The other day, I was in H&M's fitting room trying on some stuff. I couldn't help but overhear a conversation between a daughter and a mom. Here's how the conversation went:
Mom: I think you need to go up a size in those pants.
Daughter: No! I'm a size 4.
Mom: Well, lets give the 6 a try anyways.
Daughter: Why? Are you calling me fat?!?
At this point I couldn't help but step out of my fitting room to see if the mom was really right or just being uptight. After seeing the daughter in those pants, I was thinking to myself girl you need to listen to your mom because I can see panty lines and your muffin top.
Daughter: No! I'm a size 4.
Mom: Well, lets give the 6 a try anyways.
Daughter: Why? Are you calling me fat?!?

What made me think of that story at H&M are these white jeggings I'm wearing. I remember buying them a couple of years ago at FP. I tried on the size 24 (my normal size) and thought to myself, damn these are hella tight even though I can fit into them. I really liked these jeggings and decided to try on the size 25. It felt and looked much better and since white pants are so unforgiving, I thought it would only be smart to size up. I think a lot of people are stuck on the number. What they don't realize is that it's okay to stray from your normal size. Every brand and retailer have their own sizing/fit so you're not going to be the same size across the board.
Outfit Details:AT Petite Wrap Front Silk Print Top. Size 00P. AT's current promo is 40% off sale items and this blouse is a sale item! No code needed.
I actually really like the material, the wrap front and the print of the shirt. The fit is tiny bit wide and could be a tad slimmer. That part doesn't bother me at all. What bothers me more is the hook & eye closures on the side and on the wrap front of the shirt (to keep the shirt from opening). Because the shirt is loose all over, it allows the eyes & hook closures to become undone very easily. The hook & eye closures are also very small and it's so time consuming to hook them all up and then to have to do it again when they get unhooked. Pain in the butt! Because of the construction flaw, I decided to return the top.
