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 18 and I hate half of the trends that come through all of the stores. That period where all you could buy was fluro ... gosh i just went without shopping!

And as for clothing sizes ... I bought two dresses from the same brand, from the same line. Both are meant to be tight fitting. I had to get a size ten in one of the dresses, and a size six in the other! How in the world is this even possible? There needs to be a sizing standard, if only to make finding the right fit easier.
