I don't have a pic, but I was very excited to hit TJ Maxx last Friday and try on size 16 jeans from the MISSES section.  my last pair were 16W in January, so this was a nice change!  I'm going to Montreal for the weekend, so I wanted to have a spiffy new outfit - these new jeans fit the bill!  I even picked up a cute dress for $2 size Large. 

I also did some bra shopping.  What a confusing thing to do. I don't know what's fat, what's boob, what's loose skin???  After trying mulitple sizes, I determined that what used to be 46DD is now 40DD.   I may shop in Victoria's secret next time!

Nice work!!  I hate bra shopping but I need to go SOOOO bad!  I love that I can now get clothes off the clearance racks for only a few bucks, this is why people develop shopping addictions!

 Go to intimacy in in Copley.  They will size you right.    Regular store sizes are never right.  You pay a little more for the bra's but they are worth it.  They will even alter them if you need them to.   I went with my mom a few months ago.  She thought that she was a 38DD turns out she was a 32 J.  I went from a 42DD to a 40H.  They just have better stuff.  Victoria's secret does not have the same size ranges or customer service.

Thanks for the suggestion - as soon as the weight loss settles down, I hope to go somewhere like that.  Right now, I can't imagine even $20 for a bra that will only last a couple of months before I shrink out of it!

Good for you!   It truly feels like more than a bargain when we can score in a regular store. Like a true victory.   For the bras....Lady Grace also will fit you. they have a good selection. I've used them for about 20 odd years and I always go back to them.
