When Sara was here way back in January (that seems so long ago), we went to Target. I think we were there mainly so Sara could give it (Target) a big "I miss you" hug, but we also purchased a few items. As it was still freezing cold here way back in January, Sara purchased some tights. I thought I would enjoy owning some tights also, so I picked up a package of Target tights and checked the back to see what size I should buy to fit, well, my size.
Here's what I saw:
For those of you who can't read Blurry, here's a translation (I'm near-fluent in Blurry):
4'11"-5'5" 100-130 lbs Small/Med
5'5"-5'11" 130-175 lbs Med/Tall
5'5"-5'11" 190-240 lbs 1X/2X (I'm not positive it says 240. It's 2something though)
Back in January, I weighed about 184 lbs (I'm not sure of the exact number, but I'm too lazy to look it up.)
Do you see the problem? The tights skip from 175 pounds to 190 pounds, with no size offered for those weighing between 176 lbs and 189 lbs. Yeah--those who are under 4'11" or over 5'11" and under 100 lbs or over 240 lbs are also tightsless in this situation, but at least there are specialty stores for them (or the girls' department for those under 100 lbs). What am I to do? Where's my neither-here-nor-there store? I haven't done any research since to see if all tights have similar size gaps. Now that spring is here (kinda), I have no use for tights.
And now I have a goal for this fall '09 (other than somehow acquiring several millions of dollars [which I will totally share with you--I'll at least buy you some tights]): to fall below 175 pounds so I can get me some of them fancy Target tights.
