Fashion and animals. Exciting!
Went up to Gabe's today to see if I could find some decent shorts. See, I have great legs, but my thighs also rub together. It's lame and I'm a pudgy fatty, but whatever. Obviously, jeans are no issue, but I can't really wear anything that allows my skin to rub together because, of course, it will chafe. And that sucks. Also, hurts. So all the cutoffs I have from jeans I've worn through are super short. They're laze-around-the-house-maybe-check-the-mail sort of shorts, not -go-outside-and-do-stuff shorts.
So I've been trying to find some that are long enough to avoid my fatty thighs from rubbing together. I like these styles:
But it almost NEVER FAILS that I'll try on a pair with any manner of tapered bottom (akin to the last two) and they will not fit over my calves. They're my size, sometimes a size or two up (because girl's jeans are never the correct size), but the won't go past my calves, let alone even consider my thighs. I don't think my calves are that muscular (they're almost all muscle due to walking/biking) or large, so...what gives? Are they just made stupidly? Can only girls with toothpicks for legs fit them? Can only preteen girls fit them? I don't get it.
Here's a pretty good example of my legs:
I mean, I'm obviously not bizarrely mis-proportioned or anything, so I'm not sure why shorts are really hating on me lately. I mean, worst case scenario, I buy some decent-fitting jeans from Goodwill and cut them off, but I also hate to destroy a pair of decent jeans like that. Augh.
I also want to gripe about empire wait dresses making me look pregnant. I like the style of them, they're super cute and casual. I like clothes that keep me cool in the summer. It doesn't matter how cute they are, I always look pregnant in them and that is not a look I want to rock.
Don't get me wrong, they look cute. On everyone else but me.
What I did acquire from Gabe's was two shirts, one of which is this magnificent hipster piece of art:
Tony also found a bunch of cool Red Pil Phobias tees and I got a coimetrophobia (fear of cemeteries) one. He picked up a few of those and some of Red Pil Artifacts shirts that are subtle and look really nice. He had a really good haul and got the Tubes of Mars, Mind Control, Moon Trenches, and Wiltshire June '04 (I believe) shirts. I kept eyeing the Freemasons shirt and I still kind of really want it. Maybe I'll swing up there today and snag one.
They're super soft and comfortable, too. While I wouldn't pay full price for a tee from them (I rarely pay more than $10 for a shirt unless I'm buying it online, Gabe's is one of those places that sells clothing that's been cycled out from retailers, so all those tees are priced, like, $3-$4), I'd still reccomend the quality.
Now, here's some pictures of our dumb animals:
