Size does matter!

We took the daughter and SIL to Red Lobster for dinner tonight, so I thought I'd wear something a little nicer than my usual turtleneck/sweatshirt combo. I was rummaging through my closet when I found a deep purple plaid blouse and faux suede big-shirt that I bought about 10-15 years ago. The size tag said 12P, so I wasn't too sure if it would

Amen sister! This is like when I was a kid, models were size 8 to 10 and now they are size 0 to 2. Size 14 is now the average size but I bet that's not even really the real size. I dont know why they do this to women but it sucks.

Probably to make us buy more clothes! Seriously, I was flabbergasted when I put the blouse on..if I try on a 12P now..I can't even button it, there's just not going to be enough material in it. The fashion industry just baffles me no end. I ordered a new pair of work pants..same style, I just ordered the next size up. The 'next size up' was smaller than the pair I wanted to replace! I'm sorry, guys, I'm just not "Twiggy" sized any more! *sigh*
