I tried on a dress today. They didn’t have my size, but I grabbed a dress one size up so I could see what it looked like. And could. Not. Zip. It. Up. I refused to go up two sizes so I struggled for 20 minutes with a one year old in the room with me who was getting tired of playing with my keys before I finally got it closed. It looked totally awesome but I refuse to pay for a dress that 1) Makes my chest look ridiculously flat, and 2) Tries to convince me that I’ve gone up a couple of dress sizes overnight. This aggression will not stand!
Why do other people in clothing stores always assume I work there? Even when I’m standing next to a kid, I have various food stains on my clothes that may or may not originate from this week, my hair is a total mess and my face is screaming for some makeup? Am I sending out some special vibe?
Is this the same phenomenon that gives the staff in Italian restaurants a sudden urge to speak to me in Italian?
Is Susan Boyle really that great a singer or is she just that unfortunate-looking? I’m sorry, people, but I’d have to go with the latter.
I saw an Aston Martin today for the very first time in my life and almost peed my pants. I’ve either become way too influenced by my son, or I had too much coffee for lunch.

blogg en post om du finner en butikk der du passer inn i en kjolestorrelse MINDRE enn det du er, for der vil jeg handle! Du skal liksom vaere min likestilte naar det gjelder barn, aldersforskjell og tilbake til “normal” storrelse, men ser paa bildet at du ligger litt bedre an en meg. Saa da kvalifiserer du til aa motta litt “hat” og det er jo det storste kompliment man kan faa av en annen jente! Men flate pupper i kjole! Ikke kult.

I hate sizes on clothes. Especially in high end or TJMax. Nothing is the same size. I have four pairs of jeans, one is a 4 the next is a 6 then an 8 and lastly a 10. They all fit the same, I know they do because I took pictures from the back side. All my shirts range from xxs to medium. So when people ask my size, I simply reply with….2 and sometimes a 10. LOL.

Adrenalynn said,

Oh, tell me about it! I really hate shopping for jeans. An inch just isn’t an inch anymore! Is there something wrong with just using a measuring tape? I can’t believe your jeans actually range from 4 to 10, that’s outrageous!

Hm.. er det nå jeg ikke skal meddele at det egentlig ikke finnes noen mindre kjolestørrelse, med mindre du regner med barnestørrelser? Men nå har jeg alltid vært en skikkelig bitteliten person, så det skal du ikke ta så tungt La oss bare si det sånn at under klærne er en helt annen sak… Og litt hat er alltid et bra kompliment! Og flate pupper kan de bare ha for seg selv. Den ene gangen jeg finner noe fint på Lindex, lissom…

You’re bold. And going against the herd. I like that!

LT said,

Hmm… vet du… tanten min har brukt “samme” størrelse i alle år.. Og hun går faktisk ned i størrelser. Ikke fordi hun går ned i vekt, men fordi størrelsene er blitt større. Det vil altså si at 28″ ikke er det samme som 28″ for mange år siden. For det første så føler jeg meg lurt. For det andre er jeg misunnelig på henne som går ned i størrelser uten å engasjere seg. Og ikke minst lurer jeg på hvordan en tomme kan bli større…

Åherlighet, der har vi beviset! Det var det jeg visste. Noen må lære de ungene i Kina hvordan man bruker et målebånd, og sånn er det med den saken.
