A Makeover

Do you like my new look? I figured with it being Fall and all it was time for a new wardrobe. Of course I really wanted the new wardrobe for myself but that's not gonna happen right now--so my blog got a new outfit instead! It's almost as fun as getting a makeover for myself:) My blog really wanted this other outfit. With a super retro owl on it!! I helped her try it on but it didn't quite fit her. There were some tears and she vowed to go on a diet right away. I tried to tell her that it would all be ok and that she was perfect the way she is, but she's insisting that her sentences are too long and that's why the owl dress wouldn't fit. I tried to tell her that the dress was just made too small, you know they are making clothes smaller these days, but she didn't believe me. It's true though, I think the clothing industry is trying to mess with women's heads. You know you wear a size 4 before you have children. Then you have kids and never quite fit into your 4's again, so you concede and buy size 8's. Then the next thing you know the clothing industry is changing things up. You decide you want a cute new dress so you head to the store and grab an armload of the latest styles. All excited and giddy about your cute finds you wonder how you'll ever choose. Off to the dressing room you go!! When none of the size 8 dresses exactly fit the only conclusion you can draw is that the designer's have made ALL the size 8's smaller. You know the new 8 is really a 4!!!! There is no other explanation. It has absolutely positively nothing to do with the fact that you now live down the street from Krispy Kreme. Oh, did I go off on a tangent about myself? Sorry. I need to head off to the store now to buy my blog a pint of Ben and Jerry's. To make her feel better you know? About how the clothing industry is tricking her into making her think she's fat. Ben and Jerry's always makes everything better;)
