So at my job we wear uniformed Shirts,sweaters,vest..ti's your choice...we have set dates on when they give us an amount of money and we go on the landsend sight and order whatever we want. Well last time we ordered was back in April..which is around the time I had literally just had my son..well 5 months later..i'm probably around 50-60 lbs lighter than I was when I last ordered so my uniforms are literally falling off of me..even my shirt from two yrs ago I digged up that was way small..well I just can't wait till we get to order again in October. So one day when my district manager is in he pulls me into the office and I think oh god what is this about...so he says "no offense..but I noticed your uniforms are a bit to big..and I don't want you looking sloppy..do you need new uniforms? because if so we'll order you some early"...that was music to my ears..So I got to order two of my choice..I figured I'd order Cardigans because thats something you can wear more times a week than a shirt...can you believe I got to order from the NORMAL WOMENS section..not PLUS SIZE....it felt amazing..granted the whole time in the back of my head I was saying this is going to be a bit tight..but it will fit after a while..So just to be safe I ordered something a bit larger also..Well the other day only one came in so far and it was the smaller than my normal size..so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it on...well you wouldn't believe it...IT FITS ALMOST PERFECT! It's actually a little loose in some places! so when I get that larger size looks like i'll be doing some exchanging!
Lol..sorry for Rambling but I just can't express how excited I am to be able to shop in the normal woman sizes...in october when we order we get about 50 extra dollars ontop of what we normally get due to winter coming..Well since I don't have to order in the plus size that means I can get wayyy more since they're cheaper!
and oh yeah! and cant go without a pic!

(only thing I really dislike about this pic is that how my sweater bunches a bit and makes it look like rolls!)

    Hey! That's so exciting! And what an awesome reward and acknowledgement of your hard work that your boss noticed and had you "fix the problem" early! Such encouragement, I'm sure!
