Anyone want to come and mourn the reality vs expectation of new purchases with me?

[Swimminguphill]

I bought this beautiful jacket online. In my mind I'd look like Blondie in the 80s, very rock and roll and all round awesome. In reality I look like a giant angry teddy bear/yeti. I have broad shoulders and a bust although slim in general, and it doesn't do me any favours. I wanted it for ages and it's now sold out, and so the joy of getting it in my size just in time is sadly wasted. It is a beautiful jacket - just not on me! Anybody else want to come and mourn reality vs fantasy with me?

My hairdresser at the time said the perm would "drop into a loose wave after a few weeks....". Well no it didn't. The spiral curls had to grow out. One and done. Never again!

I think I spent a year with my hair tied up!

Interestingly (to me) I recently asked my hairdresser if people still have perms; she said she won't do a perm on anyone.
