Confession of a Non-Shopaholic

I don't like shopping for clothes. Although I'm much better about understanding how to dress my body, I find myself often disappointed at my selection and walk away sad. Part of my issue is that I've been shopping in Lane Bryant for ages - this is a good thing because their pants/jeans fit me very well. This is a bad thing because their tops are

Confession from this shopaholic:
Can't I get all my clothes in one place?
Yes, the internet! But you will spend oodles of time making returns. And the UPS man will recognize you when you see him in a completely different part of town, which is a little embarrassing.

Sounds like you ended up doing pretty well. I usually only get like 1 out of every 6 or 8 things I try on, especially pants.

I feel your shopping pain. I have very few stores where I can find clothes (and shoes) that fit. Often, I'm left with only shoddy products to pick from, which is very demoralizing.

My biggest problem are my arms and legs. They are very long, in proportion to my body. So, while normal clothes fit my body, my sleeves and pant legs are always too short. If I buy pant legs that are long enough, I end up with the waistband rucked up under my boobs. And the shoe thing nearly reduces me to tears.

You and I need to go shopping.
