Stocking
Where once upon a time.. i had to get my stockings from Marks & Spencer because i’ve got elephant’s thigh and pay ALOT for it. I now only need to pay a few bucks for 2 pairs of nicely fitting stocking here.
Yes.. clothings and accessories are easy to buy for someone like me.. on the heavier side. Over here i do not have to be embarrassed by the sales girls back home.. who look at me.. like i’m a monster.. and nothing will fit me. I used to shop at either Marks & Spencers or Liz Claiborne and another australian brand .. that i cannot remember now. And most of my clothes are ex.. because i cannot get them in petite sizes in Singapore.
Over here.. i can easily buy any jeans.. and fit into anything. Everyone is huge here. So yes.. one of the perks of living in Canada is.. loads of clothings.. at low-low prices.
my problem exactly! clothes here are so darn ex and lately the quality and fashion has been goin down the drain too. i order my jeans from old navy and get it shipped to me…still cheaper than if i have to pay for them here. i usually wait for those summer sales and order my old navy stuff like tees, capris, pants etc. no choice, and its better than buying for so much here.

I’m facing the same problem too. I’m a big big gal in a small small world. It’s hard to buy things from a small world which can fit a big gal! U r so lucky!
