Right after surgery (about 2 weeks I would guess, it was before returning to work), I went through my closet and tossed tons of clothes. Many were things that I just didn't like, were worn out, out dated, or getting too big. I kept a few items that still had tags or that were never worn and a few things that were a few sizes smaller than I was currently wearing.
So after going shopping last Friday, I decided to retry everything in my closet. Woohoo! The pants that I saved because they were a few sizes smaller, with tags, fit! Well, sorta. They were loose fitting! I now have a few new pairs of pants to wear for the next few weeks until they start falling off of me. However, I am a little upset that a couple of pairs I kept I have now bypassed in size. They look REALLY bad and large. I guess getting into a size 26 at the Avenue Friday wasn't a fluke after all. I actually got into a pair of Walmart size 28 pants from 5 years ago! Everyone knows that Walmart size 28 runs slightly smaller than a Lane Bryant or Avenue size 28, more like a size 26.
My polo shirts are fitting nicely. Come to find out they are mostly sizes 22/24. I guess I blocked out buying shirts in those sizes. I quit wearing them because I was frustrated with them riding up above my waistline. My only concern now is the way my arms are looking in them. I have lost some inches from my arms, and they are starting to look a little weird. I am sure I will get over it. :)
