Small NSV -- But I'll take it!

[justduckie 0]

Today it was rather cool and I still have tons of yard work to do, so I pulled out a long sleeve t-shirt.

2XL -- Says "Sturgis 2005" -- I think it has a skull and biker designs on it.......if you've ever been to Sturgis for Bike Week, you'd know what I'm talking about.

I originally bought this shirt at a men's 2XL because my hips were so big that the bottom of the shirt would ride up. And if I bought it any smaller, then the shirt would be so tight and uncomfortable and just look terrible. :faint:

So we went to the dump and then the store and as I was walking toward the entrance of the store, I realized the shirt hung past my hips, over my butt and basically looked like a dress! I stopped dead in the middle of the parking lot and told my husband, "look! Look at my shirt!" and he kind of looked at me like I was crazy. I said, "no, LOOK at how my shirt fits! It's the first time I've ever worn this shirt when it just HUNG on me!" Then I wiggle my butt and danced to the entrance of the store. :clap2:

I'm sure the other customers thought I was crazy, but I didn't care. :heh: It's a small NSV, but I'll take anything I can! :biggrin1: Also, if I have to pull my pants up one more time......... :grouphug:

Hi Marci,

Glad to hear you are doing so well.

I have had the same problem with my pants. I got so tired of my crotch hanging down to my knees that I came up with a solution.

I have threaded elastic through most of my pants. I then can just tie the elastic tighter as they get loose. It beats having to buy a whole new wardrobe for the summer.

My husband just shakes his head and laughs when he sees me pull out the scissors, safety pin and elastic. I am way to thrifty for my own good sometimes, but, I like my summer clothes and I don't want to spend money on clothes that I will only wear one season.

When I hit -50, I will Celebrate with a new bra and outfit! I might not make it to -50 for the bra. The "girls" just aren't what they used to be :grouphug:. That's actually a good thing!

Anyway, I was glad to hear good things from another early May bandster.

Wow! Someone from Wyoming! w00t!

Grats on your NSV and I don't think it was a small one at all! Get prepared for lots more. I swear this has got to be the adventure of a lifetime. Every week brings new surprises and joys. :grouphug:

Marci! Congratulations!

I know what you mean by those "souvenier" shirts. I bought some for the very same reasons you did. Now they fit more like dresses. No more "sticking" to my butt! Woo Hoo!!

When I would buy a new Harley shirt I almost always bought a mens because I refuse to look like a stuffed sausage on the back of the bike. I now have a wardrobe of really good Harley night shirts to sleep in and bum around the house because they look like dresses otherwise.

It sure feels good doesn't it

Good for you on your NSV! That first "wow it's really working" is actally a bit more than a small NSV...you go girl!

YAY FOR YOU!

Skye

And....who cares if folks think you look silly dancing into the store in your Sturgis dress :grouphug: you feel good....you look good....you are doing GREAT!

Congrats .

I too bought shirt from a theme park and it was too tight . The other day I gave it away. As you lose ,you will want to buy new clothes. Get ready for the ride of a lifetime. Just think lower grocery bills = more money for clothes.

ENJOY:clap2:
