Shopping at the moment

So it was my birthday last month and christmas this month (in case u hadnt noticed) therefore i have put aside some of my money to spend on much needed clothes shopping!
Ive been on 2 shopping trips and found virtually nothing!!
I want a warm coat, some knee high boots, jeans, skirt and jumpers.
All i could find was a few nice strappy tops
Is anyone else having trouble finding nice stuff at the moment?

Gap have lovely jeans for £14.99. So do TK Maxx.
Jeans shopping is a nightmare because i have long legs and wide hips, yet the bigger hip size drowns my bum.
Shopping for jumpers is difficult because i have really long arms and a long abdomen, and i want my jumpers to meet my trousers!
As for skirts same problem as jeans really....i need a size 12 to compensate for my hips but then its too baggy around my bum. Plus i can only find long skirts around and i want knee legnth
As for boots, i have big feet and boot makers assume that a big foot=a fat leg. My legs are thin!
Must be my own fault for having this shape!!
Me too, New Look's stretchy Hula jeans are a dream. And! Only £15.00 I got two pairs yesterday, pondering getting a 3rd! They do 28-36 leg, also.
think i tried them on actually a few weeks ago, are they the ones with the funky printed green writing on the inside at the back?
I have a problem with stretchy jeans actually, they seem to fall down all the time even if they fit properly. Its because the widest point if my hips is above where i wear my trousers.
bit of a freaky shape :thumb:
No, they all have red labels. The ones with the green labels aren't as stretchy as the other ones. Try the red labelled ones again, I have a right weird shape too, I have like, big hips, and a slim middle. Most jeans I try on gape at the back, or at the crotch, but fit everywhere else. Or I can't get them over my thighs. Gah.
i have the gapping at the crotch problem aswell!! Also reveal my crack to the world when i bend down due to my jeans always falling down, which is not attractive.
I'll try new look ones when im next in the city, cheers :thumb:
The Hula jeans at New Look are fab, must be made for awkard shapes as I have long legs, big hips but a flat bum!
im like that, most my goin out stuff is too dressy for clubbing, so i need to find some casual but smart stuff, but can i get what i want? of course not!
I'm really missing ASOS. ;(
Me too Roll on mid-January when they should be up and working again!
oddly, new look jeans are always on the small side for me. the 8s fit me perfectly, and the 10s fit in a kind of cool baggy way, whereas in most other shops the 6s are hanging off.
i can find lots of things i like, lately, until i try them on. then i look either like a 10-year old boy in a bad school panto, or a crazy old lady with a strangely young (but no less knackered) face. tis most annoying. i have taken to buying a lot of bags and shoes...
