The Price of Being Non-Standard

Argh. I hate being my size/shape sometimes. But NOT for whatever reasons you might be thinking.

I'm petite, 5'3'' and what my family likes to call "healthy" in size. Essentially what this means is that whenever I go clothes' shopping I have to factor in extra money to have my clothes altered.

$10 for hemming pants
$20 for sleeves shortened
+ anything else that is necessary

It's expensive being me.
