Ironically I used to need to select clothes to cover them. Now I have to select clothes to pretend to cover them.
This!
And in dark colors!
Yes, I still buy things that look like they cover garments, but mostly by now it is old habit, and the fact that I sunburn like a redhead, even though I am not.
Shopping is always a pain for women if they are normal, and not a perfect size 4. Sizes are not really standardized. I wear one size at one store and another at a different store. And having more curves, gives us lots more places where the clothing doesn't fit right. For me, the top might fit, but the pants are too big, so the whole outfit gets rejected. Women are not all shaped alike, but the clothing pretends to be. So, two or three piece outfits never work. Women's clothing does not come in sensible sizes, like 34x 32, where one is the waist and the other the length. But we get our choice of two, sometimes three lengths, so if you are too tall for petite, but too short for regular, none of the pants length ever fit right, because the difference between petite and regular is about 8-10 inches. I either have to walk on the hem, rehem them, or go with the high water pants, because I can't buy what fits. So, I buy men's levies, because at least I can buy my length, and then wear a belt for the lack of waist.
So, I understand all too well shopping for three hours and not finding anything that fits and I even half like.
