First of all, they have either size 0 because 90% of the woman here are petite without boobs or guts… or they have size 16 because oversized shirts are a fashion trend here. I fit in neither.
Second, depending on where you are, you can’t try things on. My birth mother bought me 3 shirts today and only 1 I’ll actually wear in public.
Third, last time I went shopping, I had to by XL jeans… that was a self-esteem booster.
Fourth, the sales people follow you around the store with good intentions, but it’s annoying and you feel pressure to buy something.
Fifth, a shirt looks cute from afar and then I realize it has a huge picture of Mickey Mouse on it.
I now have an unexpected longing for the MOA (Mall of America).
(guess which ones are mine! hehe..)
Birth mother and I went shopping today. I loved it when she bought pants and shoes a couple sizes smaller than me. That was another self-esteem pick me upper. She paid for everything which I didn’t want but I never win that battle… and deep down I’m glad since only 1 of the shirts will be a keeper. We went to the Ewha Women’s University area and shopped till we dropped. Then had dinner at “Steak Billy” where Korean women were dressed in pink dresses, white aprons, and bonnets on their head. I am still trying to figure out what nationality they were trying to portray.
All in all, it was a good day and we even had mini-conversations which broke some silence.
To cap the night off, we parted ways and I got a public "goodbye" butt slap.
