I didn't really want to go shopping this morning. Mostly because I have avoided shopping over the last couple of years because I've been so unhappy with my body and shopping was no longer fun. But, I figured I needed to face reality and just go do it.
It's funny... even with my compression garment on and stuff mostly smoothed out, I STILL had trouble buying clothes. Things just didn't look right or hang right or whatever. *sigh* I did manage to come home with two pairs of pants and two shirts. I splurged and bought myself the most badass looking pair of athletic shoes I could find though. :) Loud crazy shoes make me happy. I also got a gift for a client that's been training with me for a year.
I am slowly remembering that weight has so little to do with shopping. Clothes are just not cut for people who have any sort of womanly curves whatsoever.

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time finding the right clothes.
I have to echo what others have said.

Aren't junior sizes typically odd while misses are even?
Thanks for your suggestions, K. I can fit into a 12 or a 14, depending on the manufacturer. I generally avoid junior stuff since I assume (perhaps mistakenly?) that they're pretty low-rise and my waist runs pretty high.
I will definitely check out the higher end stuff when I'm ready to get a little more. I needed some "right now" clothes and didn't want to spend too much money on them. Thank goodness for Target. :)

Oops, left off the entire thought of that sentence!
Please tell me you're kidding?
