JustWatchMe 7,117 Posted August 7, 2014 I had a pair of professional fitted slacks I have not worn in five years. No elastic whatsoever. They were tight even when I bought them. I tried them on a month ago and they were still tight at the waist. Today I tried them on and they are baggy!!!!! I'm wearing them but they kinda look like clown pants. Moral of the story is don't miss your clothing size window! Dig through that closet frequently. This made me very happy today. *clownish grin to go with my clown pants* 10 asheyrae, gowalking, tomdelo and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted August 7, 2014 ^5s One of my fav NSVs are phone calls from charities looking for old clothes. I used to never give up my old clothes as I thought there would come a day I might be able to wear them again. Now, it's, "sure, come on down, I'll put a bag on the porch". I have no problem giving away my old baggy shirts and pants(same ones I refused to give away 3 years ago). Never want to go back there again. 4 asheyrae, Debbie3sons, Lady VS and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomdelo 120 Posted August 7, 2014 Funny topic, I went away for two weeks on vacation and brought my skinny shorts I owned. well bringing up the bags to our room my shorts ended down by my ankles. I have never needed a belt so now all my shorts fall off. I now have to shop for new shorts this week. 6 pink dahlia, 2muchfun, chrissy10 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have never needed a belt so now all my shorts fall off. I now have to shop for new shorts this week. I have 4 pair of Docker type shorts. 2 of them require a belt now. If I don't use a belt, the weight of my keys, wallet and cell phone can cause my shorts to fall off too. 6 Debbie3sons, Leepers, JustWatchMe and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terrydumont46 1,954 Posted August 7, 2014 I had clothes from size 26 and 3x down to size 12. I haven't needed to buy anything but panties and bra's. but somehow I missed the entire size 1x. I can wear them but the neck hangs a bit and my butt area is saggy. not my butt but the pants. I had to go to my husband jeans at size 36. he says it is fine with him but saving money is always okay with him until I cut the legs off a pair of his jeans to make cut offs. 4 tomdelo, Bmjohnson, JustWatchMe and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pink dahlia 2,513 Posted August 7, 2014 Congrats to all ! Love the nsv stories !! Besides cleaning out the closet of too big clothes, my favorite one was trying on a pair of size 12 -14 jeans at home, but could nt get them buttoned or zipped... about 4 weeks later, they fit very comfortably ! I remember yelling for my husband, jumping up and down , saying over and over, " they fit ! they fit ! they fit !!!!!" He must of thought I was looney tunes.......... 3 tomdelo, 2muchfun and JustWatchMe reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
