I’ve Been Wearing the Wrong Clothes All my Life!

“A good friend shields you from the storm.” – Chinese proverb

Thank goodness for friends. So apparently, I’ve been dressing in the wrong size for decades. This is what happens when you don’t have any sisters…and you demonstrate a penchant for wearing free T-shirts and loose jeans in your high school years. Anyway, I needed to spruce up my wardrobe for an interview on a local cable channel show, so I asked my friends for advice. I experienced several days of clothing hurricanes; a storm of blazers, cardigans, tank tops, pants, and skirts pelted me. Conversations like the following occurred:

Me: “Are these pants too tight?”

Friend: “Um, no. They’re supposed to fit snugly around your legs.”

Friend: “Oh, I never knew you were this size!”

What did I end up wearing after my fashion makeover? A red cardigan over a white tank top, paired with a black and white houndstooth skirt. If you really want to see the outfit, then you’ll have to watch the episode when it airs on Torrance CitiCABLE 3. I’ll also provide a link to the Youtube video, so look out for it over the next few weeks.
