Ode to Womanhood

An evolution in shopping presents itself to me. I must say farewell to my denial.

I can no longer wear juniors clothes.

You have been a good friend these last 13 years.

Gone are the days when your cute slogans and inexpensive prices inticed me.

For now, I am changed. Your curveless seams can no longer hold me in.

“Welcome to womanhood” – at least in clothing – “Anne Jackson,” the stores beckon to me.

A new beginning arrives. But I must warn you…”mom jeans….” you have no place here.

For those of you (most of you) who still shop the juniors section..I can see how this impacts your self esteem. Sizes in the juniors are about labeled about 6 sizes too small. Meaning, if you are really a size 9/10, in the purest sense of clothing (let’s go by Gap standards)….you will have to wear a 15/16 in juniors. How ridiculous is that?! Just say no. Don’t believe the lie! :)
