Frustrated shopper

If you've read my other post, it's obvious why today is a somewhat zoned out day for me at work...and it's also freezing (ok, not freezing, but considering I haven't dug out any of my winter scarves/coats/sweaters it was this morning), so I'm browsing winter coats and came across one from Sarah Jessica Parker's new line.

Ugh, shopping is such a nightmare all the time. I'm a "normal" size. I'm 5'4" and about 120 lbs.
AJ, enjoying life with C.
I'm only recently able to afford the designer brands, but I still love bargain shopping. :) However, I think that if I can find perfect fitting clothes that happen to be more expensive, I will invest in them :) I'm that way with shoes, too, with more emphasis on perfect. :)
"One season I'm a 2 the next season I'm a 4 and then back to a 2. Its become so crazy trying on clothes I thought I had some sort of disease making me gain and lose weight every few months, I was convinced the scale was broken!"
Oh my gosh :/ That sucks... Yeah, that would freak me out, too.
I hadn't noticed seasonal changes, but I don't have credit there, I haven't shopped during all seasons this year.
The clothing industry should regulate sizes, and all agree on a universal sizing system.
Hi,
Thanks so much for such a good discussion. I have been having lots of problems finding clothes that fit me and my budget. I am 5 feet 5 inches and 100 lbs. I have tried Charlotte Russ and I was able to find good fitting jeans. One more place I highly recommend is New york and company. I like there quality and the style. I usually shop for workplace clothes there. Plus they have a 30% coupon usable on clearance also floating on the net always.
Oh, ladies - the tales we could tell. I'm 5'3" and 140 - which might seem heavy, but I'm pretty muscular (swimming, ballet). I hate that a lot of petite clothing assumes that I'm shaped like a 12 year old.
I've had good luck at Banana Republic Petite. I also love, love, love my Lucky jeans - I wear the 'Easy Rider' style but they have a bunch of styles and three different inseam lenghts.
