It's a Small World

Yesterday I went to the mall to find a replacement for my favorite jeans. I love my jeans, but I've worn them so many times they're faded and frayed. I found the exact same Calvin Klein jeans, in the exact same size. Only they didn't fit.

Here's the surprise: the pair of jeans in my size was too big. Which is strange, because I haven't lost weight since buying the last pair.

Thinking the first jeans had been mis-marked, I tried on another pair.  Nope, still too big. I tried on a pair that was one size smaller. They fit. Perfectly.

Since my measurements haven't changed, this could only mean one thing: the company is making their jeans bigger.

Do the people at Calvin Klein think women are that gullible?  Do they think they can trick women into believing we're a smaller size? And that we're so shallow it will make us buy their clothes?

Let's put it this way: I didn't buy that pair of jeans.

I bought two.
