My First NSV - The "Sausage" Shirt

So I have had this shirt that, for the last four years or so, has lived in the back of my closet, mocking me. I had bought the wrong size by mistake and when I got it home and realized my error, I never got around to taking it back to the store and getting the bigger size. I tried it on, and my husband and I both agreed that it made me look like a horrible, light blue, stuffed sausage. Thus we dubbed it "The Sausage Shirt."
Ever since, that shirt has been hanging in my closet; a grim reminder of what I had not yet achieved. A few months back, I tried it on again and, again, it mocked me and clung mercilessly to the wrong curves. I put it back on the hanger, gritted my teeth and thought to myself, "One of these days..."
Well that day has come. I put that damn shirt on today and I did not look like a sausage. I looked good. Finally.
Guess what I am wearing to my next night out with the girlfriends? You got it, the Sausage Shirt. Of course, now I will have to call it something else...

I love it! I have a couple pair of capri pants that I bought last summer. Got home, tried them on, and of course, they didn't fit. Too embarrassed to take them back, and my legs looked like HUGE ham hocks. This summer, THEY FIT!!! Thanks for sharing!!0
