Butterthebean 8,146 Posted September 16, 2012 Way to go. I've been reluctantly buying clothes on the clearance rack because I don't want to spend a bunch of money on stuff that's not going to fit me in 6 months. Also, my wedding ring will not stay on at all, but same thing, I don't want to resize it...only to have to resize it again. You wouldn't think you're fingers would shrink that much. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You wouldn't think you're fingers would shrink that much. There is a cheap solution to the ring pblm. Ask your jeweler for a ring guard. It slips onto the bottom of the ring and can be made smaller as needed. Then, when you're done, u can spend the bucks to have the ring resized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
