Online Shopping Fails

I've been doing a little more online shopping lately and have had several successes but have also had quite a few fails in the past two week.  Last night I got home from work to find a new RueLaLa box on my doorstep (yeah!) only to be totally let down by the Trina Turk dresses I bought when I tried them on.  I have several Trina Turk dresses and I find that a size 6 is usually just right though I can occasionally go to a size 4 if it's a looser cut.





Both of these were epic fails.  I bought the size 6 in each and they were both waaaaaaaaaaay to tight across the bust and waist.  It made me feel like this, which is NOT an ego booster:

Oddly enough, I wore an old Trina Turk dress to work that day which is also a size 6 and is actually loose so I guess these were much more slim fitting.  Naturally, I got kind of depressed about them being too tight and did the whole girlie "I'm fat" thing for about 30 minutes afterwards.   Anyway, they are going back today.  I also bought these shorts from Tuckernuck and they were a horrible fit.  Much more high-waisted than I expected.  High-waisted shorts on petite women is not a good look.  At least not for me.



They look so cute online...so why are they so hideous on me???

I do like online shopping but it's still no replacement for a day at the mall.  I will say that the dresses being too tight was a good motivator for me.  I put myself on a diet a week ago as the scale had tipped up to 129 thanks to my ankle injury and me eating like a pig lately.  Tomorrow will be a juice cleanse day, which I'm not looking forward to at all.  I have been awesome about sticking to my diet and exercise routine the past week and this morning I weighed in at 127.2 so I am down almost 2 lbs.  Have another 7 to go.
