well i did it....i finally cleaned out my closet....the women's 20s, 18s, 16s and 14s i have been wearing or should i say swimming in have officially been replaced with..........drumroll please.............12s and 14s from ALL REGULAR STORES.........no women's departments shopped in today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i shopped at ny&company, ann taylor loft, macy's, jcpenneys and kohls today...

i bought 3 pair of cotton capris, 3 pair of denim capris, 4 skorts (2denim, 1 khaki, 1 RED), 2 pairs of cotton dress shorts, 7 short sleeve size L tshirts (dressier), a size 16 tankini bather and a L coverup, 3 pairs of L workout pants, 4 new XL (i like them roomier) workout tshirts....i tried on 3 very pretty dresses but just didnt feel perfect in them so i passed for now...

BUT the best part of my entire day besides my new full closet is that i now KNOW that no matter what i need clothes for: a dressy function, work, play, workout, casual - i can walk into ANY STORE on ANY CORNER and buy something....there will be a size for me....i no longer have to go to the women's department or special plus size stores....i have not been able to do this since middle school??? i called my mom tonight and asked her what size i was in high school and she said, 18-20???? i wasnt really sure and then i remembered the jeans i have from fashion bug still that i was just recently able to get into that are 20s...the are very very very straight legged with nooooo give/room so they might actually be smaller than a 20 but the label says 20 on it.....i have never in all my memory been a 12 or a 14????? i absolutely feel great....

here a few pics of my closet LOL...i'll add some more later of me in some of the outfits as i put them on...i'll take pics in the mirror each morning until i cycle thru the new loot.....

thanks for sharing with me the end of my amazing day.....you all have been a HUGE part of my most recent success and i will be eternally grateful for all the spectacular support i receive from you guys on a weekly, daily sometimes hourly basis....you guys are DA BOMB!!!!

empty space my old *kitten* took up...

    Awesome and congratulations!!!! I am very inspired by your success, and can't wait to have my own shopping spree!! (I've been in juniors' size 17/19 jeans for the past 6 years or so, and my newest pair is getting baggy, yaayyy!!)

    I LOVE this story! It's so wonderful to reward your hard work! You totally deserve it! I especially like the one picture of all your new clothes with the treadmill in the background-- it shows how hard you worked to earn those pretty new outfits!

    one of the funnier things i remember saying today is nothing with a draw string or elastic waist....LOL....one pair of capris have a button and a string but the string will come in handy when they get too big LOL
