I went to buy a shirt or shirts depending on if I found anything good, yesterday because a lot of my clothes are baggy as hell. Well I put a shirt on hold that I saw online. It was a 1X, A lot of my shirts are 2 and 3X. Well when I got there it was to big. I found a 0X = size 14-16 that fit.  I shop at Catherine's local "fat women's store" as my brother used to call them  Shit by Thanksgiving I'll be in regular sizes.Just want to share
I like to wear those denim leggings with long tunics. Those legging can go from skin tight to looking like regular pants if you loose enough weight. I knew a girl who had a bypass lost over a 100 lbs and still wore those same leggings. They just looked like pants. Save me some money there till I can replace my clothes.
I got a bunch of bigger stuff with price tags still attached, do you think I sell them to a consignment type shop, that's what the girl at the store told me to do. I've been dumping thing in the Planet Aid box, but most of it didn't have tags. A lot of this stuff is designer that has the tags, like Liz and Jones.
Also I bought a Venezia Leather swing pant coat from Lane Bryant Catalog it was 40 dollars but has 259 price tag on it. I wonder if I cold sell it and get my money back I ordered a 1X but their 1X is a 22-24. Leather is cut small. I really like it. Does anybody think it would be worth paying to alter and how much is an alter, sending it back would be to big of a pain. When I was at Cathrine's yesterday I saw Leather jacket with a croc design I drooled over . It soon as it comes on sale it is mine, in a 0X.
I have now printed out size chars from the stores I order from, since each one has different interpretation's on what size is what.
I've been focusing on accessories. Good tip Coldwater Creek outlet online has great stuff, cheap. They have free shipping offers frequently or codes for free shipping.

Sounds like you had fun shopping! I don't get the sizes at all. In sewing, I wear a 14. But my jeans are 10, and
I am a 1 at Coldwater Creek. I just bought a fleece jacket from LL Bean to wear as it gets cooler or on trips to the
coast for a couple months. I checked out the sales on line at Chadwicks and found a sweetheart neckline sweater, my
favorite, on sale for 12 bucks, want to order three! But then I saw they showed a coat with a "fur" collar, so I emailed
them that if they sell fur, I don't buy from them, sweetheart neckline or not!

If they don't get the message one way, I'll hit them in the pocketbook. How anyone could think the death of a living
creature for "fashion" is acceptable is beyond me. There are so few of them left already, do they have to die so that
I can look good? Hmmm. Now to see if I can find some other cute sweaters!

I am sooooo with you on this one, sista! I don't understand sport killing either. Incomprehensible to me.
