The Horrors of Jeans Shopping




So, my body is weird. When I say weird, I mean that certain clothes fit me differently. My biggest problem at the moment is buying jeans. They're either way too big, or they're cutting off my circulation. There's just no happy medium. The size that I need, you're not gonna find at Old Navy or Macy's. But in all honesty, I kinda have this phobia of going to the big & tall stores. Back in my fluffy days, I went there one time with my mom to pick up some pants for my high school graduation. I had to try on about four sizes before I could find a pair that fit: A size 46. The process was traumatizing and I haven't looked back since. Nowadays, I just may have to. Now that I'm working out regularly, my legs are becoming increasingly muscular. So now I have to find pants that are loose enough to accomodate this change, which is a task and a half. I'm 6'3, so I'm gonna need a big pair, but I prefer fitted jeans. Once I put them on, they become a pair of tight highwaters (that's not sexy). But then if they're too big, I'm called foldy butt by a select few friends of mine. I may sound like a female but this stuff is important to me. You want to be able to be comfortable in what you're wearing, not being afraid that at any given moment your thighs are ready to burst out. I'm gonna find that perfect pair where I can walk down a street without starting a fire by rubbing my legs together.
