mllelaurelNext time I decide that I need to shop for new clothes, can somene just shoot me? It would be more humane, I swear.
I'm going out with a bunch of my friends next Saturday, so I thought: "Hey, I could use some clothes more interesting than the stuff that I wear to school." Ok, everything's fine so far. I get off my ass and take the train to Park Street. I go into a store, and, lo and behold, there are shirts! And not only are there shirts, but they are pretty, and the prices aren't that bad. There's only one catch - even the so-called 'Large' sized clothes would barely fit my cat!
Now, I'm no stick, but I don't consider myself to be particularly overweight, either. I'm 5'3, 130 lbs. Average; a bit on the busty size. And nothing remotely attractive as much as made an attempt at fitting me. Every store I went into, it was the same: All the cute clothes were made for anorexics, and everything in my size heavily resembled burlap sacks.
Am I just having a bad day, or is it like this all the time? If so, it's no wonder so many people develop eating disorders!
Conclusion: Next time I think I need something new to wear, I'll just throw on my pajamas, propriety be damned.
