What's your biggest wardrobe struggle? For me, it’s bras. Finding my size is an absolute nightmare. It's impossible. Either they only carry those old-fashioned, pointy Victoria's Secret styles—which I absolutely hate—or I see a perfect 105D/E in some catalog, but when I go to buy it, it's always "out of stock." It is so frustrating I could pull my hair out! 🙂
Boobs, pants, and boots. 🙂
Finding bras is a constant struggle. I have an A or B cup, but my breasts are widely set, while my ribcage requires at least a 38. When the cups actually fit my bust, they’re too shallow, making it impossible to fit everything in properly—assuming I can even find one that fastens. If the band fits, the cups are always far too deep and empty. It's a losing game.
Finding pants is an endless struggle. My hips are wide and my thighs are thick, but my waist stays narrow—just genetics, I guess. It’s been an issue since I was thinner. If I buy something that actually fits my lower half, the waist is massive and sits way too high, bunching up under my ribs. Then there’s the gap at the back, which forces me to cinch myself in with a belt like an idiot just to look decent.
And then there are the boots. Wide soles, tiny feet, high arches. It’s a disaster.
Pants are my biggest issue. I buy bras and boots once every few years and wear them until they literally fall apart, but pants are a constant struggle. I have a pair from H&M that I bought maybe three or four years ago; I’m thinking about taking them to a tailor to have a new pair custom-made based on the fit. Whenever I finally find a pair that actually works, I make the same mistake every single time—for some reason, I never just buy two pairs or grab them in different colors.🙂
