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'm sorry, I realised where you thought I was referring to your children.

"I let my elders choose clothes for me too and I have no qualms with older ladies shopping for clothing in "trendy" seasonal stores so long as they are shopping for their children or choosing pieces that actually suit them or they feel happy to wear and not unhappily trying to conform to the current trends."

This is what this sentence was meant to mean.
Point 1: I don't mind the elderly shopping in "trendy teen stores" for their children
Point 2: I don't mind elderly shopping in those stores for "themselves" so long as they choose items that they like and feel comfortable wearing and aren't just wearing it because they are "in" for teens/young adults.

I was not directing this at you specifically in the way you thought I did. I'm sorry you took it as a personally and I apologise for the confusion.
