I cannot believe...
that I am in a size 12 petite. I promised myself I would not go shopping until I wore a "regular" size. Well, its been 6 months now and I had to go shopping because I have nothing to wear! Well as usual I went for the larger sizes (16) and brought a whole bunch of clothing into the dressing room. Would you believe, I had to bring everything back because they were too big! So, back to the racks and started with size 14, again too big! I could not believe I had to go to the size 12's. Well they fit but still a little baggy, so again back to the racks and finally I discovered the petite dept. and that is where I remained shopping, shopping for size 12 petite. I feel so good... it's been such a long time that I almost forgot how happy I can be in the mall!!! Now, I await the next sale, I will be there!!!!!

Congratulations! I just hope one day to shop in the regular Misses or Petite department, any size there will do me fine, right now that is! (lol)
