where do you get your clothes? looking for recommendations that ship to Canada

***cross posted in other (womens) sub ***

I have come to the conclusion that I need to update my wardrobe. Ugh, this is one of the worst things for me because I absolutely hate shopping.

Menopause has done a number on my body comp so the clothes that used to fit me just look....weird. They sort of fit but since meno, I seemed to have developed some kind of sensory aversion to form-fitting clothes and whenever things are fitted or feel snug, I feel suffocated. Who knew meno could do this?!

I can't wear low rise anymore because it doesn't feel good so I've switched to higher waisted (mid or high rise) fitting pants with stretch that feel more comfortable now.

so far, I have discovered (thanks to other Redditors!) Democracy jeans! (PS - if you're looking for jeans that fit well, feel good and look good, check them out. I found a bunch at Winners; go for the "Ab Solution" line. I think they're also available on Amazon).

for other clothing pieces - jean shorts, tops that hit at the top of the hip and even cute dresses...this is where I struggle. Mostly, I'm looking for tops that hit at the top of the hip but most of the ones I've seen/found are too long (hits low hip/top of thighs) and I dont like tucking in my shirts (sensory thing again!). I would really like shorter tops (but not crop) because they look much better with higher waisted pants as it accentuates the slimmest part of my waist.

For reference, I'm 5'3 about 145lbs. I have a body shape that makes it difficult for me to shop - wide shoulders and large legs due to heavy lifting so while I can fit into a small, everywhere else is tight and then I feel like a stuffed sausage.

any recommendations you have - links and/or stores where they ship to Canada - would be greatly appreciated. I usually dont like shopping on Amazon because I have my reasons but I'm desperate and willing to put aside my feelings about that to stop looking like a sad potato.

I've been researching mascaras for my short straight lashes but I have one problem -- every single mascara smudges on me. Ones that boast 'smudge proof' and even tubing somehow smudges on me (at least a little bit).

I'm looking for a mascara that holds the curl and more importantly, does not smudge. I dont care if it's hard to remove, I will get a remover if need be. I guess I have oily lids (? doesn't feel like it but I must since everything smudges on me) so I've been looking at the following (based on people I've talked to, sales people at the stores etc):

  • Kiss me Long Up super water proof
  • deja vu fiberwig
  • clio kill
  • Romand han all fix

has anyone used any of these and can provide input? (note -- I tried a search on this sub but the posts are pretty old, things may have reformulated since then so looking for more recent reviews)

(also posted in other subs to get the most answers!)
