Just went to a local shopping centre and got my fix of food court Chinese food, love it. Also unashamedly purchased a pair of Kmart trackies for each family member. They are unfortunately all the same shade of darkish grey ($8). Hey, the men's cheap trackies are cheaper, thicker and warmer, and come in more serviceable colours than the ones in the women's section, so 4 pairs of men's trackies in varying sizes it was. I am a bogan.

Grey or black trackies, black hoodie, a chain, and an earring. This is the outfit of 15-18 year old boys who roam the local shopping centre and wanna be eshays hehe

Lol I'm doing 3 out of 4 of these πŸ˜†

I've donned the grey trackies everywhere at the moment. We can both be bogans lol

My new Kmart trackies have been putting in work πŸ™

Reminds me I could use some more trackies, hope they’re not too tight, I like them a little bit baggy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They're a relaxed fit on my, err, relaxed shape. It's just getting the right size and not being too fussy about the colour.

I forgot which store I looked at last when I was looking for trackies and they were quite tight and slim fitting which I really hate.

Can’t remember if it was K mart or big W

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I got these

The last time I went to BigW they weren't as good as I remember. Not sure what size you'd need but my 11yo Miniest takes XS, Elder 13yo takes S, my fat ass takes M, and Mr P takes 2XL. They had up to 4XL that I saw. Mr Ps Mum also wears them because they are roomy enough in the caboose to fit her incontinence pants.

I’ll check them out when I go shopping this week after I get paid.

Do they have elastics at the bottom of the legs?

Took a pic of Miniest's pants to show you what the waist and one of the leg cuffs looks like:

Thanks for the pic

I’ll have to try them before I buy them. Not too keen on the leg cuffs

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

Understandable, I'm not usually a fan of that style of cuff either. I'd prefer cuffless because it suits my body shape better.

Not to mention proper pockets. I see nothing wrong with any of this and consider it a good day

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

Yesss, decent pockets that you can actually fit your phone into ftw!

Better to be warm and comfy!! What's your go to plate? I'm a sucker for a sweet n sour pork, but my local place does a bangin' beef satay.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

I usually go black bean beef and either honey chicken or sweet and sour pork 🀀
