Stunned....
You know what? I found a new place to get bottoms, instead of boring old jeans! Plus, the pants look feminine, yet they are comfy!! Esprit!!! I never knew i could fit into the pants they carry!!! I was reluctant to try, especially when i saw Yinglin held up a pair. The largest size, 40, yet it looked miniscule to me. I was even more horrified when Yinglin said i should not even look at 40, and maybe look a size up, 38. Anyway, the salesgirl literally didn't give me a chance to calm down my frantic brain, before bundling me into the fitting room. While i was trying on, i couldn't help thinking of the movie White Chicks, and how the actor (Marlon Wayan) tried to squeeze into a super small pants, and how the actress was going, "You never needed a bigger size, you just have to push!!! Come on, i will help you" Haha! Thankfully that didn't happen anytime. To my complete astonishment, the pants fitted perfectly, and even had some allowance! And it was not even the largest size. So shocked!!! I purchased 2 pairs on the spot. They were really nice pants. Hmmm....now i know where to get my Chinese New Year clothes! Heh heh!
But i was also a little bewildered with myself. I bought a number of jeans from US, and i bought 2 sizes too big. The jeans were practically hanging around me, and Yinglin said that i looked like i had a huge butt because of all the extra space. Really, i must be mad. Size 8 had some allowance, but i didn't purchase them, instead i opted for 2 sizes larger. Sometimes, i really can't fathom what the hell i am thinking of!! But no fret, the jeans are comfortable, and gives me an excuse to wear larger tees! Haha!
But on a more serious note, i am not sure whether it is just me, but i find female clothings to be uncomfortably small, tight and clingy. And girls just seem to want to buy smaller and smaller articles of clothes to squeeze into. For those who can carry it off, good for them, but for those who try too hard, surely going a size larger won't hurt? And i feel this encourages all kind of eating disorders. I am quite confident i am not fat...not yet anyway, but i seem to be buying clothes that tilt towards the large side. I wasn't particularly concerned at first, but somehow, i start having ridiculous thoughts infiltrating my brain. I started having self doubts on my fitness, and that is really crazy. I exercise more than normal youths my age, and i still think i am fat, beyond hope. That is really not healthy. Yinglin said people have different size bones. I agree with that, but i feel sad that this world is so myopic in view, where petite is rooted for and desired after.
