Yeah, I'm going to need that in a SMALLER size.

I don’t care what anyone says about it. I love vanity sizing. Love it. Love it like you could not imagine. If that makes me vain, I don’t care. Why don’t I care? Because, it also makes me a size smaller.

I decided to do a little winter clothes shopping at lunch today at the greatest store on Earth, Ann Taylor Loft. I went in for one little wrap sweater. I swear to you. I ended up with a bunch of other things and even a newly approved Ann Taylor Loft charge card. How did this happen? Vanity sizing.

Now if you have no idea what in sam hell I am talking about, vanity sizing is the practice of making sizes larger so people feel better about themselves because they’re wearing a smaller size or staying the same size, when in reality, we’re all just getting fat and people are messing with our minds. But, you know what? IT WORKS. I’m feeling very cute right now. And tiny. Tiny and cute. Maybe a little sexy even but I don’t want to get carried away with myself here.

I know many people would say that it’s horrible and it just perpetuates the idea that in order to feel sexy and beautiful, you need to be a smaller size. I say, that’s their problem. I am going to choose to feel very cute. Maybe a tiny bit on the shallow side. Maybe. But just a tiny bit. Really tiny. Like how tiny my butt feels.
