Clothes Shopping

Let's be honest. I hate shopping. And, there's no shopping I hate more than clothes shopping.

Today, I found myself clothes shopping. I have an important meeting tomorrow that I was told to dress up for. I rarely wear "dress up" clothes. It's not my style. Most of what I have is far too casual for a meeting in which I want to impress. The one thing I do have that would be dressy enough, I have typically worn to the symphony and is far too low cut to wear to a professional meeting. Bummer.

So, forced to the stores, I found myself clothes shopping. I hate clothes shopping. (Have I emphasized that enough?) I'm picky about clothes and have sensory issues, which is why I tend to find one brand, one clothing line, one thing that works and buy a bunch of it. It's too tight, too loose, too girly, too rough, too itchy, too short, too binding, not long enough or soft enough. The list goes on and on. It gets even harder to find clothes when I'm shopping for "dress up" clothes, which are notorious for being everything I hate about clothes. Hard to fit, fabrics I hate, hard to care for, etc.

I went to 4 different stores before I lost my patience and my frustration tolerance had reached it's limits.

I bought a pair of pants.

Any suggestions for what to do about shoes and a top?
