Apparently, not me.
Let me be clear: I live in jeans. With occasional forays into trousers, rarely into dresses, and even more rarely into skirts.
But I am being thwarted in my search for a new pair of trousers.
I have a dressy-but-not-really black pair, a pseudo-suit black pair, and a pinstripe pair that match my suit jacket.
I wish for a pair of trousers in something other than black. I also wish them to fit, and I lastly wish them to be work-appropriate for my new job.
Even Marks and Spencer has let me down. Though they do have nice cardigans in this year.
They have blouses too, but I have a whole...2 of those, so I'm ok on the blouse front. I don't think I really need to wear them every day.
Speaking of blouses, what's up with the size inflation? My new Dorothy Perkins blouse is a size 6. What. Is. Up. With. That?
I have tops in Small, 6, 8, 10, and 12. I ask you.
I'd really like a consistent sizing system. Then I wouldn't have to guess so wildly about whether something's going to fit.
Pretty please?

I have trouble with trousers too, but mostly because they are too short for me.
I wear a lot of skirts because they generally don't look so ridiculous if the length isn't right, and I find them a bit easier to dress up or down.
When I Grow Up I will make all my own clothes out of fairtrade bamboo fibre that I spin and weave into cloth myself. In my Copious Spare Time. I'm sure I could run up some trousers for you at that point.
Until then, have you tried charity shops?
Charity shops around here seem to be donated to by short people.
Or people with bigger waists than me.
Still, I try. Moving will offer a greater range of charity shops, so I live in hope.
(Incidentally, When I Grow Up I will have a beautifully clean and tidy house. This is particularly pertinent as my room is upside down and half packed into boxes at the moment. Sigh.)

Ugh, I know what that's like.
I'm in the process of unpacking, having moved for the 17th time in 29 years. I'm hoping to be a little more settled here...
