If you are one of those people who goes to a department store, picks out two armfuls of clothes on hangers, and then has an impossible time trying to decide which to buy because they all fit you perfectly . . . then you might not relate to the latest Facebook post from IMomSoHard comedian Kristin Hensley [1]. But if you're of the other 99.9 percent of moms out there, you most definitely will.
Alongside a full-length selfie, Kristin admitted that "shopping sucks" and that she "had to try on dresses today and nothing fit." What made it such a terrible experience is that she's not an anomaly.
"I'm not big," she wrote. "I'm not small. I'm a size 10 (an 8 at The Gap) and most of its in my middle because I had babies. I run. I lift weights and I'm strong. And yet these f*cking dresses made me feel weak, misshapen, and lumpy, which in all honesty I kinda am."
She left the fitting room discouraged. "Then I got home, looked at pictures of my kids, smelled the chicken I had cooking on the stove, and poured a glass of wine," she wrote.
Thankfully, that wine helped Kristin realize something we all could stand to remember more often: "Because in the end, its just a dress. And I look better in pants anyway."
