Okay, I do not normally rant about anything but today I feel the need to do so.
Since I start work next week, I decided to take it upon myself to go out shopping for some new clothes for my orientation. The is a wonderful mall very close to me and is full of wonderful stores both expensive and not. So, I make my way over this afternoon with full intentions of spending lots of Skoorb's hard earned money to make myself look nice in some new clothes. I walk through many of the stores, looking at prices and styles and then I start to try things on, mainly pants because that is what I need.
After 3 hours, I came to the realization that clothing manufacturers have decided that women are to have no hips and no butt and that they are to be perfectly straight like little boys. MrsSkoorb is NOT perfectly straight like a little boy! I am a woman and therefore I am shaped like one! I do not want pants that are slung so low that if I bend over, I risk losing them nor do I want pants that are skin tight and balloon at the bottoms like elephant legs! Then again, I don't want grannie pants that are up around my boobs. I simply want casual pants that FIT me and make me feel comfortable. I went into so many different stores and just about gave up out of pure misery and frustration.
Now before you think "Oh great, another woman not happy with how she looks in clothing," this was not the issue. I mean, if they FIT me I might be able to say that I didn't look good. Quite simply, nothing fit. I am not a strange shape, I am NORMAL. I just don't understand, I really don't. Everyone else must be freaks....
Sigh.
There. I am finished ranting. Thank you.
BTW: Skoorb got a pair of jeans out of it.
