I am now officially a size 16.
Not only an "avenue" size 16. A true blue size 16 in Gloria Vanderbuilt jeans. They were 80% off and my mom snatched them up when she saw the "amanda" label. She thought that I could squeeze into them in a couple of weeks, but they fit now. As did the dress and the capris. (she went a little crazy after I told her they fit)
Then I went to Macys and Kohls not to buy but to verify...yep size 16.
Old Navy....check
Gap....check (although less of a selection

)
I'm saving my money for a real shopping spree later on down the line. I will invest in shoes tho'
"I became a chameleon, and took on many personalities. This album is the coming together of these personalities: the warrior - the lady with the sword from the album jacket; the child (that I couldn't be in the clubs); and the woman, who is the balance between the two. I am just entering womanhood actually."
