What size are you?

Your answer should be something like “Well, I’m a small at this store, a medium here, and an extra small at this boutique.” There have been many studies to show that sizes are different depending on the store. I can’t tell you why, but it does make things harder.

Smaller women have to deal with XS vs S (and yes, it bothers them to have to get an XS). Then there are women who have to go up to a 20 in formal wear when they are naturally a 14. It’s not fair for any of us (including the guys). But it can teach us something … don’t be a number or letter.

When you go shopping keep one rule in mind. Grab what you THINK you are, and grab a size up and down from that to try on. Ignore the size you buy, focus on what makes you feel and look awesome. When you have to go up a size, remember that pair of jeans you bought that was a size smaller just a few months ago. It all comes out in the wash.

Your natural beauty comes out when you feel great. Focus on the feeling, not some stupid tag.
