The Winterose Chronicles, Volume 06: My Size Six Skirt

I bought a skirt yesterday..and it has a "Size 6" on the tag. I am not the size of person that "6" indicates. I know I'm not skinnier and I know the skirt isn't a "true" 6...but I had to buy it anyway.

Damn marketing people know if I can fit comfortably in a "6" I'll buy it just to have that size and have it fit.

I also have a pair of lovely "Size 12" pants in my closet..and they're tight. (I'm not a "12" either.) I love them and wear them anyway. So even if it's sized in a wonky way..if the style is super cute I'll buy it no matter what the tag says on it. (And my skirt IS super cute!) But I'd probably buy more than one pair if it had the coveted "6" on the tag.

If they wanted to make REAL money off me they'd size clothes so that everything in my size had a "6" on it. I know all you ladies out there have at one time or another tried on a pair of jeans or a skirt and LOVED that the size was smaller than your usual size. I have experienced the heady rush that comes from thinking you're all that and a bag of chips...magic bum shrinking chips.

I wonder if I took my current jeans and wrote a "6" on them with a sharpie if I would get the same rush. Hmmmm. I'll be back in a few minutes.

About Buffy Winterrose:
I am a reasonably wonderful person who enjoys reading, snacking on addictive foods, and the sound of the dishwasher running when I know I wasn't the one to fill it.

I married a guy that likes boobs. I've got 'em. Our love should last forever.

I have a daughter who thinks I'm the best mom ever! (She doesn't get out much.)

I'm a room mom, PTA Queen, and sometimes I even go out and earn money just for kicks...and money.

Fame is all I'm looking for..and jeans that make my bum look super fly.
