Interesting experience today

I have a big customer meeting next week and I realized today that none of my jackets fit; they look like they are eating me...which is a good problem to have; except when you have to find a jacket TODAY. So I went to several stores, not really sure what size I needed and pretty much everything I tried on made me look like a linebacker or a box.

Finally, I went into a store and found the assistant and said "I don't know what size I wear, I've never been in your shop before, I've recently lost a ton of weight, please help me."....and she said, "I know exactly what you mean, I'm 75 and in 2002, I had gastric bypass and lost 80 lbs; let's get you sorted out"....i almost cried. I left there with a new friend and two, count them two, on sale blazers that look awesome!

Sounds to me like you were suppose to be at the right store at the right time meeting the right person who understood all the right things. I purchased super-plus-size clothes from a catalog in the color black for years. Since WLS, I refreshed my past familiarity re color analysis (1980's). A friendly suggestion to consider doing the same as a way to optimize the best color choices for the new you. Happy Shopping.

Jen, that's a lovely story! Congratulations on your new, unexpected friend, and your new jackets too! I'll bet you look smashing in them!

I think everyone who has loss a lot of weight should get familiar with the website missussmartypants.

She is fantastic on analyzing your body and coloring. You get weekly recommendations for clothing that will look good on you and can build your new wardrobe with a closet full of items that look great on you

Oh wow! I have not heard of that but will check it out for sure!
