Your Weight Has Changed Clothes Rental Service
Posted: January 17, 2013 Filed under: Diet- comedy | Tags: gained weight, lost weight, renting clothes 1 CommentThe only downside of losing weight is that I need new clothes faster than I want to either think about them, shop for them or pay for them. I am much too cheep, you know frugal, to not wear things until they are practically see-through-thread-bare, and not because I am the other kind of cheep, but because I want to get my money’s worth from them.
If you are losing weight and you don’t wear clothes that fit it is harder for people to see how you are doing. So having the right sized pants is an encouragement to keep going. It also works the other way. If you are gaining weight you need new clothes and nothing looks worse than trying to force your too big backside into a pair of jeans meant for your formally thinner self.
These two opposite ends of the same I-don’t-have-anything-that-fits end of the clothing spectrum could be solved with the creation on one new business. Your weight has changed clothing rental service – might be called TemporClothes. Here is how it works.
No matter is you are on the way down the scale, or on the way up, or are up and are thinking about going down, wherever you are the size you are now is temporary, or so you hope. You just need a few nice things to carry you over until you get to the size you want to be.
TemporClothes would rent you nice clothes that fit perfectly and the first month is the cheapest. Each month after that it would get more expensive which would encourage you to get to the next size down faster. As you lose weight you bring the clothes back and if you trade down in size you get to go back to the cheapest price. Once you reach your goal weight you stop renting clothes and begin to invest in a permanent wardrobe.
If you have gained weight and don’t fit in your current wardrobe you could rent one size up and you are encouraged to lose so you can get back to your own clothes and not be paying rent. The worst thing you can do if you gain weight is just go ahead and buy bigger clothes because then you do not have the incentive to lose because you don’t have anything to wear, but you really should not wear things that are embarrassingly tight.
I have at least eight sizes of clothes so I probably could go ahead and start this business out of my own closet, but I can’t promise how up-to-date in fashion they all are. That is why I am throwing this idea out to the world so someone who is really interested in clothes would start it and rent me a few things that are current and the right size for me. I hate to invest good money for things I may wear a couple of months.
Hmmm, I’ll talk to my people 🙂
