Goal Outfit

[SouthernSleever 228]

I shop sales and when I was at Target in December they were marking down a bunch of jeans. I bought a size 14 and size 13 pair. I don't remember ever being in a 14. When I had my sleeve I was in 22/24. So while I was on a long stall I kept trying those 14s on and about a month ago they fit! I've been wearing them eversince They are getting a little baggy for my taste but it will be a while before I fit into the 13s. I love buying ahead and working my way into jeans. It helps because I only tend to lose weight (on the scale) 1 week out of the month even though I'm getting smaller.

They were made back in the day before stores started making the vanity sizing. I have one pair 16's Levi's that I can get into now, and 2 pairs of 14's!!

I was wondering about this - the "vanity sizing." Back when I was smaller, when I lost 100 pounds and weighed about 165-170, I wore a 16. *Very rarely* a 14 (mis-sized, usually). I am 5-6". I think sizing has changed, also on the large sizes too. My mom died in 1995 and I took a lot of her clothes. Many were 10 years or more old and I couldn't wear several items that were size 24, even though in current sizes I was in a 20W. Anyway, I have several boxes of 16's in the attic, and I'd be thrilled to wear them again.

i dont have a goal outfit...that seems too far ahead for me. But my mom bought a size 18 summer dress that was too big for her and we are hoping that I can wear it this summer
