Everyone is against me

I went to Old Navy today to see what was happening. I like Old Navy b/c their clothes are reasonably priced and quirky and fun to wear. I can always find something I like and my credit card with them is always being used. So, I found some very cute tank tops with some St. Patty's day icons. I start looking for my size and oh well what a surprise they had plenty of small, extra smalls and more than enough extra extra smalls. I think those are called youth sizes but anyway. Fine. Can't fit in to the cute St Patty's day wife beater. Gotta move on. Found a nice yellow shirt with some detailing. Oh what's this? They have plenty of 2X and a whole bunch of 3X and 4X. Ok can't fit in to the "plus" size clothing although in most fashionable society I am considered a plus size because I'm over a size 10. (Consequently, I should be at least a size 12 for goodness sake I'm 5'10" tall.) Fine whatever, I'm only in the third aisle. Hey wow some very cute panties with ducks and clovers. Ok where is my size. Again plenty of smalls and lots of mediums. I could fit in to a medium but I don't like when my bikini's turn in to thongs so I need to find a large. Now mind you, I do not have a big butt but some time in the last 4 years my hips grew out. I think they call those child-bearing hips and so I guess mother nature thinks I am ready to bake. I say go fuck yourself mother nature!! Fine no cute panties for me. But what's this, the multi colored flip-flop's that I adore and by every year. Let's see a size 9 must be here because well they have rows and rows of 6 and 7 and a ton of 10's. Okay the last pair of 9 in the shade of pink and it's mine. Oh but wait some idiot let their kid loose and they got a hold of the pink flip-flop's, as they must have known I was coming, and got them all dirty. So fine! I will buy the 8's (which fit quite well actually.) What's the moral of this story? Well that maybe Old Navy should re-think their sizing. While they do carry more sizes than any other store their ratio of XL to XXS is way out of wack. They wouldn't have to put all the XXS on clearance if they carried some more XL. Apparently I am not as fast as the other girls who wear XL as they have beaten me to the store and have cleaned out all the styles I like. Don't even get me started on the bathing suits. For those of you who haven't noticed I am a full chested gal and well I require a big brazier to fully cover the twins. Well you'd think a 2X would do it but I have come to realize that a 2X in t-shirts is NO WHERE NEAR a 2X in a bikini top. OR a sports bra. I guess big boobed girls don't need support when they work out, only the A cups. I still managed to spend $61.00 today but it was a difficult journey with many moments of me cursing Old Navy under my breath and rolling my eyes. I will continue to shop there but it will be rare that I don't mutter the words "it figures" at least twice a visit.
