“Can I have the size M please?”, I asked using a polite tone. “I think you should opt for a size S,” said the sales executive casting me a bored look. To my over-enthusiastic friend, he simply mumbled, “Madam, we don’t keep your size.” He did not even look at her. Needless to say, we left in a huff, hoping to mutter some fancy ‘bad’ words to ourselves but unable to think of some… anyway. mannequins-1413358__340.jpg

Ouch! Within a few seconds he had classified both of us as – one who probably wears a size bigger than she should be wearing, and the other….well, she should be lucky if anyone tailored clothing to fit her large frame.

You are too thin/fat for it.” Someone who can make heads turn without worrying about what size she is being categorized in.

Someone who is gorgeous from within. Now, that’s the kind of fashion trend I’m talking about.

More on this later. Till then, stay gorgeous, lovelies!
