Clothing....PLEASE!

Okay - so what exactly is the fucking deal?? I am now 48 and perimenopausal so I just don’t need clothes anymore?? I don’t need clothes that make me feel good or sexy anymore because I am no longer of use to society?? Am I just all dried up so I don’t need to feel good about myself?? Fuck. That.

I LOVE clothes! I believe that clothes, whilst functional, can also be a way to help you feel good, help create a mood, help build a persona, give you confidence, make you feel sexy and powerful…so what the actual fuck, clothing companies????

So the joys of perimenopause means that your body composition changes - due to hormonal changes you put on more visceral fats, more weight around your middle and it’s harder to lose it because - yes, you’ve guessed it, your hormones are all over the fucking place…..ugh.

Instead of anyone looking at this and maybe seeing that women who are menopausal and perimenopausal have money to spend and that maybe they want clothes that fit - clothes that smooth things out, hold things in and just maybe make us feel better about ourselves, but instead - on my last attempt at buying a pair of fucking jeans, I felt like a fucking potato - NOTHING fit. Literally nothing.

I mean…. what the actual fuck?? How can you go into one shop and try on jeans and be anywhere from a size 12 to a size 16? IN THE ONE SHOP? I hate to bring men into this but their sizing is meticulously measured out in inches and cms, whereas women are sizes 0 - 26, XS - XXXL, 32 - 48, 1-4… I don’e even fucking know what half of these mean, and I can guarantee you they’re all different for each brand too… and then there’s tops - all sized the same but with ABSOLUTELY no consideration for women’s tit size compared to their waist size or how that may change during our cycle!! (Please excuse me whilst I go and scream into the FUCKING VOID!!!!)

Oh - and before any of you fuckers out there just say “oh, well why don’t you just lose some weight?”. Fuck all the way off and when you get there fuck off some more. Losing weight is NOT an indication of good health.

So - clothing companies… GET. YOUR. FUCKING. SHIT. TOGETHER. Make clothes for us… we have money, we WILL spend it.
