I shun shopping

Unlike many of my female friends, I do not like to shop. Except for food, I would rather be shot than shop. Since I no longer work, I own a couple of outfits for public outings. Even those begin to 1) lose their style and 2) wear out, so I start to look for something new when I am at a place that sells clothes.

Seventy-five pounds ago, I shopped at one of the "big girl" stores. It offers quality clothing that lasts more than a washing or two. Since the big weight loss, I have not found "the go to store" yet.

Clothing made overseas and sold at discounters lasts for maybe a couple of washings before the garment fades and begins to come apart. Often the fit does not, or the sleeves might be askew.

I found a web site which offers a roundup of the companies which make their products in the USA. Only one drawback to clothing shopping. I am not sure what size I wear. Sizes vary according to the company. Generally the more you pay for a shirt, the larger the size.

My knee still hurts. I am going to put it to bed now.

Later, Dude.
