Wishing I Were Average
In terms of shoe size. In one of my earliest posts, I mentioned that I have trouble finding clothes that fit because I'm what the clothing manufacturers refer to as 'petite' (i.e., another nice way of saying that I'm vertically challenged). Well, I also have what my friends refer to as tiny feet, as well as short toes and low arches. Which means that I have trouble finding shoes that fit. On Wednesday, I ordered a brand new pair of Chaco ZX/1 sport sandals from shoes.com in a size 6, the smallest size that they had in stock. I was all excited because they're supposed to be really comfortable. And I got a great deal on them using a discount from the upromise website. Unfortunately, when I tried them on yesterday evening, they were too big. Huh! According to the Chaco website, the sandals do come in a size 5. So, I checked for a smaller size at Amazon, REI, shoemall and shoebuy. No such luck. Oh, to be an average sized American female...sigh.

Yeah, the trend for men seems to be going in the opposite direction towards bigger and taller sizes. My ex-boyfriend used to wear youth sizes because his waist was really tiny. Of course, that made me more than a tad bit self-conscious about my pant size :-)
I'm uh gravitionally challenged. I have a hard time finding any pants that are long enough and smaller than a size 6. I use to wear young men's pants, 28x34 (longer inseam than my dad). Thankfully some women's pants are getting longer.
