While I’m at it

I want some new clothes.
Not more clothes, you understand. Better clothes.
My two pairs of combats are too short since I did T’ai-Chi for a year (I grew two inches. Or maybe that’s an effect of the NC training. Whatever). I have been given two pairs of jeans by my Mum which are comfy only because they are too big and anyway they are blue. I have been given one pair of black leather trousers by my Mum which would be fab if they weren’t two sizes too big for me and make me look like I have a beer belly (I most certainly do not – my tummy is my best feature). I have two pairs of gi trousers which I use in all sorts of situations outside the dojo. And one pair of boot-cut hipsters that I love to bits but are getting worn out because I wear them so much.
I would really like to throw out my badly worn trackie bottoms and the two pairs of combats and give the black leather trousers to a charity shop, and then buy some clothes that (a) fit me; and (b) suit me. Gods, that would be novel.
I threw out a bunch of stuff before I moved up, but I could do with being even more ruthless and throwing out the stuff that really I will never wear because I hate it and only have it for those weird-ass occasions when I have to pretend to be a professional woman with no odd traits. White shirts. Smart skirts. That sort of thing.
I managed to get this job without having to dress like a banker. I could probably chuck those. Especially as they were second-hand and are too big for me anyway.
Getting clothes that fit my shape properly is a real drag.
