I went top shopping today. Only tops because it’s a bad bottom day. Ladies, y’all know what I mean. Anyhow, I typically wear small tops (2-4-6). But I always try them on because I find certain styles look best when I go up a size. I’ve got a friend who recently had a baby. For the time that I’ve known her, she has pretty much been preggers or in that post-preggers baby weight stage. The other day, she made a comment about how her jeans were a size 6. So I’m sitting there looking at her thighs. I wear size 6, some 4’s. I swear on all things good, cheesy, and fattening, my thighs can’t be anywhere near as large as her. But she’s not the only one. Another friend of mine swears she wears a 6. Again, she’s bigger than me and others who I know wear a six. Is someone lying? I can operate a mirror. I’m thinking it might just be how I like my pants and skirts to fit. I do not like that borderline yeast infection camel toe look. But that’s just me. I like to breath. So, if breathing for me means buying a 6, how the hell are thick thighed Thelmas who weight at least 10 lbs more than me getting into those pants??
Shorts are not work wear. Shorts and fishnets are definately not work wear. I was shopping today and retailers are pushing these knee shorts really hard. They are substituting knee shorts for pants and skirts with jackets. Please, if you ever find yourself sitting in front of me interviewing for a job, have the mind to put on a skirt or pants. No shorts. That’s not hot. It’s not classy. And nobody takes you seriously. Now that we got that frivilous girly stuff out of the way, let’s get to the real deal. (more…)
