Another NSV (NonScale Victory)

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.  :)
