Yesterday I traveled to the big city to do some PTO shopping. While at the big warehouse store that starts with a S and is part of the Wally World corporation, I found a trench coat.
It is the perfect weight for down here. Not heavily insulated but lined and waterproof. I bought a size XL to give myself a little room in the bust. I am sure in a month it will be a little bigger and perfect when I need to wear a sweater under it.
I am still in complete shock that something out of the regular size department will fit. Last year at this time, I would have been looking for a 3 or 4X in the plus size.
A whole new shopping world has opened up. UH-OH!!! Boy, is my hubby in trouble. I don't know if I have revealed this before but I was a fashion merchandising major in college. I used to eat, breathe and sleep fashion. Now I can shop anywhere again. My bank account may never be the same!
But, it sure is nice not to have to question whether I will fit into something. Again, it is very surreal to me.
I hope all of you out there in blog land have had a great few days! I am really enjoying seeing all the pictures from BOOBS. Hopefully, next year I will be able to go.
I will leave you with a picture of the purchased coat. When I looked at the picture I smiled real big because my waist is reappearing! DIVINE!!!
The yoga capris and bare feet really make this jacket pop! HA!
Love the coat!!
ReplyDeleteI am starting to enjoy shopping for the first time ever!I went to Lane Bryant the other day because I had a 50% off coupon, and was pleased to be able to buy 14/16 top and jacket. Last year it was 2X!
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute jacket. I may have to take a trip to the place that starts with S!
