Purged My Closet Again...NSV
Great minds think alike! I went to three different thrift stores today! I have become addicted to shopping and scoring at thrift stores. It is like a treasure hunt. I have found new or like new Ralph Lauren, Bill Blass, Calvin Klein, etc... all for under $5, sometimes only $1.49. I have bought clothes in three sizes- 16, 14, 12. I am in the 16-16W size now. My ultimate goal is size 10. I haven't bought anything in that size yet. I am a teacher and I have the reputation of being very stylish with my clothes and jewelry. It's going to be fun this school year wearing all these great thrift store clothes!

I have officially passed by all my friends who have lost/gained weight so I had to actually go buy clothes for the first time. I was wearing the largest size Catherine's had. Size 34 pants and 5-6X shirts.
I went to Ross, Old Navy and WalMart (only for my Danskin workout pants that I can't find anywhere else, I HATE that store with a passion)... anyway... size 16 jeans and size Large shirt.
My old stuff goes to friends for now or I take it to my surgery support group to pass around.
Wow... so many sizes. I did actually BUY stuff this time. I usually go into a store and get overwhelmed, don't know where to start and don't buy anything. I just leave. But I made myself try on clothes and wear some stuff. I feel weird because a few are a little more form fitting, but well... that's how they're supposed to fit. LOL. I'm just so used to wearing tents!
