Having a chat with a friend tonight, we both relayed our fear of having our bags lost in transit.
It's a sizin-g issue.
I'm a size 18-20 depending on the brand, the day and the cut.
My friend is smaller that me - more a size 12-14, but she has an unusual bra size for which she needs to go to specialist shops.
The thought of lost bags to me means living in the clothes that you're wearing for however many days on end until your bags turn up is bad enough. Knowing that finding clothes in your size, with ease, is a bit of a nightmare is enough to make you feel a bit of anxiety. Often, when you're on the bigger size of things, if you're stuck for something to wear, it's Kmart menswear t-shirts and trakkie dacks. It's knowing you cant fit into your friend's clothes at a push, it's the fear that there's going to be nothing for your to buy in the days you're away, and if you do manage to find something it's either exorbitantly priced, badly made or both. Or you can have something made, but that can take a while.
Sure, there are some places you can go where plus sized clothes are easier to find - the UK and America come to mind. But in Bali, you're struggling to find clothes if you over a size 14. And I'm fronting up to New Zealand on a Friday. Are the shops open there on a weekend?
Anyway, that's what's stressing me out at the moment, and why.
