Nsv!!

Snapdragon · September 9, 2008

I did the dance of joy yesterday! My husband and I are going on a 14-day Caribbean cruise in February and I ordered two sundresses online the other day. I tried to guesstimate what size I'd be in Februrary, but it's so hard to do!

Before surgery I was a 30/32 on top. I ordered the sundresses NOW because everything summery is on sale (vacation costs really add up!). I ordered myself a 2X - from Old Navy! I couldn't believe I was actually ordering from Old Navy...somewhere other than The Avenue, Lane Bryant, etc. Granted, it's from the Women's Plus section of Old Navy, but who cares.

Anyway, the dresses arrived yesterday. They're actually a little TOO big! I can't believe it! I was so excited I was dancing around my husband's shop (he's a mechanic).

The scale still says I weigh A LOT, but I don't care. I've always weighed heavy (I'm big boned), so I'm just going with my dress size and how I look and feel!

I don't even care that these dresses may be too big in February. Whoop whoop!

Whoo hoo! Dance on!

But why not return the dresses if they are too big now, and go for a smaller size? You know you will continue to lose weight over the next 4 months or so, so really, treat yourself. Exchange them for ones at a minimum one size smaller (to be conservative) and 2 sizes smaller if you are feeling more adventurous.

Congratulations!

Btw most of the old Navys discontinued the sale of plus sizes in store but they do still take the returns in store from online :biggrin: So if you wanna reorder something just take it in for credit, get a smaller size, and work towards that size

You're doing awesome with your weight loss and it's always a wonderful NSV when you hit milestones in clothing sizes!

Keep up the great work!

Girl, way to go!! Now, you know you'll want to dance even more on the cruise so if possible, I'd return for smaller size too!

We're going on a 7day cruise week of Christmas. I'll need new clothes too because mine right now are getting big. Since I'm paying a lot for the cruise, I want to look good!! I was looking at Coldwater Creek online at their outlet stuff. I'm just now getting into 16's and sicne we're talking 3mos away, I'm ordering 14's!!
