Ha. I was skipping down the street on my way to work this morning like my life is a fucking Menthos commercial. Next fall will somebody please please PLEASE hogtie me to the doctors and forcefeed me some antidepressants? I don't know that they will work but I seriously have to start trying something, anything to break the cycle of feeling that shitty every winter. I look back now and I can't even imagine why everything looked so bleak two short months ago when my life is filled with all the WOO in the world.
Or I could just be bugfuck crazy.
I'm not particularly opposed to either option really.
I'm remarkably easy to live with like that.
Ha.
So I got this dumb book from the liberry with tips on how to look younger. Which is silly given that I'm only 29 and all but you know, I like to be proactive. And while most of it was super enlightening like 'get botox' and 'don't get soccer mom hair' there were 2 things that I found helpful, especially with my currently constantly changing size.
They sent a perfect size 8 fit model into stores and had her try on designer pants to see which sizes fit. The results translate to skirts and fitted dresses too:
Banana Republic - size 4, Cut big, drop down 2 sizes
Club Monaco - 6, Cut big, drop down 1 size
Donna Karan - 6, Cut big, drop down 1 size
Gap - 6, Cut big, drop down 1 size
Armani - 6, Cut big, drop down 1 size
Gucci - 8, perfect fit
H&M - 10, cut small, go up 1 size
J. Crew - 6, Cut big, go down 1 size
Ralph Lauren - 8, perfect fit
Also I never for the life of me could figure out how the hell jean sizes work...
Jean size to Regular size equivalent:
24 = 0
25 = 0-2
26 = 2
27 = 4
28 = 6
29 = 8
30 = 8-10
31 = 10-12
32 = 12
33 = 12-14
34 = 14
And one great quote that I wish I'd read when I was still single:
"After all these years I've finally figured it out. If a man is romantically interested in you, completely ignore every word coming out of his mouth and only pay attention to what he actually does."
Happy Thursday!
