its either trousers, or skirt and top. colours are variations of black, brown and grey. sometimes tops are coloured.
no patterns , no embellishments, not fun.
unless you are a size 0

Stitch,

I agree with you in a way. I think clothes here are quite often very well cut, but a bit boring in terms of style and pattern, and there's very little to suit Asian colouring. I get a lot of clothes from India in very bright colours ( fuchsia, turquoise, orange, purple) and mix them with basics I buy here. I never wear black, brown or grey on my top half. Very unflattering for Asian colouring, imo.

make stuff yourself!

Don't agree - I've got lots of unusual tops and brightly coloured clothes.

stitch · 20/03/2006 18:50

where do you get them from gdg? some pointers would be appreciated.
mm, im not good enough to make them myself!

you're obviously making the mistake of only shopping in new clothes shops. My tip is to try charity shops - that way you can buy clothes in colours other than this season's 4 options.

they're good for coloured clothes in Spain, but I am too lazy/tight to shop often and am not a size 8.
