But sometimes even they don&#8217;t have what I want- well in my size anyways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will say that it is much harder to find items you like when you are over a size 8 and over a size Medium. After that point, it seems like there is a lack of styles and clothes to choose from when you are &#8220;mid-size&#8221;&#8230; so anywhere from 10-14 or Large to XLarge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyways, here is the list of items I can never find in my size:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Jeans that fit like a glove&#8230; <\/strong>I know this is a laughable dream. I can find jeans that fit, but the problem is I&#8217;m short. I&#8217;m barely 5&#8217;2 and my inseam is about a 24&#8243;. Which means I have to pay for alterations on top of paying for the jeans themselves. I was super excited when the frayed hem became popular because that was an easy fix.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Black Faux\/Leather Motorcycle Jacket- <\/strong>I am forever in love with this style of jacket&#8211;thanks, Sandy. I have like a million pins of girls wearing this style of jacket. I love it so much, but I can never find one!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Black Over-the-Knee Boots-<\/strong> I&#8217;m not talking like <em>Pretty Woman<\/em> boots, but just a pair of faux\/suede boots that go over my knee. That&#8217;s all I want. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Just about anything designer-<\/strong> Not that I care about labels, but it would be cool to find a designer purse or a clothing item. Although, I did find a pair of Mother denim jeans for $10 and for whatever reason, I left them at the thrift store. Yup. I left them<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m sure there are plenty of other items I can&#8217;t find at the thrift store. But these are the ones that irk me considering I see other people finding them by the cart full on Instagram. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are some things I can just never find.
