ysabetwordsmithI went out thrift shopping today. In addition to clothes, which I was looking for, we also found a medium cooler, a cookbook, and a quilt rack. :D
Shopping for women's tops: out of a dozen or more items, only one fit. Most had sleeves too tight, seams in weird places, buttons that wouldn't close over my tits, hems that rode up if I raised my arms, etc. Fuck it, I'll go see if the men's section has clothes that are less dumb.
I found several tops and several pants in the men's section, including a leaf-camouflage shirt and purple velour pants. \o/ That also had a rack of uniform parts, which included practical pants with pockets I can fit my whole hand into. #pocketwin! So that was a really nice find.
I did go back to the women's section for sleepwear. While it's much harder to find flannel now, it is much easier to find wonderful soft stretchy velour. So I got a really nice set of pajamas and another top, both in velour, and a misfiled set of fall-colored plaid pants in a textured fabric definitely not meant for sleeping in. The whole range of sleepwear, loungewear, leisurewear, athleisure, athletic -- and this time a new term, soft wear -- is very good for fitting bodies that aren't standard shape and/or disdain weird fashion distortions.
I'll call that a success.
