Remember I told you that we had a whole bunch of stuff shipped over with us from the UK? Well a few (ahem, most) of them were items of clothing I couldn’t part with. And now that the weather is starting to turn, I decided to bust a few of them out again. I started with my favourite pair of Mango jeans. They got as far as my thighs and then I needed a bit of a wiggle to work them over my hips. My confusion turned to despair when I realised there was no way I was going to button them up. The same fate befell Jordan’s jeans. Our conclusion? They shrunk in the container. That’s our story and we are sticking to it. In the meantime, I’m on the lookout for a beautiful pair of distressed jeans, perhaps in a size or two bigger than usual.
And just because it’s only slightly relevant…
If it happened to BOTH your jeans, well, of COURSE things shrunk in the container. I stick by my favorite line from a book ever, "shopping is hope for the future." ;)
ReplyDeletePlus, you're about to travel, and that's when I do all my stress shopping. Do some for me!
Ha! Shrunk in the container. Love it. It's amazing how our bodies can react when we change environment. Thankfully I go the other way when I move back to Spain, but it affects my hair and skin terribly. Us roaming expats all have a cross to bear ;-) x
ReplyDeleteI suppose it must be the case. It is a lot of water to travel through, the humidity must have gotten to it. Love the inspiration pics for your shopping though. Don't be afraid to use Shopbop if you can't find anything in the shops. :)
