You know, as much as I've sort-of-accidentally lost weight these past few months, I'm actually tempted to try and lose more, just so I can buy pants here! I spent half my afternoon trying on shorts* and the pair that came closest to fitting without stretching in an unbecoming way (were my hips 1cm smaller, I would have bought them) were size LL and no store had anything bigger. For the record, I usually hate shopping for pants, just because whenever I do, there never seems to exist anything close to what I want, fabric- and style-wise. This time, there were plenty of shorts I liked (black, slim-fitting, medium-low rise, a couple of inches above the knee, cute scarf as belt, etc.) but they were too damn small! It's funny to think that I'm so wide here, even when I've done nothing but get smaller since the winter. And it's not only my hips, it's my shoulders and my bust as well. To think that my breasts would ever be too big for anything -- hah! Good thing loose is in style, otherwise I'd be hard-pressed to find anything that fit without it being stretchy.
Of course, none of this would be a problem if I felt like tackling the wonderful world of trouser-making, but I'm not quite brave enough for that yet. I guess some pant-shopping will be in order when I'm back in Canada in a few weeks, unless I lose some more weight. I'm still quite surprised that I've lost most of it from my hips and that my bust has not decreased significantly in size, seeing as how I had previously gained weight rather evenly on my top and bottom. But I shouldn't complain, because I haven't had to go shopping for bras yet, possibly the only thing I hate shopping for more than pants.
I wasn't able to resist the lure of cute accessories, though, so I got a hair clip, some earrings and a necklace.
* For the record, I don't care what the Fug Girls say, I like the kind of shorts currently in fashion. Also, for the record, I disagree with their stance re: dresses over pants, but they're only half-wrong. The pictures they've posted of that trend are of celebrities who've got it wrong; you don't wear a tight, sparkly party dress over worn-out jeans, you have to wear a loose-fitting casual dress, preferably with an Empire waist or no waist at all, over dark, clean jeans.
