Size Doesn't Matter*

So, I have a new theory on our fashion industry.

Are you ready for it?!?!

I think the industry is making our sizes smaller.
Like a TRUE 8 is a 6 or even a 4.  Or a 12 might be a 10 or 8.

Seriously.

Listen to this.

I've been shopping for a few spring/summer clothing items.
Well, more like a new wardrobe due to losing weight.
And I've been searching for deals.

I found three GREAT pairs of shorts at Goodwill for $12!!.
I was so extremely pumped.
And it truly was my first time shopping there for myself.
Well, they were all size 8--mind you this was my old size before kids.

SO, then I start looking in the stores.
JC Penney, Target, Maurices, Kohls.
ALL of them are anywhere from a 3/4 to 7/8.
Now, how does that make sense??

Goodwill sizes are obviously older styles/brands.
And the items in the stores now are new.

What are they doing???

And WHY??

I'm not complaining.

Just dumbfounded.

And wondering if anyone else has experienced this lately.

I would never imagine myself buying shorts in those sizes.
Since I don't think I EVER wore that size.
I'm pretty sure that in 6th grade I was already a size 10.

Random thought for the week:
Oh and go check out Goodwill!
