My 23 year old shirt!

Today I'm wearing this old thing my wife always called her "Conquest shirt". Here's the story...
Before I met my wife I was seeing a woman named Laurie. I was in the service, it was along distance thing, we didn't really hit it that well - it was no great romance. I think she was just looking for someone to help her raise her kids. She gave me a nice dark blue cotton shirt, athletic cut, size XL. It fit at the time.
Then I met Lady Di and was knocked right outta my shoes. She took me, I really had no say in the matter. C'ya Laurie - have a nice life sweetie. Then Di took the shirt. It looked good on her, and either of us would wear it once in a while. She took me, and then she took Laurie's shirt - and she could, and she loved it. Anybody who thinks women don't dig power should read this story.
She's a good cook, and I'm a good cook, and life kinda happened, and pretty soon I couldn't wear the shirt anymore. She continued to wear it. Eventually it wound up in the back of the closet.
Well - now the shirt is 23 years old. Our 2 kids are grownups. I've lost almost 60 pounds. I'm about the smallest I've been since high school. And the shirt fits again. A new/old wardrobe, right there in the closet.

Love the story about your wife too. :happy:0 -
That's great! I can't wait till a few old things in the back of my closet fit too. It's cool that your wife didn't mind the shirt was given to you by a previous sort of fling. There's hope for the rest of us yet:)0

I lost 45lbs over the last year and a half (teetering up and down 5lbs or so...)I recently tried on my senior prom dress from 11 years ago, and IT FITS!! Just as it did 11 years ago! Now I need some motivation to loose the 5lbs that I struggle with! LOL!0 -

Congrats!! I too tried mine on after losing 43 pounds. (I went to prom in 2000) and unfortunately, it does not fit yet
However, I am wearing clothes from 2002 that I havent been able to get in since 2002 (I got pregnant and had 3 kids and got married since then).0 -
Great story! Keep up the good work!0

I loved that! What an awesome story. Its awesome to fit into clothing that we haven't been able to fit into for years, but even more awesome when its a piece of clothing that has a bit of history. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!0
