Things I'm dreaming of that might become reality now... clothes edition.

Getting quality brands hiking gear, and cycling gear for rainy days. Per today I can't fit into any brand that makes these things really well, except for shoe brands... I have had the hiking shoes of my dreams for over two years, but well... I can't really go on big hikes with this weight. My shoes are the Crispi Valdres in black and pink, they're leather, and they fit my feet like they were moulded on. I want to use them more often.

Love, love, love

Being able to get zip-off pants for hiking! I can't ever comfortably get my thies into such pants, because the zip is non-stretch... so the part where the zip is is digging into my flesh. And then when zipping off all the flesh is bulging where the zip line is... ouch. I have never found a zip-off pant that fit me. 

Fitting into my fancy winter coat, and my fancy rain coat. I spent a lot on both of them, and I miss being able to use them.

My turning 40 present to myself,
the raincoat of my dreams.

And ALL the clothes I have not got rid of since the last time I was fit. I have so many clothes... 

Finding boots that fit, that go up to the knee. Not an easy one as my calf muscles are real, but still. 

Being cold. That may sound odd, but if you know, you know. Sweating profusely just from getting my kid dressed is a common occurrence for me. 

Generally my style would be very different if I could fit into the clothes that I like. But since so many brands stop at 44 or 46, that puts a stopper to so many styles. My style has for many years been "whatever I can fit into" - and I am looking forward to being able to take control of that now that I won't be restricted by available sizes. :-)
