last week it was the sweater, this week, misses JEANS and Bras
I don't have a pic, but I was very excited to hit TJ Maxx last Friday and try on size 16 jeans from the MISSES section. my last pair were 16W in January, so this was a nice change! I'm going to Montreal for the weekend, so I wanted to have a spiffy new outfit - these new jeans fit the bill! I even picked up a cute dress for $2 size Large.
I also did some bra shopping. What a confusing thing to do. I don't know what's fat, what's boob, what's loose skin??? After trying mulitple sizes, I determined that what used to be 46DD is now 40DD. I may shop in Victoria's secret next time!

Nice work!! I hate bra shopping but I need to go SOOOO bad! I love that I can now get clothes off the clearance racks for only a few bucks, this is why people develop shopping addictions!

Go to intimacy in in Copley. They will size you right. Regular store sizes are never right. You pay a little more for the bra's but they are worth it. They will even alter them if you need them to. I went with my mom a few months ago. She thought that she was a 38DD turns out she was a 32 J. I went from a 42DD to a 40H. They just have better stuff. Victoria's secret does not have the same size ranges or customer service.
Thanks for the suggestion - as soon as the weight loss settles down, I hope to go somewhere like that. Right now, I can't imagine even $20 for a bra that will only last a couple of months before I shrink out of it!
