Thumbs up Amazing wardrobe adjustments!

I'm going on a business trip tomorrow and my office is business casual. I haven't bought new smaller suits yet and I have just listed my size 24 suits on eBay to sell.

So, I dragged my butt to the mall and found that I had gone from busting out of size 24s to wearing size 18 pants. I never would have tried them on if the clerk hadn't suggested it, I thought I was a 20 now. So I was thrilled with two pairs of pants and two new blouses and figured I could make do with some old suit jacket at home.

I had remembered leaving one size 18 suit in the attic when I had given up and gotten rid of my size 18s because they were pissing me off. When I went up to the attic I found 4 size 18 suits, all a bit too large! I'm so psyched! Size 24 to 18 AND I have some decent suits to wear this week.

Congratulations - so nice to be able to shop in your own closet ! I think it's important to dress for your current size. If your clothes are always too big, you might be tempted to "fill them out." Not to mention;
