I don't get to wear jeans except on casual Friday & weekends. On weekends, I also wear yoga pants (so comfy). So, yesterday, I discovered that my jeans were to big. I have been shopping at thrift stores because I don't want to spend a lot on clothes as I shrink. So, today I hit the rescue mission store on a half price sale. I picked up 3 pair of jeans in size 12. They fit now. I also picked up a couple of size 10 for later since I was able to get them for about $3 a pair. I also got a few other items since it was half price day. I then had DH drive around back and we donated 2 huge boxes of clothes from a previous closet purge. It is kind of cool that I can get temporary wardrobes at decent prices, donate what is to big, and help a fine organization all at the same time. I've also picked up work clothes there too. Great deals on dress pants, sweaters, and dresses.

It is really great when you find one with a fitting room.

I think I'm finally able to see it myself. I know, it takes a while before the mind catches up with the body. But I haven't had my butt in a size 12 since before I got pregnant with my last child. He'll be 25 in January. It has been a long, long time.

So cool!  I am a thrift store queen and have dressed myself up and down and up again 5 sizes. Once i get my surgery I am looking forward to going down the sizes again and donated the bigger stuff for the last time.   I always find great clothes, even with the tags on.  Great idea to get the next size down you will be there in no time!
