My second mini-goal is an NSV- Around a year or so ago, I went to JCPenney and bought 3 pairs of jeans. All the same brand, all the same size, 2 different washes. I got them home and discovered 1 of the pairs didn't fit. Badly. Really really badly. So into the back of the closet they went, even after moving I still kept them.
Well thanks to another thread in this section, I was inspired to try them on, just to see if I could get them buttoned (which would have been an improvement over previous attempts...), and they FIT! Comfortably! And are kind of loose!



and hooray for 'free' new clothes!
Congratulations! Glad you kept those jeans around!!
