But now, with an active 9 month old and living in a humid subtropical climate, I need a pair of shorts. Badly. So I finally stopped putting it off and went shopping.
I looked through the entire department, found the longest pair of shorts that I could and tried them on. Now, I'm not a prude, nor do I necessarily have anything against short-shorts, but I'm really not into feeling like my butt cheeks are hanging out or that I have a massive wedgie.
Failure.
Notice the wedgie in the mirror. And oh my goodness, I have such white bird legs. So, I glance around, making sure that no college students are watching and I tiptoe into the Women's department. I lithely duck behind racks as I peek at the clothing. Ah, hah, a decent pair of shorts!

Uh oh.
I'm all nice, mature, and modest, until my shorts completely FALL OFF. I have exhibitionist tendencies, but if I really wanted to show off my undies, I'd just not wear pants. The smallest size they make are only about 7 inches too big. I don't think it would be possible to take them in that much. So I give up on the shorts. And I find this...

A ONESIE!

You know you want an ass-view.
All I have to say is, WOW. Are these really going to catch on? I hear these are popular in France?
Please explain this to me!!!
Overall, shopping was a failure. But I got a few laughs, and wedgies out of it.
Edit: This all took place at Target.

Oh...my...garsh. That is hilarious. A onsie? Where did you find that? I know that I am behind in the fashion world (obviously, way behind), but seriously? They are actually making and distributing those...to wear before Halloween? lol.....So funny. This was a great post!
I have the same problem! I seriously have to shop in the little girls dept.! They are all that fit! I shop off the same rack as my daughter...she's size 10 in girls and I'm size 14 in girls! We'll be sharing next year! I hate shopping for clothes!!

I have to say that is quite hysterical.......the onsie! mwa ha ha ha!
Ewww!! Are you serious about the onesie?! haha Wow. So not attractive. Thanks for the entertaining post. :)
WTF is that onesie thing? seriously. Okay, and how cute are you!?!?! You are so tiny and gorgeous! You will look great in anything (except that onesie thing because that is just wrong....sooooo not your fault).
haha I can not believe that onesie thing!! I do the same as Rebekah and buy most of my pants from the little girls dept. They fit me much better AND they are usually cheaper so that's a plus!
Thank you SO very much for giving me a great laugh when I needed it most this afternoon. The onesie - man, that's too much!
Where on earth did you find that? I've never seen anything like it!
Best of luck on your next shopping trip. Great post!
bahahaha! aww! try old navy. last summer they had shorts in all different colors and lengths and they were like $15 i think. i bought four pair because they fit soooo well.
also, i really hope i look like you after i have a baby (one day, haha)!!
oh my gosh who came up with that onesie??? that is just awful!!! your too cute!
This is hilarious! I'm glad you left a comment on my nursery so I could find your blog.
Your post is so funny! I can completely relate, as I embarked on the same adventure just last week. I ended up at Target also and I found these great shorts. Did you try the Mossimo Chambray Shorts? I ended up buying them in indigo and white.
What!!?? Too funny! Good luck finding something fabulous!
ahahahahahah!
ok but my laughter was just stabbed to death with the awful thought of MYSELF in that onesie. ew.
Hilarity! I love it :) (Not the fact that you didn't find anything, but the fact that you documented this journey to share with us!)
Seriously laughed out loud at the onesie! Thank you for that!!

Very funny! And a onesie?! WHAT?!
I had never seen one of those before nor do I care to see it again.
I don't wear shorts, only skirts or capri pants.
And thanks so much for visiting me on my SITS day! I'm your newest follower and I hope you'll stop by again soon.

sweet lord have mercy! i cannot believe that is an actual onesie. i'd heard they are in, but was and will still remain in denial. i am blocking this from my memory.
I have had that shopping trip so many times! I'm 30 so I feel like, even if I am small, shorts that barely cover the goods are too short, but I also don't want to look like I'm so old that I can't wear shorts that are fashionable. Where do you find those that are at just the right length (and still fit well)? I have no idea. Someone said something to me around Halloween that made me think that the problem might be people in my age group who do want to dress that way. A girl my age said that she loved Halloween because it's an excuse to wear something slutty. Ok, that I have heard before. Then, her husband said, "and Easter." To which she casually replied, "yeah, and Easter." Easter! No wonder I've had such a hard time the past few years finding an Easter dress I would actually wear into a church without fear of being struck by lightening!
LOL!!! hilarious onsie!!!
I don't care hip that one piece thing might be...I'm not wearing it! LOL
Oh no. That onesie is beautiful! (that was sacasm...) :)

I love your expression in the last pic. So funny!
Maybe I should get a onesie to wear with my Snuggie...
Oh hellllls no. I adore the onesie and must get one for myself. Height of sophistication, indeed.
I just stumbled over here and love your blog; congrats on all those new fireplaces!
P.S. You are incredibly adorable, even in that crazy onesie!!
OMGOSH!!! I am SO GLAD I kept scrolling down! I'm sorry this was part of your horrible day, but that onesie is HILARIOUS!!!!
I am dying over that onesie! Really?! DO people buy them?
I came here after googling "feminist onesies" for my nieces. You know, who are infants, babies, and for whom onesies would be appropriate. Not digging the adult onsie either. Thanks for sharing the photos--very funny.
