Getting frisky with the sales lady... NSV

I had myself a little NSV today. I have officially sized out of my old small clothes from years ago with the exception of 1 skirt. So, I had to go buy 2 new skirts, and wait for it...I used to be a tight 24 and today I bought a size 12 and a size 10 (has a little stretch). I had grabbed size 16s and the sales lady was like "Honey, I don't think that is your size, why don't I get you something smaller." I was expecting 14s and when I saw what she sizes she brought I just laughed, okay I may have even snorted, but when they actually fit, I let out a little scream and hugged the sales lady (embaressing my lovely daughter). I think the size 10 is probably vanity sizing, but I don't care I'll take it. Oh, and better yet they were both 60% off. I'm pretty much peeing rainbows today (expression from a crazy old uncle).

A quick picture reference, on the left the last skirt I bought a size 24 and on the right the size 10 I bought today! I cannot wait to be in the single digits, only 40ish more pounds to go.

    What a great day. I too have no idea what size I am and rely on friends shopping with me. I always reach for cloths that are too big.
    Congratulations on your new size. Hope you brain catches up with your success.

    You look like the daughter of the person in the before picture (sorry if that sounds insensitive) what I mean is you look great!

    And who doesn't want to buy a sexy new skirt? Good day, huh.

    No offense taken, when I look back at my old pictures I do not think I realzed how much older I looked and I used to be worried that people would notice my greys and really my grey hairs were the least of my worries. I think too as we lose weight we stand taller and smile more, both of which make us look so much younger.

    Thanks to everyone for the kind words and I don't own a cell phone or I would have snapped the sales lady's picture. Hopefully, that hug was as good for her as it was for me. haha
