NSV: Jeans!

I don't wear jeans that much anymore, so even though all of my clothes are firmly in the "regular" sizes now, I still had 2 pairs of jeans that I bought last year that were plus size (on the small end, but still had that damn W after the number). I put off trying on jeans because a) I hardly ever wear them and b) I didn't want to get frustrated since traditionally I've always had to go up a size in jeans anyway.
Yesterday I finally bit the bullet and went to the Gap to try some on. I was a little nervous and even more nervous because Gap changed their sizing system for jeans since the last time I paid attention and I had no idea what "number" I was. I grabbed a pair, went into the dressing room, and...voila! They totally fit with zero issues (except length)!! I actually started jumping up and down in the dressing room. :-)
I wanted to buy them on the spot but they didn't have short length in store. :-( But please believe I came home and ordered those suckers online immediately, lol!
It's been a slow and steady process, but, as a former retail manager, being completely 100% back in regular sizes is a major win for me. Shopping is actually fun again - now I just have to shake that anxiety I still sometimes get when I go into stores worrying that nothing will fit (because it does now).
