What Not To Wear….

I practically had to drag myself out of my house to go shopping a couple of days ago. Yes, I am that sole female that actually hates to go shopping. I have more fun shopping at Staples than I do any mall!

However, I really needed to go shopping because my lack of summer clothes was finally getting to me. Also, I look pretty weird wearing a cardigan and dress pants in 35C temperature. I thought that instead of complaining about the fact that I have no clothes, I should at least go shopping.

The one thing that I really wanted to buy was a nice pair of jeans. The kind that I could wear with platforms or funky wedges. I went to a store that is known for their denim and enlisted the help of a very knowledgeable, yet chatty salesperson. I told her what I was looking for and she located a couple for me to try on. As I walked to the change room she said, “I want to see them, so please show them to me!” Okay, you know I didn’t want to do that! Going through the hassle of trying on jeans….and then having an audience? I wasn’t down with that….but I did show them to her once I put them on. The first one showed off all my curves (which I am proud of), but I found them way too tight. She said that they were a better fit than the ones that I was wearing. Okay, true my jeans were quite baggy….they are comfy!

I tried on the next pair which did fit better, but were still tighter than anything that I wear. The chatty salesperson—along with everyone in the change room said she liked it and that it hugged me in all the right places. She said that I wore my jeans too big and I needed to celebrate my curves. I honestly felt like I was one of those fashion-challenged women on that makeover show, What Not To Wear.

I pranced around in the jeans for a few more minutes. I checked out the booty view and realized that they were the ones for me.

I’m happy to say that I bought them and I can’t wait to rock them.

Until my next entry.

peace & love
