The Adventures of Shopping-While Being Oddly Shaped and Short

First off let me just say Happy Monday!!!

I recently went shopping this weekend for some new clothes and of course anytime I go shopping, it’s always an adventure. Sometimes a good adventure and other times not so much. Anyone who knows me, knows I love shopping (I’m sure you figured that out from the blog) but there are times when I HATE it. That’s right, HATE it. You’re probably asking yourself, how can a self pro-claimed shopaholic hate to shop? Well lets see my two main reasons why I hate shopping (at times): I’m oddly shaped and I’m short. By being oddly shaped (in my mind), I am busty up top but narrow, get to my hips and I’m shaped like a coke bottle and then my back side, there is a little bit there.

Every since I was a child, finding clothes to fit me perfectly has been a task. Clothes were either too big or too small, there was hardly anything in between. You would think I would be used to this by now, seeing it’s been an issue for me my whole life but that’s not the case. As I was shopping this weekend, I found this really cute dress that I had to have. I went into the dressing room to try it on and it fit perfectly, with the exception of my top half. I figured I would just try on the next size up (thinking this would work). So I go back into the dressing room to try on the bigger size and it is too big. I became frustrated because I wanted this dress. If I bought the smaller dress my top part would be smushed into the dress, which would not be attractive and if I bought the bigger dress I’d have to get it taken in (which would only cost me more money). There was no happy medium for me. Therefore, I did not buy the dress.

It’s crazy because I can remember all my girlfriends hitting puberty and I was so jealous.  Why be jealous, you ask? Because I wanted to “wear the bra” and have a bigger top half like most of my friends. Well lo and behold, I no longer have that issue. Finding tops/dresses that fit me with no issue is not easy (so much for wanting bigger one’s when I was younger). I’m sure any woman who is busty has experienced this as well. It definitely makes shopping a little harder. While writing this post, I actually came across 8 Style Tips for Busty Women. Hopefully this will help anyone who has the same issues as myself.

Now on to trying to find pants that fit. I am 5’2″ so finding pants that fit perfectly (everywhere) is a whole different story. They typically are to long,to big/small or do not fit in my rear end.My biggest problem though with pants is they are too long. Every short girls problem with finding pants. Lol.

As a woman, I know every body type has issues with finding clothes that fit correctly. I wish that every store and designer had the same sizes across the board. It would just make live a little easier. I hope you enjoyed this post (more of my issues with finding clothes) and can relate.
