Good enough for what?.

I guess good enough so people don't think I'm a hobo.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl but my daughter HATES it. Of course, my t-shirts are geek fests or Harley and I think thats what she takes offense to the most. I went out with her the other day wearing my Thor t-shirt and my Bethesda jacket and it was a non-stop bitch fest about my clothes. So she takes me into the JUNIORS section and starts picking stuff out for me. Ok....those clothes are geared towards 16-25 yr old women. I mean you can push it to 30 but after that you need to start supplementing your wardrobe with more age appropriate stuff thats hiding some of the flaws age gives you! And past 40...you should be walking past that department going "I remember those days.../sigh" but NOT shopping in it! I realize I have to buy SOME of my jeans there sometimes because I absolutely REFUSE to wear that GARBAGE they call jeans in the Misses section! But I'm very choosey and none of them are those hip hugging style jeans and you wouldn't know I got them in the Juniors section. But belly showing shirts or shirts so short they show that I've given birth to 2 kids and have that belly lump to prove it.....NO THANKS! But then again its my daughter and she dresses like white trash most of the time with her belly flopping out of the bottom of her shirts and wears jeans 3 sizes too small so that the waist band is under her belly. (She bent over the other day and ripped out her jeans....then her shirt was too short to hide the fact so when she took her kids to eat at Pizza Hut she just told the oldest one to walk behind her...WHY LORD WHY!!?)

My peeve....my daughter...clothing choices in the Misses dept.....my daughter....

Just make do for now, and when you return to the US buy quality clothing in the size you are

Well the thing is, most of my shirts were already too large for me. I was like a 2X, and I wore 4X, and now those are just silly. I put on a Chinese 2X the other day, which is probably around a large by American norms.

I'm planning to be here another 10 months, so just making do isn't really an option. I mean I have pants which literally have to be bunched up in order to stay on, and that's just not very good. And it's not like all clothes here are the $170 of badass pants I actually kinda want, there's some fairly cheap stuff out there. Most of my clothes as is are from Goodwill and a small amount of Salvation Army, so yeah.

I had a pair of $170 badass pants before... Then I decided to run on some wet grass.

Never again.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I'd never spend anything over $40 on a piece of clothing. I think its just silly and a waste of money to do so. You see two pair of jeans sitting next to each other, one $100, and the other $35. Both are the exact same thing, both look alike each other, and both wear the same. I'd rather get the cheaper one...

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

But the $100 one is $100. You can like... tell people. That'd show them! >:O

But... Its a waste of money! You'd have $65 extra to spend on something else like... Another pair!?

Build quality for jeans is actually really important. Long lasting jeans > cheapo jeans.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I'm still wearing my pregnancy jeans. Jeans that are comfortable as hell and don't have a zipper? Fuck yes.

That doesn't really make much sense. There's plenty of perfectly good clothing here, and interesting looking shops. I just need to find stuff I like. Besides, most of my clothes I kept back home aren't a ton bigger, except for some Ls and XLs I've been holding onto since forever (My FFFF06 shirts? Some of the newest in there) in hopes of wearing them comfortably someday. But those are mostly really geeky shirts I'd be embarrassed to be seen in here anyway.

And when I say badass pants, I mean badass pants. They are not something you'd mistake for a pair of $20 jeans; if they were I'd save the cash and use it at used clothing stores. They have embroidered designs on them which very much explain the cost. Also the tags say "THE COPY MAKERS WILL BE KILLED", so I don't want to involve myself with counterfeits.

Not really true. Like, at all. I mean, it's not a universal rule, but generally, more expensive clothing is constructed better. I could show you the difference if we were like, in person, and I had an example in front of me. I used to do it all the time when training people at Banana Republic (which is pretty low-end in the big scheme of things). I would take a shirt and jeans and khakis from our store and some from other retailers and turn them inside out to show how they were stitched, what materials were used, and show the difference in fit in the same sizes. HUGE difference.

I was shopping for a new coat the other day. Looked at a leather jacket at the Gap, Banana Republic, Macy's and Saks Fifth Avenue. The difference in quality and construction was incredibly noticeable. I just didn't have $700 to drop on the one at Saks, even though it felt incredibly light and smooth and soft, and fit me like a GD glove.

THAT SAID, there is no reason why you have to pay retail for high-end clothing like that. Outlets, the internet, and consignment shops are great ways to get amazing deals on clothing that you couldn't otherwise afford. I almost never pay full price.

Murphie, when I get a little bit of spending money, how would you like to be my personal shopper?
