Okay--I have been looking for a dress for my cousins wedding. I had gone and put a dress on layaway in 3 different sizes, planning to try it on this weekend, put back the one that was too small, go back next weekend and do the same, then the week after that, go get the one that fits. Well, when I laid them away, I didn't even try them on. I just looked at them and guesstimated my size. Okay--today I went in and tried on the dress. The smallest one was too big. I had to go to a skirt and top. Which, someone had recommended me doing in the first place, but I feel like shirt and top combo's make me look dumpy. Well, I still had to have a size 20 in the top, because my boobs will not shrink. But the skirt---size 14. No W, just a plain ol 14. It is beautiful. It is a chocolate brown super straight and skinny pencil skirt. it sits low on the hips. The top is a halter, brown, cream, peach and turqoise. I will wear my gold strappy Fendi sandals, and I have a matching Fendi bag to carry. Now, I just need some new highlights in my hair and I am good to go.
I also baught some new shorts. I haven't baught new shorts in about 3 years. The ones I "wore" into the store are a 22. They are REALLY too big. The ones I bought are a 14. I just love it!!! Not much movement on the scale lately, but a size 14??? Who'd a thunk it??
