My Cute Clothes Aren't Cute Anymore

juniperleaves · May 2013

I'm really looking forward to shrinking out of my clothes! I've even set up a reward system so that every month or so, I get to go to the thrift store and buy a few new things along the way.

Not only that, but being able to shop in my own "clothes that won't fit over my giant butt anymore" bucket is going to be AH-mazing!

I made due with thrift store clothes, hand-me-downs and seriously old clothes from the back of the closet until I hit goal. Then I went out and splurged on all new pants. It was an awesome feeling. I also did a serious purge of the closet and got rid of nine bags of clothes that were out of style or finally too big. It was incredible how cleasning that was!

And in a similar vein to yours, I had bought a cute pair of expensive jeans that were too small but were on sale. The first time I wore them my legs went numb and I was sporting some SERIOUS muffin top! (I wore them with a thigh-length sweater.) Not to mention they rode low enough that I was almost a "crack baby"! Now the pants are too loose to be cute going-out jeans and I have to wear serious heels with them now that there is 30 lbs. less "junk in the trunk" pulling them up.

Good job on your journey!!! Keep it up!!!

I know how you feel. Broke my heart the day I had to finally put away my favorite gray pinstripped Calvin Klein suit. I'm hoping the discount suit store I bought it still has it, only in a much smaller size.
