10 Years I held on to them

Treece68

10 Years ago I bought Khaki pants in the same size as a pair of grey pants I owned both from Old Navy. When they arrived they did not fit I could not even squeeze into them.
I also bought a black dress from Fashion Bug the same size as another dress I bought from the same company it would not even zip up. Both were online purchases.
I would try both of these things on randomly throughout the years, and for some reason I kept them even when moving and purging items.
Sunday they both fit I wore the pants Monday to work!!!! This solves the problem of me needing new Khaki pants for work my old ones were way to big and baggy.
Now I will have to go to a fancy party to wear my dress.
SUCCESS!
.... I wonder if the lace shirt I got for Christmas x amount of years ago would fit now to? I will have to drag that out as well.

Cool! Fitting into clothing that was previously too small is a great feeling!

GO YOU! The white jeans in my profile picture hung in my closet like a badge of shame for at least 5 years Putting those suckers on is TRIUMPH!

Congrats, I totally get the excitement of getting into clothes that have been sitting in your closet, mocking you. When I got back into a favourite dress I actually broke out in this 80s tune by Peaches & Herb

Reunited, and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit
And, sugar, this one is it…

I've got a pair of black jeans mocking me in the wardrobe, can get them on again now, just need to be able to zip them up, nearly there ....

That must feel amazing ! Good job. I finally donated the clothes I have been hanging on to for 10 years. If I get back down I deserve new jeans

I have this pair of jeans that my grandmother & I tie-dyed in her bathtub (never mind the year). Anyway gained weight & they didn't fit for a long time (but held on to them anyway); they fit now like they did when I bought them.
