Disturbia

I've recently started a second blog called Old Habits & Lost Baggage about my journey to sobriety, but since that's not very fun I figured I'd post here again too. Because buying clothes is much more fun 😅

I recently made my first ever order with Disturbia as I fell in love with these ridiculous shorts.

Beetle Shorts - model wears size 8

I always have a hard time with sizing online as it's so inconsistent, even within brands a lot of the time. My estimated measurements had me between a 10 & 12, so I initially ordered the 12. They were pretty baggy, I was surprised! 12 is often a bit tight on me these days. The waist wasn't too bad but the butt and thighs had far too much fabric for me.

Size 12

They also had the back patch sewn upside down somehow, so really hoping they'll be kind enough to refund my postage since they're technically faulty as I'd have had to return them anyway even if they had fit.

So I returned them and risked the 10, which fit perfectly! The shorts are a little thinner than I'd like, but not sheer and they're pretty eye-catching.

Size 10

I wear a lot of black & white (mostly black), so they're a good way of spicing up what would otherwise be a plain & boring outfit.

I'm not sure I would order from them again, but would depend on if I found anything else I really liked. £33 + postage seems a little steep to me for 'normal' clothing, though return postage is covered at least. Now to hope for some nice weather to get some wear out of them!
