Fashion Confession

If it was socially acceptable to wear pajamas everywhere, I would. I mean, cute ones, but still, definitely pajamas. Lounge pants, t shirt, flip flops in the summer. Lounge pants, hoodie, and boots in the winter. That's what I'm talking about.

I really just don't CARE about fashion. I'd rather be comfortable. I'm not trying to impress anyone, and most of the styles of clothing that are in these days just don't look right on me. I'm not built like most girls - I have big bones. I don't mean that in the way that fat people mean it when they are just too lazy to exercise, either. I have mother-effing linebacker shoulders. I'm not a petite little flower that can't play rough; I've got curves in all the right places but I could probably kick your ass, too. You don't spend all your time with 1200 lb animals who have walnuts for brains and not learn a thing or two about defending your personal space.

They make clothes for skinny people and they make clothes for big people, but they really don't make clothes for people like me. And yes, clothes come in my size, but they were not designed for someone my size. If I get a shirt small enough to fit me well around my stomach, my boobs stretch it out or pop out altogether. If I get a shirt that fits through the bust, I have no shape whatsoever because it is way too baggy around the middle. And they never, ever fit through my shoulders.

Dresses do NOT fit me. And lucky for me (that's sarcasm for those of you following along) it is wedding season, and for whatever reason every couple I know has decided this is the year to get married. This requires the purchasing of multiple fancy outfits and as I've already discussed, that is a) not my personal style and b) very unlikely to fit me. I've been putting it off as long as possible because it's really, really not fun.

You know what I like to shop for? Jeans. I know exactly which brands fit me the right way and what size to get. No stress and no frustration, just cute jeans. You know what I like to buy even more than jeans? T shirts with baseball players' names and numbers on the back. Next on my list is CJ Wilson from the Rangers, and I bet he has no trouble buying clothes that fit him, if you know what I mean.

Here is a picture of me in one of my favorite outfits of all time:

Okay, you caught me. I have no attachment whatsoever to that pair of khakis, I am fairly certain they used to be work pants and are covered in bleach. I'm not THAT sloppy. But I do love the hoodie, especially to ride in, especially on trail rides, because it so fantastically colorful. And oh so comfortable. As far as comfortable is concerned, you just can't beat a hoodie. It's like wearing a hug.

Not everything I own is tie-dyed, either. I adore polo shirts and have a lot of fun with cute sweaters. But select any day of the year at random and you are going to find me dressed in jeans, wearing a t-shirt I picked up on some trip, and comfortable footwear. Because at the end of the day, if I can't wear it to the barn, I really just can't wear it.
