skin woes and shopping
Nov. 24th, 2007 11:40 pmI need new winter clothes, like yesterday. It is getting colder and the only stuff that I have that fits are my thin, cotton 3/4 sleeve shirts from last spring and two sweaters that somehow got saved from probably 8-10 years ago. I managed to find one new sweater yesterday and hit Old Navy today with the delusional hope that I would find something.
No dice.
Just about every damned sweater in that store had wool in it. My skin hates wool. I put it on and IT FEELS LIKE BURNING!!! It doesn't matter if it is 2% wool or 100% wool I instantly react. I tried today out of desperation and couldn't leave a wool-containing shirt on for more than a nano-second. The few non-wool items I tried on sucked as did the pants (no, really, I don't need jeans with a rise so low that the pockets are underneath my butt cheeks).
Urgh.
I don't enjoy shopping for clothes all that much and it is really hard to find time with S. I can grab and hour here and there but that is not enough to do serious "I need to seriously buy some new clothes" shopping. I already burned through time yesterday to get a dress for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ptor's work holiday party this week. At least it goes with the shoes I bought last year. However, I need a non-nursing bra that fits to wear under it. Hopefully that will be a quick trip (yeah, right--bra shopping is so much fun--I don't even know what size I am anymore which makes it all the better).
Now if I could just find some good non-wool sweaters I'd be happy.
