People obviously thought to manufacture apparel for large people, but NEVER for short people. The simple reason? Because even if short people want to buy blothes meant for tall people, they can just do alteration! Simple isn't it?

NO IT ISN'T.

I am never, and I mean, NEVER, going to buy pants(or jeans) again. I'm so over picking through that irritating rack trying to find the ones I want. I was picking through humongous piles of jeans today, because I wanted one with a flare at the bottom(since I LIKE flares, I don't care if the trend is skinny jeans) and I found one that felt pretty soft so I went to try it on and I happened to pick the correct size as well, so I was kind of chuffed.

Then, of course, doesn't come the part where I actually BUY the jeans, but the part where I have to FOLD UP THE BOTTOM because it is too freaking long for short people with short legs like me, and I needed to see how it would look like after alteration. But then, after folding up the bottom, the flare is gone. Like, GONE. I'm so short, that to alter the jeans to my size, the flare has to be CUT OFF.

Like, WHAT IS THE POINT OF CHOOSING FLARE JEANS WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THE FLARE ANYMORE???

So in the end, I didn't buy it. Even though it was 20% storewide at LEVI'S.

I've decided. I'm not going to buy pants anymore, picking through them is too time consuming.

I'm going with shorts now. NOT DENIM MINI SHORTS, thank you. Just normal cotton, earthy-coloured, slightly-above-knee shorts. If I get boots, I'll wear them with boots. And the reason why shorts are so awesome for short people like me, is that even if I pick shorts that are considered short(since most of the apparel are catered for tall people), they aren't that short on me! Plus, shorts are way more comfortable anyway.

I'm going to Bugis to check out the boots population there. Someday.
