So the other day one of my pants got a hole in it, no biggy… cept it’s right on me arse. The other pair I have has a hole in it too in a rather not so cool spot either and neither can really be repaired. Which brought me down to only two pairs of jeans that I can wear outside. So I figured I’d go buy me some new ones right? … yeah I was fooling myself. I go out to look for ones that are affordable and they are all low cropped, tight in the thighs, too long in the legs, they bell out and not to mention I cannot fit my butt in any of them. Stupid trendy pants. *mutters*
So we went to a regular denim shop, ok cool they actually have REAL American jeans, but… 60 euros!!! That’s almost $100. No thanks! So I cannot even fit into the regular European jeans, which heh are spreading about the States anyways so either place it’s hard to find GOOD pants but at least they are still carried here and there and don’t cost me a spleen to buy more than one pair.
Now to the point of this journal, other than I find most stuff overpriced here in Europe when it shouldn’t be. WHY can they not make jeans that are for NORMAL AVERAGE people. You either get the really skinny or the ultra fat pants. The sizes in the middle are incredibly hard to find. I’m not a really FAT person but I’m not petite either, I have a large bone structure so it’s physically impossible for me to fit in anything smaller than a 10M (42 I think over here). I have short legs too so if I buy pants I usually have to watch out that the legs don’t drag on the ground or they start looking like the fringe from an antique lampshade.
The same thing happens to me with ice skates and shoes and even long sleeved shirts and coats. I have a long torso and shorter arms so the arms are always too long. Though that does come in handy with coats because I can suck my hands up into the sleeves making wearing gloves not always required on cold walks.
Anyways and shoes, I have wider feet and they are short so for the longest time I would always bust out the seems on the sides near the ball of my foot. They finally DID wise up and find out women don’t always have dainty little princess feet and made wider shoes but till we found those I wore out shoes pretty fast.
They make pants bigger but then it looks like the person is wearing tubes on their legs rather than pants because they make them so wide at the bottom. Or you get people wearing pants WAY too tight for them, makes their butts pop and the muffin tops come up for air. I wonder if they lose blood circulation to their legs too…
Trends… they suck!
Silly Religious Clothing
Browsing about the web you bump into A TON of silly religious clothing and some other products. Like the t-shirts they sell in Christian bookstores that spoof big brand logos and are just uber cheesy. These designers have no original creativity and most of the time the designs that aren’t ripped look like something a ten year old could do in paint shop. X3 Not all religious shirts are bad, I’ve seen some really pretty and amazing ones too. I have a Christian wall hanging with scripture on it with wolves that I really love.
However, it’s stuff like these shirts: http://www.christianswag.com/ just using a bunch of brand/tv/movie logos and changing them to be Christian is fail. Ok the first couple times they made these it was kind of witty and I got a chuckle from it, but now it’s just lame and overdone.
Or you have clip art shirts: http://www.christart.com/tshirts/
Yeah… those are really spiffy.
THEN you do find the original ones and they make laugh cause they look so ridiculous. IE: http://www.armorofgodpjs.com/
This really gave me a good laugh. I never knew they made these but it’s not really a surprise something that cheesy is on the market.
Now some of these aren’t bad though and pretty original from what I’ve seen: http://www.c28.com/shopping/productlistings.asp?category1=girls&category3=shirts
So I’m not saying ALL Christian clothing is lame sauce just… a lot of it is.
What’s some funny religious type clothing any of you folks have found?
