Pant sizes and Dress NSV (Pics)

To start off this story, I started my journey at a size 24/26 pant size and never even looked into regular sized shops.

So, I went to the mall today to try to figure out what size pants I was. I knew I had dropped at least a size as my newest ones (American size 13s) were beginnig to feel a little looser than I like. I tried on a pair of 9s and I totally ROCKED them!! I didn't buy, though. I'm still on my journey and I'm hoping to lose a couple more sizes.

Anyways, for the dress. I went walking through the mall to see if anything new had come in for any of the other stores. I eventually passed by American Eagle. There on display was a cute little lacy dress. I was bored and thought "Hey, why not." I picked up the very first display one which happened to be a medium and was paired with a really cute jean jacket, also a medium. (I'm addicted to jean jackets!). Lo and behold THEY FIT! MEDIUMS!!! IN AMERICAN EAGLE!!! FIT!! Even the salesman was liking the way they looked. I know he's a salesman and is supposed to say it looks good no matter what, but he genuinely seemed to like it.

And, now what you all wanted to see: DRESS PICS!!
