A shopping NSV!!!
 

My capris that I bought at the beginning of the summer (size 20's) are HANGING off of me. They both have a bit of stretch in them and by an hour after putting them on they are just not wearable anymore.

I had picked up a pair of size 18 Bum Equipment jeans at Value Village a month ago and was SUPER excited that they fit. An 18+ plus womens.

Well... THOSE are getting loose on me! So tonight I went shopping. I hardly dared to look at the Levi's because they do NOT make them in plus sizes (here anyways) and only in Misses. So an 18 in a Levi's is way smaller than an 18 plus (obviously.) But I hurried into the "non plus sized" section, grabbed an 18 mid rise bootcut in a DARK blue. Scurried into the change room (expecting someone to boot me back to the plus sizes) and tried them on. AND THEY FIT. And the look AWESOME. And I LOVE THEM. And they are LEVI'S and I have not worn Levi's since I grew out of them when I was 18!

So bolstered by my success I GAVE UP THE PLUS SIZES. Strode boldly into the regular sizes and grabbed a bunch of XL shirts and... THEY ALL FIT. So I bought those too. And some super cute cuddly fleece pj pants in an XL.

so.... BYE BYE PLUS SIZES FOREVER!!!!!!!!! And yes I know that they sell 14's and 16's as plus too but as Goddess as my witness I will NEVER walk into the plus sized "section" at Wal-mart again. Ever. Again. :carrot:

/jumping up and down

That is SO FANTASTIC!!!! Way to go!!

Isn't it so great? I am excited to be in a size 14 today when I started out at size 28. Congrats :hug:

Wow! You are living my dream and I can't wait to join you. :D

Fabulous Tammy! How exciting for you! Better start saving up your milk money, because shopping is going to get dangerous now honey!

Yea! Happy day! Did you cry? The first time I bought non plus sized clothing I bawled like a baby in the dressing room. I'm sure the lady at the front thought I was upset because something DIDN'T fit, LOL.

Congratulations! And the shopping just becomes more and more fun (one more size and I found I could pretty much shop anywhere again). :)

Happy day! :-) GOOD for you!
