clothes shopping
Shopping for clothes sucks. Here’s why:
1. Mannequins - Who came up with this idea? The clothes look fantastic on them, and they’d look great on me too if I was made of plastic and perfectly shaped to fit into the clothes that they are selling. Also, they sometimes have weird heads that look like aliens or blonde albino Asians. What’s up with that?
2. Dressing room lighting - Ever notice how the lights in a changing room shine down in such a way that casts a shadow on every single bit of fat and every unattractive part of your body? The clothes that I’m trying on won’t sell very well if I *vomit* all over them.
3. “Vintage” - Some of it is really cute looking, but can’t I wear my own holes in my jeans?
4. Teenage girls - “Mom, buy me this! Mom, this is sooooo cute!” Get a grip. Get a job. Get a life.
5. Pushy people - Don’t you love it when people shove in front of you to look at clothes as though you’re not there? That’s always convenient
6. No items in your size - Yes, the ONE SHIRT that I really liked had to be available in sizes that only midgets and whales could fit into. Thank GOD they’re catering to the large midget/whale population.
I’d love to hear what other people think of this. I went through this experience at Old Navy and American Eagle this weekend.
