For years I was convinced that there were only a select few shops that I really seemed to find outfits that not only fitted well but that I liked. Whenever I went shopping I would walk past a large number or retailers telling myself that I knew where I needed to shop and convinced that there was no point looking anywhere else.

Recently I started to experiment with clothing from other stores and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a number of places that previously I wouldn’t visit that seemed to have clothing suitable for me. I also had to understand that clothing shops vary their sizing drastically and rather than being adamant that I was one particular size, trying on a number of sizes until I found the one that fitted best. Since my discovery I have started to enjoy shopping for clothes again and found that as with anything, clothing stores do change over time and sometimes it is worth revisiting ones we had previously written off.
