Today will be my first outing in my Flanci capris:


I also sorted through my running gear box earlier, matched up tops with new bottoms and separated out a pile to be chucked away:

What I ordered yesterday: a cool t-shirt, a wool t-shirt and a MASSIVE t-shirt... The blue top is really nice, but, have they changed sizing since I last ordered stuff 12 years ago? I am a stone heavier, a dress size larger, yet I am swimming in medium, as in it is really 2 sizes too large? The other tops are both described as orange 🤣 and just about ok, size wise. They are S, but by the time I have lost my stone, I will need XS??? I am not exactly tiny...

I am keeping the blue top, it was only a fiver, and it will be ok for walking and yoga. Shame not for running, it is like a flapping dress, as the fabric is lovely, soft and cotoney...

Sizing is a bit random Hann, I find inov-8/salomon and the like are really small and need their very largest sizes - and then they're close fitting, whereas more mainstream and less expensive brands come up much bigger.

I bought 2 pairs of capris from M&S, one was in the sale and they only had a 12 the other pair I bought a 14 because that's what the black ones I had are.
The 12s are actually bigger than the 14s, except around the calf, where they're quite tight (I have *huge* calves/calfs whatever)

RH that is VERY random!
The two tops that fit, size S, are both athletic tops, fitted. The blue, large one isn't an athletic top, so partly my fault for thinking it was...

SW I love your bright pile of kit on the bed behind you! Almost more than the squigly capris 🤪

LLL lightning bolts for me today. I shan’t buy any more from LLL - this was my first try and they feel very flimsy compared to my others

Great leggings!!

Hann I’ve bought 6 tops in medium & large

2 medium on large side

The one large bought as said comes up small it’s compression but still small (wearable though)

3 fit perfect. How?? And one too I liked somewhere gave sizing as A-G but told you associated 6-18 sizes. What is the point!

Drives me mad
