Tricky!

Have you noticed that more and more stores are using sizes to sell more clothes? If you take a look back, the sizes are getting smaller but the actual clothes are staying the same size! I used to be a size 8 in most jeans. Just recently I noticed that the size 8s were actually too large. I downgraded to a 6. And just yesterday I went into Express and tried on a 6 and I could take them off without unbuttoning. Now I know I haven't lost a significant amount of weight to go from an 8 to a 6 to a 4. But low and behold, I have on a size 4 pair of jeans. Go figure. Brilliant scheme to get more shoppers into your store. Boost their confidence by a little mind trick. They are a smaller size at Abercrombie therefore, they make it a point to shop there! Before long, I'll be a size 2. Now what size will the size 0s be?? –4?
