Clothes Shopping

Today is my regularly scheduled day off and I am planning on going clothes shopping and I’m already feeling anxiety creeping in.

I really dislike shopping because, being so short
(4’ 9-ish), nothing ever seems to fit. My legs are the shortest part and, well, I have a solid butt and thighs! Good stock I like to say.

I start to sweat when I’m in stores and I walk around in circles. I just don’t feel like I belong and making decisions is agonizing!

Ordering online is my preferred method and it’s easy to send things back if they don’t fit. Last week I ordered jeans from Ambercrombie & Fitch because they carry extra short lengths. I bought two pairs of jeans in their Curve Love style. A&F is one of the stores I plan on going to, and I want to try other styles, and try their regular style (see, already thinking maybe something else will fit better).

After that I will head to the few other stores that carry petite sized clothing and hopefully will find a few nice pieces for our vacation in Charleston SC next month.

Wish me luck!
