The best thing is being able to wear T-shirt tops that are
a) ladies' - so they're not great long things, just past the waist
b) wearable without wearing a 'camouflage' shirt over the top.
Honestly, being brave enough to go out without the camouflage shirts is a huge and recent step forward.
Today I am wearing a new brown linen skirt from Lands End in a size 12. It just falls to my knee which is very short for me. I bought it at Easter but it was a little tight on the hips so I put it away. Although I've only lost 4lb since I thought I'd try it this morning and not only does if fit comfortably over the hips its now a little large in the waist. It really is amazing the difference only a few pounds can make when your smaller. I'm wearing the skirt with a natural coloured linen shirt also from Lands End in a Medium.
I was going through clothes last night, to pack bags of winter stuff for the Salvation Army (it's winter here) and I found a pair of work pants I haven't worn in years I'm wearing them now and about to leave for work!
I just bought a jean skirt at Old Navy Size 8!!! Best part is it was on sale for $15...so going to wear it with a cute t-shirt and my new sandals this weekend!
-A whole basement full of 18s to wear.
-A whole basement full of 16s that are just starting to fit.
-Becoming a shopaholic on the Lane Bryant sales since I am a 14/16 there.
-Becoming a shopaholic at Costco (yes, Costco! They have designer stuff, who knew??) because I am no longer a "plus" size; I can wear a regular XL now.
-New shoes in a **12** because my feet have shrunk a size. Do you know how hard it is to find size 13 shoes??
-And much, much more.
Today I am wearing my size 4 Lucky jeans! The best part is my muffin top seems to be disappearing finally. I am stuck in the 130's but I seem to be losing inches again, yea!!
I like the fitted shorts that fit next to my leg all the way to my knee. They finish just above my knee. I like solid tanks with them--and then I bling it with chunky bracelet and earrings. I like wearing very interesting shoes too. The other day I wore cheetah heels (open-toed) with an orange dressy tank. I loved the combo. So NOT me! LOL.
Perfect timing ... I just bought a jeans skirt cut above the knee and a pair of brown khaki (elastic-free) shorts both size 16 from Old Navy 'normal' department.. I'm so excited.. Weird, I brought them into the dressing room "just to see"... and waalah ! they fit.. YAY me...
