be slaves to (often ridiculous) fashion. I am tired of being ignored when it comes to everyday clothing at the 'affordable' stores. (K-Mart, Target, Big W etc.)

I solved my fashion problems by going to all the different op shops here in Perth. Not only do we have some great designer boutiques but also some very good 2nd hand clothing shops. I stick with the basic blacks and browns for skirts, pants and jackets and I compliment them beautifully with heaps of bright colours for my t-shirts, shirts and tops. It doesn't cost me a fortune and I can always find something to fit. Because it has all been worn and washed before, I at least know that any jeans I buy won't shrink or fit differently once they been washed.
