OK, so its time to get Christmas clothes for our annual managers party that I help another manager
put on for the southern Illinois managers. I have lost enough weight that I have no real dress
clothes to wear and I really have nothing in a Christmas motif. DH says so what if you only wear it
this year, you should get something... so... Nothing close to what I want at target, one red dress
at Burlington but is just a red dress nothing special, OK then onward to dressbarn for women, nice
clothes, mid-range clothes that hold up pretty well, we go in, DH sees a red outfit he thinks will
do and pulls jacket off hanger to let me try it on, first nsv, it is a 14/16 I am feeling great
about that as the last thing I bought in this store was either a 22 or 24... Just then saleswoman
walks up and after the initial pleasantries, says that just won't do, not at all... looks DH and
says, see how the arms are hanging, and see how it is here on her back, DH says I see your point,
Then she says to me, You need to go to the other side of the store,, I stand there thinking but I am
on the "woman's side" now where do I go, I look at DH and say is this a bad thing, and bless his
heart he says, only if you don't want to buy a misses 14/16!!! I didn't buy the very nice outfit we
looked at in a size 14 misses for the top and 16 miss for the skirt but it was because I did not
want to buy a one wear outfit for over eighty dollars... then...
We end up buying me a size medium button up shirt at Gordmans with a Christmas motif and a size 14
skirt, that while a bit too snug will be wearable for quite a while... Two more NSVs...
Then to Wally world to finish off with a size 8/10 vest with those snowmen and sparkly things... NSV
there as well
The party was great and my friend I helped to arrange the party said I looked about the best she has
ever seen me, I was very pleased with the clothes, DH's taste and support, the sizes, and the
compliments I got... This is already too long or I would tell you I hosted a major part of the party
and ate the buffet and was well under my points and had all I wanted, but I will not do that as it
might appear I am bragging,
Lee actually starting to look forward to the holidays
