Dressing like a grown-up

[raefinlay]

I don't like grown up clothes. They're boring. It's the cutesly stuff in the "junior" section that catches my eye. Alas, the cutesly stuff is cut to fit little boys who like pink young girls who never experienced pubescent hip-spread.

Today, I decided to grow up. After cuddling the low-cut jeans with the pink nylon fringe, I turned up my nose and marched away...into the women's section. I chose four pair of pants (all variations on the professional khaki theme) and tried them on. They ALL fit. Waists at waist-level, curvature at the thighs, sturdy fabrics that didn't enhance The Bulge. AND, my size was still in the single digits.

I'm never going back.

*grown up*

Ah yes, the simple joys of finding clothes that fit proper and make you look good!

Hi, my name's Michael and I noticed you friended me the other day. I thought I'd return the favor. I've seen your comments around on LJ, and poked at your journal. We seem to have several of the same interests and people friended.

I'm looking forward to reading more of your LJ.

So out of curiousity, how did you find my journal?

In Peace
Michael

Hi Michael! Glad to have you aboard.

I've seen you comment on my friends' journals. And then I saw the bobcat icon and I just *had* to friend you!

The clothes in the junior section are the only ones that fit me!

(Remember, I still look like I'm 16.) *sobs*

young girls who never experienced pubescent hip-spread.

Oh yeah, I do have that problem. Hmm. Maybe I will look at the "grown up" clothes next time I go shopping...
