Today’s shopping trip with Tiff was a rousing success! (Although I’m STILL waiting for that perfect shirt to arrive from Old Navy.)
First off, the great news: I am officially a size 16-18 pants again. That means I can wear a medium to large regular size top. No more plus sized tops! All the pants I tried on fit AMAZING. (Shoes, not so much), but it was was still great.
Yesterday on Facebook I went into more detail of what I wanted and I was actually able to find similar, well-made, but less expesive versions of my clothes, PLUS a khaki “Lois Lane-ish” Jones New York Trench coat, a skirt that fits like a dream and a black-and-white dress that I made look extra fierce. It was just a great self-esteem boost to go shopping and have to ask over and over for the “smaller” size. Gimmie another year and a half and I’ll be at my ideal weight with a healthy BMI!
Anyway. I will take pictures of the clothes and me in them while out and about. For now …. sleep is necessary.
Ciao,

PS. Thanks everyone for the weather-based fashion advice for my trip to Harvard, NYC and DC. I think I have the appropriate look for each place thanks to your advice and some sluething on my own.
Congrats on looking fab in all of your clothes and the trench is fabulous! Gone girl!
