As of today, I have gone from a size 52 waist to a size 38 since January of this year (approaching 80 lbs. lost). I now can get back in clothes that fit me in late 80’s (post disco stuff). Well instead of going out buy new expensive clothes I started dressing in the old 1980’s and 1990’s apparels. Hey, they fit; I am saving money, feeling good, what else is there to worry about – right. Wrong, my 20 year old son mentioned to me, a young lady asked him had I been away to prison because my style of clothes looks like I just got out of jail and have not kept up the latest fashions. That kind of burned my grits, not being a slave to new styles and wanting to save a few bucks in these rough times caused me rethink my logic toward new clothing.

New jeans, cool shirts, and of course nice foot ware, why not get a few custom made shirts for a tailored suit for Father’s Day. Life changing moments is what's all about with us sleever’s. May all of our problems be so good? Also, I am not an ex-convict (smile).

Take care.

LOL!!

Congrats!

hey you were getting attention from a young lady!! lol

Ha ha ha! That is hillarious! Are you "lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground"? JK! Hey, I'll take the convict look anyday. Go to Walmart and buy yourself a couple pairs of jeans, they're pretty cheap there. Congrats on your weight loss too, that is just awesome!!! Lisa

Thank you for the post and giggles. Guess we all need to think about our "new" style seriously.

love the story. . . but really, i personally wouldn't have cared what that young woman said . . . she is probably one of those divas that have to have all the latest fashions. . . i wear all my 80's stuff and you know what? I get told i look really cool. . . if you look into some of the magazines, you'll notice those styles are coming back in. . . but oh well. . . don't throw them out quite yet. . . know what looks really weird? A 50 year old woman wearing her 20 year old daughters clothes from American Eagle, Wet Seal, etc. . . now that looks weird. . . but like you, hey they fit and i'm a tight wad and work too hard for my money to spend on clothes right now. . . hehehe. . . i say wear whats comfortable who cares what others think anyhow. . . your here to please yourself not the jones. . . good luck!

I LOL'D in real life Congrats on your weightloss

Oh my gosh that is a funny story! I agree, go buy some new things and maybe you can still mix and match so you don't scream 1989 with your clothing.

Hey, no fair!! Where are the fashion parade photos? Let us check out these duds for ourselves!

Dude, you just cracked me up! Congrats!!

Haha! I like 80's fashion! But you really do deserve to treat yourself to some new stuff! The main thing is, you feel good in your clothes. Congrats on the weight loss!

Thanks

80 fashions is cool, some stuff I like but others needs to be replace. You are correct, I should treat myself to new clothes. I have a new look, a new body and a new attitude.

Thanks
