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!
