Need some opinions...girl stuff
Upon posting this, I decided to see if any of my jeans fit differently. They all do and I am shocked. Obviously i knew this would happen but like it still doesn't feel real, ya know? Anyway, they still fit fine so I can get by. And I think I'm going to buy the skirt in the smallest size possible and use it as a reward.
Thanks!!

I honestly recommend not buying it at all. There will always be cute skirts to buy and your body might skip the size if you buy it in the smaller size and then it would never fit.
It's hard to be patient but.. better to try and save the money for clothes down the road or plastic surgery. I pretty much only buy clothes if they fit RIGHT NOW.

You're going to shrink sizes faster than you can imagine. Even if you buy the size down you'll probably wear it very little, unless you really like to re-wear stuff! I had bras I bought on 4/19 and by 1 month later they were hanging off me!

I started using Gwynnie Bee a few months ago and LOVE it. The first month was free and then for being a loyal customer I was given the chance to upgrade to 3 more months at a discount price, but still worth it for the 1 month free trial. You just go online choose anything you want to "rent" in whatever size you want and they ship it to you. You get free 2 day shipping there and back. I try all kinds of crazy outfits and things I wouldn't normally buy. I keep it and wear as long as I like and then send it back when I want a new box. And you also have the option to purchase the stuff at a discount. It's a fun way to get new pieces and experiment without purchasing each piece. All my other clothing comes from thrift stores and clothing exchanges with other patients from my group.

I liked Gwynnie Bee too, but I think I un-sized them so had to stop. I think that it would be SUPER useful for someone who worked and needed a work appropriate wardrobe!

I'm planning to do this once I get to goal weight. Until then, I'm not wanting to spend any extra money on clothes. :)

Gwynnie Bee is the best! I love the dresses. I have been a customer for 6 months and love that they have beautiful and fashionable plus size dresses. I am looking forward to trying different sizes and styles. I loved the dresses at size 28. I recently had VSG surgery on 7/3 and have lost 20 pounds from the pre-op diet and a pound a day since surgery. While online I have been changing some of the sizes from 28 to 26 and 24 so I am eagerly awaiting my next shipment!!
I would probably not purchase it at all. I know for me, I'm pretty sure I skipped a couple of sizes before I realized it. I kept wearing baggy clothes as long as I could. My sizes kept changing so rapidly and I didn't want to spend the money on all the different sizes! Trust me, when you lose your weight your clothes options increase. I'm sure you'll find an even more beautiful skirt!
