My skirt just got longer...

Tuesday, April 20, 2010

... or tales of clothing that actually fits.

I put on my favourite skirt this morning. It's a cute A-line brown plaid that hits right about mid calf. For the past year, I have been wearing it at about knee length. I had it slid up so that the waist was right under "the girls". Turns out that it fits again. I have the waist of the skirt now sitting on my waist!

The scale may not have moved this week, my clothing has! Looks like it's time to go shopping! However, since I plan to not be at the next size down for long, I will be only shopping clearance, re-sale, Goodwill, Sally's Boutique (That's Salvation Army to those not in the know). I will pay no more than $10 for any piece of "in between" clothing.

It's the small things we have to enjoy, my SparkFriends.

May all your skirts get longer! emoticon

    In Canada I have found Winners great for my new inbetween clothing as I blew past some of the old clothes in my closet.

Which I am not upset about at all!!!

Here's to longer skirts and longer pants! I now will not have to shop in the Tall section anymore.

    Oh that's great! And what I really like is your comment about the scale not moving, but your skirt did. It's so important to look for the positive changes other than relying on the scale.
Good for you!

Good for you. I'm so wanting that feeling.

    AWESOME!!! That's a great feeling! I have a pair of pants on today that I am having trouble keeping them up, and the length has gotten so long they keep wrapping under my heels on top of my sandals! LOL

Great Shopping ideas! I never thought to look there for "in between" clothes!

    Woo hoo! I know that EXACT feeling lol. I bought a lot of in-between clothes recently too, but mainly stuff that I can wear even when it's loose, like tees. Jeans I'm holding off on, tho I got some (drawstring) shorts. In a 14! Holy cow! But yeah, everything else is on the cheap for now. We have many sizes to go and we WILL get there! =)
