Major Nordstrom NSV

[live2canoe 1]

The good news - wait the GREAT news- everything in the 'womens' department (aka the big girl section) is now officially too big for me.

I have a big presentation in front of the president of my company coming up and needed something 'professional' to wear. I went to Nordstroms, where there is a very helpful sales lady who I love, and started trying on clothes. The smallest size they carry in the women's dept is a 14W. Everything I tried was too big.

We called in the alterations lady. She starts pinning, and pinning and pinning and she finally says - "what I've taken-in here is a whole size. Did you try the other department?"

Well, no, I didn't try the other department - I haven't been able to fit anything there in years.

The helpful sales lady and I trek downstairs to try on 'regular' sized clothes. Waddaya know? Most of them fit!

There are still some pants where I need a 14 w, and will have to have them altered down , and jackets are still a problem (I have lunch lady upper arms), but, most everything FIT!

Wow - I can't hardly believe it. I'm too small!!

Thanks Ladies!!!

You all make me smile so much.

I don't say this enough - you guys, Lisa and Crystal in particular, have no idea how much I appreciate you!

I'll take a pic in the new duds when they come back from being altered. I'll get them next Saturday.

Looks like you have to get not only a new wardrobe, but a new mental image of yourself. Excellent NSV!
