They opened a brand new Marshall's in the same Mall where I take Zumba on Saturday mornings, and I needed to buy a gift, so I thought I would drop in. Started browsing the jeans/pants, and tried on a few and bought a new pair. The fact that they were only $14.99 was a bonus, but the fact that they were a 16 is my NSV! I started out wearing 20/22W, and these are a 16 - No "W"!!! It's been at least 7 or 8 years since I've worn a 16! And while they are a little on the snug side, I can zip them standing up, so I think that counts as being able to fit in a 16... right?

    Yep, it counts! It counts as long as you don't have to jump off your bed while holding on to the belt loops. God as my witness - my roommate in college did just that!

    CONGRATS!!!!

    Congratulations girl!!! Just as a warning though shopping might get a little dangerous. I started out at a 22W and I began moving through sizes started spending a lot of money. It''s so much fun when things fit, when you're not having to buy something because it fits. One more fun thing is when you try something on and it is a little small you can just grab the next size, not having to go to different department or different store.


    Keep up the amazing work!!! :)
