Big size changes - for me, that is

Jun 14, 2012

After lunch a couple of days ago, my husband pulled into a parking space which confused me I thought we were headed home.  He pointed at Catherines and said "Go in there and get a pair of jeans and a couple of shirts that FIT !"  So I did go in the store and it was nerve-wracking.  I've been working my way through my closet from 32W jeans to 28 to 26 and then I ran out.  So I picked out a couple of 24W and since my smallest shirts were 3X, I grabbed a couple of 2X.s.  I'm not much of a shopper and have done the bulk of my shopping online for quite some time.

So I put on the clothes in the dressing room and honestly just could not tell if they were fine or too loose or WHAT . . . So I asked the sales clerk to check me out and she just shook her head and came back with a couple of 1X shirts and some 22W jeans.  And I admit I thought NO WAY - but they fit   And yes, I got a little misty-eyed. 

I got married 32 years ago in an 18W and I'm headed that way.  So we took a picture when we got home and it is in the after photo album.  I don't know why I was so surprised as my waist has gone from almost 60 inches to 43 inches now - and that would be a very different pair of jeans indeed.
