And! And! Apparently my payroll information was on a stolen laptop, and now I get to deal with even more fun credit/banking/possible fraud issues this year!
SUCK IT, FRIDAY.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hate you. I'm still self-medicating through clothes shopping. Keyhole top and a random Banana Republic sale top.
Hmmph.
Got an elevator compliment on the colour of my top. Yay jewel blue.
Today's skirt isn't a long black one, because it's mid-calf and it has a smattering of sequins.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I do like the looks of that keyhole top. Hmmm....
Also, H&M is notorious for requiring a size up, which is why I mostly buy skirts there. I mean, I don't need to go up a size in most skirts, which maintains the fiction in my head of what size I really am. Like the Ann Taylor Loft pants I'm about to return -- it's not that they're a size too small, it's that they don't fit right! Uh huh.

I've fit in everything from a 10 to a 16 there. wackyo. So if I see something I like the look of there I try it in a number of sizes.

Yay for the cafeteria--usually, their Friday selection pretty much blows (either buffalo wings bar, or fried food bar, or maybe southern cooking bar), but today, they had their Indian food selection! I got my usual chicken tikki masala with some naan, and had them give me a side of mixed veggies to boost up the vitamin intake.

I have this idea that you're smaller than me but maybe it's just that I know you're younger and, actually, I have no idea what size you are!
I think maybe it was just the H&M store I was at, but the sizes were all ridiculously small. I am a little overweight, so going in and finding everything in sizes 0-4 does not really boost the ol' self-confidence.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
H&M is notorious for requiring a size up, which is why I mostly buy skirts there.
H&M say they go by European sizing, which is a full size up from US sizing. It's pretty consistent for me.
Also, all three of our H&Ms are within 5 blocks of each other. I go to the huyuge one to see what styles I like, and then go to one of the other two to actually find my size, since the big one tends to only have the wee tiny sizes.
