The biggest struggle for me now is that I actually do know what I want in terms of my style but because I do know what I want quite specifically in terms of color, fabric, silhouette etc. the problem is now finding it….so many brands are not my style and the ones that are my style, do not carry the items in my size or are insanely expensive or they only put out limited releases and if I get the wrong size then that’s it, no exchanging for a different size. Also, I am petite and it is nearly impossible to find clothes in my style that fit…v necks way too low, shoulders way too wide, waists way too low, sleeves too long etc. Also a common issue is the better, high quality items are so extremely expensive now. I’m fine ‘investing’ in good quality items, however, as with most things that are produced now…the options are very cheap fast fashion or crazy, extremely expensive items/ brands. The best example is knitwear. Most is cheap, synthetic polyester, nylon etc. and even in fast fashion brands they will still be charging $100+ for synthetic knitwear. But if I actually want a more natural fibre knitwear, then the cost is $200 absolute minimum or $350+. Thrifting is now even ridiculously expensive. It’s one extreme or another. These are my ‘fashion/ style’ challenges now.
