just do what I do
make a list of what you want then spend a bit of time on the net looking for it on ebay and a standard few sites. It's handy to check sizes in the stores and know what sort of size you need- for example in GAP I wear a medium if it's any sort of top, but won't fit any of the dresses because they're tinily cut on top. Same for French Connection- size 12 or medium is fine, except for their fitted shirts where I'd get a 14. Once you know the sizes just shop on their online stores

This is far to well though out.
My system usually goes:

1) See
2) Buy
3) Regret

I never have any idea what suits me
I'm a fatty, so most trendy things look ridiculous and so pale that many colours make me look sick.

man, I forgot I posted a picture once, but thanks
I'm a size 18, that's fat enough to look stupid in most clothes

Size 18? Really?
You looked very waif like in that purple dress you were wearing.

Unless of course I'm confusing you with someone else. You're the LARP love aren't you?
