Best NSV yet!

[anonemouse 1]

I went shopping today for some new pants. My 16Ws were getting big. I'd tried on my mom's 14Ws, and they worked, so that's what I was intending to get. Well, once I got to the Liz Claiborne outlet, and started trying on clothes, I realized that the 14Ws were actually too big. So, I try on the 16 regulars. They WORK! But, they were too long. I asked the sales lady to help me, but apparently the store doesn't carry many short-length regular-size styles. There is a petites section, but the sizes only go up to 14. I was incredibly disappointed and prepared to go home empty-handed.

My mom then comes up to me and nags me into trying the 14P. Granted, the one I tried had a little elastic at the sides, but it was a 14. IT FIT! And the regular, no-elastic was only slightly too small. So, then she came back with a pair of 12Ps. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I got them on. THEY FIT, TOO! Better than the 14Ps did! Again, they had a little elastic at the sides, but I don't even remember when I last wore a size 12. Maybe 7th/8th grade?

Of course, we then lost that pair and couldn't find it again (I tried on probably 25-30 pairs of pants). Hell, even the sales lady couldn't find it. Apparently, that was the only pair of 12Ps with elastic in the sides that they had in the store. Figures. I wound up buying a couple of pairs of 14Ps that fit pretty well, but I wanted those 12Ps, damn it. :confused:

But, hey! I wore a size 12 today! :tt1:

I know what you mean about the apron. I can't wait until I can get my belly cut off, 'cause it does make clothes shopping hell. :tt1: I blame my mom. It's her wonderful genes that did this to me, damn it! :confused:

[coltonwade 27]

I hope so! My mom, who was with me at the time, was irritated because we couldn't find that pair of pants again. But like I told her, I don't plan on being in that size for long, anyway, so there isn't much of a reason to get irritated. I'm just thrilled to be back in regular clothes. :eek:
