Wherein I talk about my {awkward} body.

So I love my body. I won't deny it. I don't think I would change a thing about it.

I will, however, admit that it is very awkwardly shaped. I have a looooonnggg torso. Like incredibly long. And normal sized legs. When I was in high school I compared my legs with my friend Cairo who was probably a foot shorter than me, and our hips met at the same place!

Because of my long torso, I have an innate ability to not find shirts that fit me. Until now!

I was shopping in the Old Town Shops downtown that other day and I saw some plain t-shirts that were pretty long. I tried one on and it fit perfectly! I was super excited because usually if a shirt is long enough, it's super wide. I bought three, one purple, one black, and one white, and I'm extremely excited. I accidentally dried it, which I NEVER do when I find a shirt that fits, but it still fits! I was excited. {In case you couldn't tell by all the !!!'s} They were 3 for $20, so they were a steal anyways.

Another thing that's hard to find is pants. For some reason the clothing companies think that just because someone is skinny it means that they are short. Most definitely not the case. I can never seem to find pants that are long enough. Until now! {Are you seeing a trend?}

Vince and I went to the mall {probably the second time I've been there since I quit Lady Foot Locker 3 years ago} and boy has it changed. I mean, they have an entire store dedicated to Vans! We went there to go to Zumies so we could look for some new snowboarding gloves for our Silverton trip in two weeks {!!} and wound up in the Vans store. I've been wanting new shoes for a few weeks, and I decided ow was a perfect time. So I bought some black slip ons...

Slip ons are perfect. I don't even like to brush my hair, so you can assume I don't like to tie my shoes.

As I was trying on shoes, Vince was looking at the jackets. Now, Vince has TONS of jackets, and nice ones at that. He loves jackets and always seems to need a new one. As he was looking at jackets, the sales lady said that all the sale items were buy one get one half off. So he decided to get a jacket and a pair of pants.

I looked at the pants as well in the mens section and saw that they had size 30, my size. I tried them on and fell in love. They aren't too tight, they are the perfect length, they are bootcut, and they were $30 OFF, meaning they were only $19! Lovely. I decided to buy them.

As I was walking to the register I saw a sweater that looked like it might fit, and it did! It was $20, too, but it was half off. Meaning I got a perfect pair of pants and sweater for $30. Score!

Vince and I were both pretty stoked on our purchases and saved over $100.

When we got home, I realized we bought the exact same pair of pants, though, just different sizes. 

How cute.

{Umm, his ass doesn't look so weird in real life, it's actually pretty sexy.}

So ya, today ended up being a good day. 

To ensure that you have a good ending to your day as well, I shall leave you with this:

When I was having Vince take a picture of my outfit, I decided to mess around, and OH MY GOODNESS, this is my favorite picture of me. 

I LOOK LIKE A FREAKINg DINOSAUR!!! 

Every time I've seen this picture I laugh until the tears start rolling.
