Does it fit or not?

I wore a dress to school Friday that was too tight last year. I wore it once at the beginning of school this year (after the surgery), and it still felt a bit snug, so hadn't worn it since. Friday I was told TWICE by two different teachers that the dress was too big for me! What? Looser, yes. Too big? Hmmm.... One said, "It looks like you are going to have to start buying new clothes. Isn't that a great feeling that your clothes are getting too big?" The other walked up to me and said, "Honey, that dress is too big for you....and you can give it to me!"

I looked a little closer in the mirror---ok, the dress is not loose around my round backside, nor is it loose around my amply endowed chest. Now granted, the last person who commented is ALWAYS cinched up and poured in her fashionable clothes...she's got lots more clothes than I do and always looks like she stepped out of clothing shop. She is also from that cultural school of thinking that one should show off the junk in the trunk.

The dress is washed and I'm giving it to her Monday.

Shopping...in my closet

I'm thrilled to report that my last year's school pants are just getting too big to wear and look down right sloppy. So I've had to go "shopping" in my closet. The lower rack contains clothes that had been, sadly, too small for me to wear last year. I didn't even know what was hanging! Found a pair of khaki pants and was shocked to discover that they fit me even better than when I bought them about 2 years ago!

Haven't "shopped" for tops yet. There are two things that are prohibiting that for the time being....if you know what I mean~ ;)

Losing my pants....

I'm going to have to start paying better attention when I get up and get dressed before daylight...especially if I'm still sorta feeling the effects of jet lag or something.

It was while I was walking across the parking lot this morning that I realized the pants I'd put on were feeling awfully baggy....I mean enough room for a couple of cats to race around in! Luckily, I didn't have my hands quite as full as I usually do juggling lunch bag, purse, and a box of books, so I was able to pull them up. Unfortunately, the long-sleeved pullover shirt was on the thin side, so I couldn't yank the pants up to mid-rib because you could see where the waistband is! What a dilemma, huh? lol I decided it would be a good day to re-catalog most of the 398.2 section since I'd be safely sitting and not in danger of losing my pants in front of God and everybody.

Needless to say, after washing these pants tonight, they go in the "too big to wear anymore" box! Woo hoo!
