My opinion on catcalling

I was catcalled 4 times today while on a 15 minute walk to the mall. One guy in a truck yelled "nice ass", the next honked at me, the third guy just gave me a thumbs up while driving by and the last guy winked at me while on his bike.

I like the attention, to a degree. I understand why some women would not want to be catcalled or hit on in public if they don't like the attention, but what gets me is when girls like the attention but act disgusted.

I was talking to my fiancé about this. I told him about the catcalling and said that although it was weird I felt extremely complimented. He agreed how that would make sense.

Earlier this week we were talking about a coworker of his that got over 100 likes on a photo in an hour. She was complaining about how it was all guys and how they were being perverts. She was the one who chose to post the photo on facebook. At least when I am being catcalled, I am not posting it online for someone to review what outfit I was wearing. I am not going to say she is asking for the attention by posting the photo, but by posting a photo, to a degree you are literally taking an image of yourself to show to others. So I don't see why she was angry. In fact, I think she was just bringing up her complaints to others in order to draw more attention to the photo.

I think that if you're hot you should probably just rock it. Although I understand when people don't want the attention. But if you are constantly posting selfies online, especially ones in which you are just in a bikini or something, you are going to get attention.

I am also just confused as to why the likes bothered her, too. The comments were all innocent, no guy was like "Nice ass!" or "Nice tits!" or anything of that nature. She was just upset at all of the likes. What? No. I'm sure if she was really angered about the likes she would've deleted the photo.

Anyways. This is kind of my current pet peeve. My coworker asked what my current pet peeve was the other day and it is when girls obviously are seeking attention and then complain about it.

When I post a photo or wear something revealing, I am probably happy to get attention: no lie. I am honest. Am I trying to get the attention? Not necessarily, but I am welcoming it. I am welcoming the likes I am welcoming the "Nice ass" comments.

Granted, to be safe (because you never know what words will hurt) you should probably refrain from catcalling. You never know, it could ruins someone's day. For me it made me happy, but it could offend some people. So if you see a beautiful ass in public, take a mental note of it and masturbate thinking about it later. It won't fucking hurt her, she will have no idea.

Anyways, that's it for now. What do you think about catcalling?

What size clothes am I?!

I am currently in the middle of writing an essay for my philosophy of sex and love class. Essentially the essay is on how culture shapes our ideas of sex and attraction. I am basically focusing on pornography in this essay so this has been a fun day of research.

I'm going to take a break from writing my essay to write this blog post about my clothing size. What? Why? To show how ridiculous clothing sizes are.

I'll start off with some basic body stats:
I am around 137 pounds right now and 5'7''. I am 19. I am athletic, I run marathons (sometimes) but I also eat crazy unhealthy on occasion.

I swear this post isn't to post selfies of myself or to show off, I am just complaining on the fashion industry and how no two places can agree on clothing sizes. Also, all of these photos were taken within this past year.

I am generally a size 10 pant now, but the majority of my pants are a size 8 and I have some size 6 and size 12 pants as well. Huh.

(Size 6 pants, size small shirts)
I almost always wear a size medium pant but all of my workout pants are about half size small and the other half size medium. All of my pajama bottoms are size large or else they are too small. Shorts generally have to be a size large.

Size medium shorts that are too big, size small shirt


My shirt size is medium, most of the time.

My bra size is usually a 34A but sometimes is a 36A, 32B and 34B. I have some bralets which are a size small and some that are medium. Bathing suit tops are always medium.

Bathing suit bottoms are always large but underwear is always a size medium. What?

Size large bikini bottoms, size large mens shirt? Haha


I fit into most size 8 shoes but running shoes and some flip flops I take a 9 and some flats and boots I need 7 1/2s in.

All of my coats from 4 years ago that were a size small still fit and are not too small but I always buy mediums now.

Size medium shirts, size 8 pants, size 8 shoes.


I am usually a size small in dresses but some I need a medium in. I can still fit into some x-small dresses. Also I am a size 4-6 in dresses.

So what the fuck, fashion industry? I have to take in 3 different sizes of the same pair of jeans into the change room and quite often come out with none of them fitting. My body isn't oddly shaped, I am a normal human with no lump protruding from my calve or one boob 5x bigger than the other. So I don't see the problem?

Anyways. I promise that this summer I am going to be blogging more. I'll probably re-design my blog again. I'll have more well thought out posts. Next week I have 3 essays due, 3 exams and then I have one three page paper due the week after that. Currently I'm still working 12-20 hours a week which is not enough so I am looking for full time work, so especially until I find full-time work, I will have a lot of time to blog.

I'm looking forward to reflecting on my past year at school, new thoughts I've had and maybe some creative pieces! I also plan on blogging more about fitness and my struggles with my body. (How freaking shitty does that sound?).

Anyways, that is all for now.

Those studying for exams, good luck!

Do you have weird experiences with clothing sizes?

#14 30 Day Writing Challenge- What I wore Today

This is my outfit today! I have never written a fashion blog post about what I've worn. So bear with me!

This is the overall outfit:



Top pieces:


The Blazer: I got from Winners for about $15-$20 (I forget). It has pink on the inside, which is what I was showing
The T-Shirt: From H&M. I don't remember the price, but I'm sure it was between $7-$12
The Necklace: I've owner this for a very long time. The brown stone in the middle, when you look through it, makes everything look funny, so I got it as a kid. I think it was around $10. I got it from Sears.

The Bottom Half:
 Shorts: I got these last year for $10 at Bluenotes

Shoes: I bought these from Ardenes for about $4. Usually their shoes are 2/$15, but the Ardenes I was at was closing, so everything was even cheaper!

Yay! I survived my first "What I wore Today" fashion blog post!

Formatting photos, sucks.
