Well yesterday I had loads to do as at present I am trying to sort stuff in my flat that I should have done ages ago (and because at the start of Feb I will have two weekends of visitors)... However of course me being me also had a bit of time to check out the shops... First off I went all the way to Hollingbury in the outskirts of Brighton to Matalan to buy a mop and bucket... Before getting to the home section "I had to" walk through the ladies clothes, of which Matalan has loads! Dull, boring, lacklustre is all I can say to summarise what I saw. I spent more time "ooohing" and "aahhing" at plates and cups in the home section. Its a shame really because the Matalan website looked quite promising...
I then went all the way to the other extreme of Brighton, to the Marina, just to recycle the mass of cardboard that has accrued in my flat and thought whilst I was there I would pop into Asda and check out the clothes too... The George collection was equally soul destroying being one part boring and the other extremely hideous, for fuck's sake who would want to wear knitted polka dot cardi? For some one who has worn plus size clothes for the majority of my life I can honestly say I've worn all the dots and curtains I can take.
I hope this initial taster I've had of the season is a blip. If this year continues to be as bad as last year's clothes-wise, I'm going to form a group of assassins to take out all of the fashion designers in the world.
