BOOTS! I purchased these before my surgery, and could not even get the zipper over my calves. Now, these non stretchy, zipper up the back boots fit OVER jeans!
Not sure about any of you, but when I was bigger, I always felt the need to dress up. I would take me quite a bit of time every day to get pulled together, it was the only way I felt attractive and somewhat comfortable.
Now, it's so nice to just throw on a pair of jeans, throw up my hair in a clip, and run out the door, feeling just as good, as I would have totally done up. Its nice to dress casually for once! Sans spanxs!
ANYWAY, boots, I love them! I have waited forever to be able to wear a thigh high nice structured, zippered and non stretchy boot. Those stretchy, elastic panel boots were the boots I was forced to buy at 262lbs, because they were all that would fit... Not anymore!
OH and JEANS. Its been a VERY long time since I have felt comfortable in these. SIZE 12!!
Hope everyone is having a great week

That's one of my favourite NSV's...all boots fit, and some gape open....what? Some wider calf boots were still too snug for me before surgery. Enjoy!

Thank you! These are definitely snug, but at least them being fitted helps them stay up! Feeling extra stylish, and lets just face it, boots are sexy!!
