Buying pants when you are short and fat is almost impossible unless you want to either 1) spend a ton of money or 2) look like a matron.

Also, I desperately need a pair of brown knee high boots.

Pants and Boots.

I don't necessarily feel short or fat (ok, maybe a little on the latter, but I continue to try to say "whatevs" to myself), but I would say that 97% of pants-trying-on makes me feel like I look like a matron. I hate how if you fall outside of a very thin range between sizes 4 and 6, things are just not cut properly for mass audiences. Size 6 two years ago was the only time I've felt like I could find a ton of stuff.

And I want some of those boots too. I'd also like some black ones to replace the ones my ex-husband tossed in a fit of anger one night. Want, want, want. I'd suggest the StupidMall for a field trip this weekend, but, gods -- Labor Day Crowds? Eek.

Please be kind to yourself and blame the stupid clothing designers who declare lanky and undernourished to be the ideal and ignore the regular bodies of regular people.

In contrast, judging from the sizes I find commonly available, the men's fashion world is increasingly catering to the short and fat. The waist measurement is not supposed to be bigger than the leg length, in my universe, but this seems difficult for the public to understand.

Regardless, you seem to have been given carte blanche by the universe to spend a bunch of money on nice clothes. Enjoy it!

BTW, I trust you implicitly to desire brown knee high boots that do not make you look like an elf (http://www.goldmountainmining.com/knee-high-boot.html).
