Advice: Am I Leading Myself Astray?

This came up on the main feed.... I do buy things one size ahead when I see them on cheap. I did buy a few XL sundresses last fall from the clearance rack knowing summer is coming eventually. But as other said, not knowing if they would really work when I get there they have to be really cheap. I know you have different stores in Canada, but I try to shop clearance in stores that have generous return policies. At least 90 days. Here Macy's and Kohls I can get great clearance deals and they are returnable anytime. I bought some bathing suits from the lands End website last fall for dirt cheap... unfortunately while they are the right size now I just tried them on and they didn't work for me. So I returned them. Actually the first new things I needed were new bras. I actually bought those before surgery. Smaller band size and same cup size. Good Luck!
