Surely I don't need a bigger size!!!!

For any woman reading my blog I am sure this has happened to you at least once....

I decided on the weekend to run into Edgars quickly and buy myself a pair of black tights. In my mind this would not be a long procedure at all, except I got a little side tracked in the store...there was a really nice short skirt to wear over the tights as well as various different colour's, styles and so on. So my 5 minute run into Edgars ended up taking a little longer than expected (much to my husband's horror). He lost interest after 5 minutes and said I should call when I'm done (so typical).

So off I want to the change rooms with 3 pairs of tights and a skirt that looked like it belonged to my 16 year old niece (yes I thought that it may look good on me, how foolish!) I stood in a long cue waiting to get into the change room, sweating my ass off in the Durban humidity. I finally got into the change room, stripped down and started pulling the black tights up me leg. I think I made it to just under my knee cap when I realised that they were so tight that I would have to cut them off if I ventured any further! I then proceeded to try the skirt on which looked totally ridiculous! So my shopping spree was a complete failure!!!!

I don't exactly consider myself to be large. I know that I could probably do with dropping a few kilos and toning up a bit, but I really did not think that I was large! After the "tights debacle" I am a bit concerned. You see, I had a choice between a small/medium pair or a medium/large pair, so naturally I went for the small/medium. I am only about 156cm tall....so the medium/large would have had to be pulled up under my arm pits to look anywhere near normal! So with the smaller pair not going anywhere higher than my knee and the larger pair being so long, I walked out the store with nothing! My husband, being the good man that he is, insisted that the tights were obviously made for small Chinese people and that I should not be concerned at all that they did not fit. So, instead of getting depressed about it, I am going to go with that theory!!!

I say we boycott small Chinese made tights...because surely I don't actually need a bigger size!!!!!
