Shopping

Yesterday, I did something that I love and hate- shopping. I love looking at clothes and making outfits, but I hate trying clothes on.  It is an extremely frustrating experience.  I know that they say to not pay attention to size because sizes vary from store to store and style to style. But to me, size does matter.  If a pair of pants is a little too tight, I would much rather not buy them then to buy the next size up. 

Pants are my biggest issue.  They never fit right.  I have short legs and hold all my weight in my hips.  If a pair of pants fit my hips, they are most likely going to be too big in my legs.  I just have to deal with that.  But that is why I only own three pairs of pants-jeans, black pants, and khakis. 

Yesterday, I decided to skip the pants.  I was determined to have a good shopping trip with my friends and not feel bad about myself.  So I only tried on shirts.  Bravely, I decided to try on a shirt that I tried on last month.  I didn’t buy it then because it was just a tad too tight and I was too stubborn to buy the next size up.  This time, it fit so much better, so I bought it.  I love that shirt and am so glad that it fits me now.  It makes me feel better.  I know that the scale hasn’t moved that much, but I feel a lot skinnier now.  I have noticed that my double chin has gotten smaller, too.  Yay!
