1) Making a post that says "It's my birthday!" and then coming back a few hours later and going "Why the heck is the mailbox for my LJ replies so full?" is just silly. I? Am silly.
2) Clothes shopping is no fun at all. But it is much nicer when it is successful, when the things you like that fit turn out to be on sale, and when done on a weekday afternoon when the mall is, if not barren, at least much less busy.
3) I am so tired of women's sizes in the U.S. Someone please just give me tags that give the measurement through the waist, hips, butt, inseam, and rise, pls? I admit it's more numbers but if I could get an accurate idea of whether it would fit before picking what to try on, I'd be happy. Problem compounded by the fact that this varies, not just by manufacturer, or by style, but by both. Sigh.
4) I win anyway, 'cause I have pants that fit. These can replace a few pairs that fit only if you consider 'fit' to mean 'automatic tourniquet on sitting' or 'excuse me, sir, I did not mean to hit you in the eye with my button, it just popped off' (okay, no, really not quite that bad but they FEEL like it).
I like shopping, mind. I just dislike CLOTHES shopping. There's a reason for this. :P
