Funny at the Thrift Store Today

KathyL · 09-05-2012, 04:45 PM

I went shopping for jeans today. Found a pair that was marked a size 4/6. 6's fit but tend to be loose & a little baggy while 4's generally fit much better though sometimes a little snug. So I added them to my pile to try on. In the dressing room I checked the manufacturer's tag to see what brand they were.....and the tag said they were a size 0! There was no way these were a 0. I tried them on. Twice. I really, really wanted to buy them not only because I liked them but because of that silly size tag even though I knew it was wrong. But darn if they weren't baggy on me! LOL

Regardless of that tag, it sounds like you are wonderfully slim these days.

I used to watch the Jerry Seinfeld show, and he would scratch out the size number on his jeans and put in a lower number with a pen. I think he changed them from a 32 to a 31.
