So today I went to the mall in desperate need of new jeans. All my jeans all falling off me and I don't have any at the next lower size. Anyways all the jeans in the plus size sections or stores are too big for me! Yes- I was finally able to purchase jeans again in a regular store! Been a long time and I was so happy to be back. It was like seeing an old friend! I'm here again and this time to stay. I will not go back to the plus sizes!!! What a great feeling- can't wait to wear my new jeans!

So exciting! Congratulations!

That is awesome! Good for you :-) I cannot wait for that day!!

this was one of my favorite NSVs as well!!!!!

That's great! I have bought new tops, but have been holding off on jeans, but probably in the next couple weeks I will go jeans shopping!

Wow, congratulations! I am also looking forward to someday kissing the plus size stores goodbye. Heck, I'm not a fancy person...so I'm kind of looking forward to having more choices at the thrift shops, but I am also looking forward to having more affordable clothing options at "regular" stores.

It's a great feeling! I was able to buy size 14 jeans at Old Navy the other day - WOOT!

YAY you!!!!! What a great surprise that must have been! I think I look forward to that day more than Onederland!!

CONGRATS!!!!

This must have felt great! Work it gurl!

That is sooo AWESOME!! :Banane55:

Wow, what an amazing journey! That's a fantastic NSV

YAYYYYYYYYYYY! Congrats sweetie!

I can't wait until this happens to me. I think plus size clothing is so unflattering and unstylish. I used to think my clothes were so cool but now I see they were meant to hide my hugeness. I'm at size 14 top and 18 bottoms right now so I hope I go down quick so I never have to shop in a plus size store like Avenue or Lane Bryants again!!

Congrats & I totally understand how all of you feel ... I was a size 22/24 just 5 months ago, and now and squeezing into a size 14 ... when I was first able to squeeze into a size 18 jean, i was thrilled! I hadn't worn anything with a fitted waistband for probably 15 years .... it was so thrilling! I never thought I would be able to wear jeans, and now I can't stop myself from buying them (but inexpensive ones - like levis at TJMax or even Calvin Klein's at TJMax, since I know in two months i hopefully will be packing them up & buying next size down - yeah!!!) ... I am totally loving my sleeve! I have packed up all my plus size clothes (some really georgous stuff from Eileen Fisher) and hopefully will have a yard sale and sell fabulously cheap to other plus sized women in the spring! :-)

I LOVE THIS!!! It is such a great feeling! I remember feeling completely overwhelmed in the "regular" section of the store...like a stranger in a strange land. I got over that pretty quick and am wearing 12's and even 10's in some things (down from a 22/24!) I dont' feel like such a stranger anymore, and am generally still amazed that things fit.
