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.)

Kmart and Target might be affordable in the short term but you would be better buying less frequently from more quality stores such as Sportscraft, Diana Ferrari and Motto. I have bought little in the way of winter clothes this year because I purchased classic items from these stores in the past. I just top up with a few key pieces and save money. Buy new accessories to brighten an outfit and that way you are not dating your look. Spend a little (extra) to save a lot (in the long term)
