Right, so, this only really applies to two people... Maybe three.
Camden trip next Saturday. I really need new clothes now that I have to wear the hideousness that is the purple/black/glitter/crepe monstrosity and for another reason*. I was thinking Midday at Camden Town tube, although that might be a busy and therefore silly place to meet. As it happens I can't think of anywhere likely to be less busy, since it's a Saturday and it's a shopping area, and a tourist trap as well, so I imagine we'll get the 'too busy' problem no matter where we decide to meet. I suppose we could meet at the edge of the market proper - where the big green sign that says 'The Camden Market' ends. Suggestions welcomed.
*The other reason is far more complicated and whiny. Mainly because I was looking at that dress from yesterday's entry and pondering spending money, when I realised I hadn't checked size availability, and they only go down to an XS. Now, you're all screaming at your computers saying, 'are you saying that XS isn't small enough, you skinny witch?' But just hear me out. Their XS equates to a size 8, or so they say, but having checked their measurements, and knowing that the material is undeniably stretchy I'd say that that dress would probably also fit a size 10. Leaving me swimming in an XS. They do go down to XXS in some of their clothes, but not that dress. Therefore I am not only left with disappointment but the suggestion that, once again, I am not the right size. Alright, you can start singing It Sucks To Be Me right now because it does rather sound as if I'm complaining about my diamond shoes being too tight, but seriously, I've noticed a lot recently that the lower end of the scale on clothing shops just don't go low enough. I'm not that short really given that average female height in Britain is... 5'3'' and a bit, and I'm 5'3'' (er, just). I guess I have a condition that should be referred to as being small-boned. It just bugs me that I have to view buying clothes with a 'will I be able to alter this' rather than a 'that will suit me' sort of way. I hope that maybe going to Camden will provide me a little bit of hope, since that's where I got my corset backed tail coat from, and that fits me pretty much perfectly, although it is adjustable - corset back you see! I really must wear that somewhere. Of course I need an event to wear it to at which I don't have to be able breathe deeply (it's quite tight when properly done up). Maybe I'll wear it on Saturday.
*sigh* I guess that was just yet another 'I don't fit in' rant. Just in a slightly more literal sense.
