What's Your Size?

You jump out of bed, I say jump but your more likely to roll out of bed. Unless your one of those health freaks with bags of energy in the morning, if you are I hate you *rubs eye's while yawning looking like a zombie. So yeah you jump/roll out of bed and decide that today you will treat yourself, maybe you have just been paid or just fancy adding something you don't need to your over flowing wardrobe. 

You head to the high street and wildly grab at the sparkly things, boyfriend jeans or that dress that you have been dreaming about all month. Than naturally you head to the fitting room and after a bit of a wait your let in, it's like a V.I.P club except there's no drink and smells of feet. Foot odour aside your excited to try things on, and get to a till ASAP to make all these beautiful things yours.

That's until you realise, hang on a bloody second why doesn't it fit?! Check the tag, you must have picked up the wrong size. Flipping the tag you see it is your size, have you put on some extra weigh  *note to self if your offered Krisp Kreme than just say your full ....Er no, you have your size on and it fits just fine so what's going on. 

It seems that sizing across the high street is getting a little out of hand, I say a little when in reality I can be almost five different sizes in shops on the high street. It's mainly jeans and trousers that seem to have 'Where's Wally' style sizing. I take issue when in the same shop, their trousers fit me fine, but their jeans don't. Now don't take it wrong, I'm the type of girl I'll wear the size that fits, I'm not sucking it in so I can fit in 'MY' size I want clothing that fits. I just get so fed up of the amount of time, I now spend having to queue again to try on a heap of other sizes.

Of course I'm aware that different brands, use different sizing models to cut their clothing. At the same time, there is a standard which clearly is not being followed. A standard that states the measurements clothing should be cut by. Also I'm sorry to say it's not just clothing now, shoes are also starting to go down the same 'guess which size I am' route. When did this happen and why didn't I get the memo. So I ask you, where is the worst place to shop for sizing? Also where are folks getting it right? I know this must effect you lot too, so let me know I can't be the only one who is playing this guessing game.
