pattiez's blog

Now, I know I lost a LOT of weight since two years ago... it's kind of nice, but I know there's still areas to work on. I'm not huge, but I could be more toned. I digress.

I went to Aritzia today (oh em gee, Pattie's turning into a regular girl?!?). There was a top I wanted to try and the sales associate asked me if I needed help for a size. I asked for a medium and a large to see which fits better (even though I know a large will be loose on me). She grabbed a small for me. Now, i was wearing a dress today and their mirrors are outside of the change room; I needed pants. She grabbed me a pair of 25" jeans. Yeah... thanks but no thanks. She wouldn't let me go a size up x_x*

Needless to say, I could not fit into the jeans. I could if I didn't eat all day and if my derriere was a tad smaller. No way on earth would I give up my toned butt to fit into a size 25.

The top wasn't that bad, and I did end up getting the small. It fitted just right and I was happy. Plus, a petite sales associate thought I'm around her size. Made my day. Now time to curl up in my bed with a book. (I went to the library for the first time in years!)

*tear* It was a good run and we'll just leave it to that.

So anyway, dire times lead to spoiling myself with guilty pleasures such as... UK Cosmos! (I've been on a UK&US Cosmopolitan diet as of this year--no more purchasing magazines.) I was flipping through my first Cosmo in months and guess what I see...


!!!

It's so cute and it's "only" $175US at Macy's. Right -_-'' Why am I looking at stuff when I'm temporarily unemployed until next season?
