1. Finding something cute from a distance but seeing upon closer inspection that it has a random slogan on it.
every time I find something in forever 21

The overlap between dresses you like and dresses you can wear a bra with is minuscule.
3. Or have bits at the sides cut out.

Topshop

5. Fake pockets on jeans.
I spent $130 on jeans with fake front pockets... #truereligion what is this??? #fakepockets
The worst deception.
6. And a lack of pockets generally.
a song about women's winter clothing called "even my coat has no pockets"
7. An otherwise nice piece of clothing that's ruined with an ~extra element~.
looool wtf is this topshop
8. Cold-shoulder jumpers that defeat the objective of keeping you warm.

9. Also, cropped ones.

10. White T-shirts that are usually borderline transparent.

11. And so many blouses being sheer so that you have to wear another top underneath.

ASOS
12. Sizing being inconsistent across every shop, and even in the same shop.

13. Bodycon skirts constantly riding up.

14. A perfectly nice top getting the "distressed" treatment.
Only at #urbanoutfitters a red t shirt with holes in it for $160
15. Shorts either being "short shorts" or down to your knees, with no medium length in between.

16. Clothes that are only sold in these four sizes.

Urban Outfitters
What if the medium is too big but the small is too small?
17. Jumpers that are incredibly thin and so kind of pointless.

H&M / BuzzFeed
18. Changing rooms in shops having terrible lighting that puts you off buying anything at all.
when I'm tryin on clothes & my makeup & hair isn't done
19. And the biggest injustice of all: women's jackets pretty much never having inside pockets.
