I have lost 5 pounds. YEAH ME! I am going on a mini-vacation this weekend so I went clothes shopping. BOO ME! I have come to the conclusion that there are only two kinds of clothes. Those made for the 16 year old girls who are over six foot tall and weigh less than 100 pounds and those made for the women over 65 who are five foot and weigh over 200 pounds.
I tried on several tops from the Junior department. They were cute and spunky and hip. Just what I was looking for. They all said “L” on the tag which I assumed meant large. Obviously I was wrong. It must mean “Lanky”. By the time I had wiggled and pulled the shirt over my chest, it sat there and taunting and challenging me to pull it over my waist. Mean shirt!
So I gave in and went over to what they called “Women’s” clothing. These were not women’s clothes. Not the women I know. They had no spunk, no hip (or any waist that I could see..lol) and no shape whatsoever. A potato sack with flowers. I didn’t bother to try any of them on. It depressed me to even think of myself in any of those.
I know they have some decent clothes in some of the higher end department stores, but I just cannot bring myself to pay $50 for a shirt. I am not that fussy. I just want a shirt that looks nice, has a little bit of life in it and doesn’t remind me of my grandmother.
So, I have decided that I need to open a chain of discount stores called “ChubMart”. A place where someone with a little meat on their bones and is over the age of 16 can find a decent outfit without paying a week’s salary. Anyone want to buy stock? LOL
