Default Bought clothes

Well, it finally happened. With only 10 days to go till we leave for Disney World and one pair of pants and three pairs of jeans (not the best attire for a teacher) I finally went shopping. Well, online anyway. I bought 6 pair of pants, 4 pair of shorts and a few shirts. All sizes 14 and 16, as the 18s are falling off. Most stuff was on clearance, so I didn't actually spend much money, thank goodness. Also bought a bunch of bras. Mine are all 40 D and I need a 36 or smaller. I went for the C cup too - it wasn't easy to do.

Now to see if anything fits when it arrives.

Oh - and I bought a bathing suit too - need that at Disney. I got the skirted kind - not ready to expose these inner thighs, that is for sure!

It is all so strange. I've gone through all the clothes my mom and sister gave me - I'm too small for everything! I'm 40 pounds less than when I got married - 80 pounds less than my husband. It still blows my mind every day.

Take care all! If these clothes look good, I might take a photo and post it!

Its so much fun when you can get new clothes...and buying on line even better...I get SO tired of trying on things in stores and having to go from store to store....not like before with the Penningtons, one stop shop! I love Sears now for that reason!

Pics, pics............we need new pics soon!

Congratulations!

Personally, of all the things you purchased, the bra size is my thing.

I would LOVE to get back into a 36B!!!

I don't know why girls are PAYING for big breasts when they can be such a chore.

Anyway, GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are doing great!!

Congrats on buying new clothes. Isn't it great to be able to buy in sizes that a few months ago, you would never have dreamed of fitting in?

I wish I could buy clothes online. I'm hoping that when I get a bit smaller, that I will be able to again. Right now, I'm having to try at least 20 pairs of pants on before I find one that feels and looks go. Everytime I try to find something I am between sizes. One being too big and one being too tight. Once of these days I'm going to go in and have something look perfect... I'm definitely looking forward to that.
