New Clothes
 

I bought some new clothes about a week ago. I didn't try them on, and I should have. One was a pretty blue and black dress with a deep blue jacket that matched the color of the flowers in the dress. The other was a blue and black skirt with a lighter blue in the flowers and the jacket was a lighter shiny blue.

The weird thing when I tried them on was that the skirt fit, and the jacket for the dress fit, but the dress didn't fit quite right yet and the lighter blue jacket didn't quite fit over my bust quite right. So I switched them. Wore the dark blue with the lighter blue skirt.

Tonight I wore the light jacket with the light skirt (the combo that came together), and the jacket didn't meet in order to button across my chest. I don't usually button my jackets anyway, but I want them to look like they will button if I chose to. I faked it with a scarf in the middle to distract the eye. Still I'm wondering if my bust will ever shrink enough that the jacket will look the way it should. I hope so. It is the one area that doesn't seem to lose as much as I would like. They were both size 18 and I guess I'm not quite that small yet.

But I was NOT going to buy new clothes in any bigger size! If they don't fit I'll lose until they do!

I have a hard time buying clothes because of my bust. When I had lost the 30 pounds (originally) I only lost an inch in my bust. SEEMED like more but wasn't. Good luck w/the dress and it's jacket!!!

I have started buying clothes in like size 10/11. That way I have to go down cause it is stuff that I really want to wear. I dont buy clothes that are my size right now. I refuse to and everytime something gets big, I donate it. I dont want to hang on to my fat clothes.

Sherry, sounds like you're doing great! Congratulations on the 18's :)

Sherry, that's great. I'm this close to 18s. Then the 20s go to Goodwill.

Congrat's on getting into the 18's. It is always great to fit into a smaller size.

great thinking, I never buy up either and as soon as clothes become too big I get rid of them FAST...I will never wear them again :)
