Hi! My name is Ashley and I am a clothing addict. I love cute clothes and shoes. I have a TON of super cute, trendy clothes. Not trying to sound like a big tme fashionista but I have always been complemented on how I dress. That is a flattering comment when you are a chubby girl. I do NOT buy expensive clothes. Well, I should say I do not pay a lot of money for my clothes. Always looking for good deals, bargains, consignment and thrift deals. Love Ebay too! So a lot of time, energy and money went into finding cute clothes for a big body. Hard to see them all go away.....in a weird way. Here is why I am in such a frustrating place with the clothing:
-I can put my jeans on and take them off with the button and zipper closed. They slide down my hips and butt when I walk. I have to pull on them all day. Very uncomfortable and do not look professional (can wear jeans 3 days a week at work). Jeans are meant to fit!
-I LOVE Old Navy pajama pants. One of my most fav pieces of clothing. I fit (past tense) nicely in a size XL with no problem. Now, the XL swallow me and look like huge clown pants. The tighter I tie the cute little ribbon tie, the bigger the pants look. Not fun or comfy at all.
-I had a ton of clothes I couldn't wait to wear again. I had saved several pieces with the anticipation of wearing them again. I totally blinked and missed the window of opportunity. Like....overnite. Like.....frustrated. There were some clothes, kinda of like that first love you never stop loving, that you want to have just one more chance with. Well, I didn't get that chance and I have faith that like all other missed opportunities it just wasn't meant to be and I have moved on to "smaller", better clothing relationships!
-I am totally out of wearing any Plus size or XXL clothing. Misses XL tops are getting to be too big for me. I am in about a 14/16 misses right now for pants/jeans. I can wear size large in most of my favorite brands. This is especially fab for dresses. I can wear cute, fitted dresses finally!! I can wear juniors sized clothing too! This is really awesome because I still like to try to pull off a few trends every now and then.
-I am a huge southern football fan. Roll Tide and love my Noles!! I have one large drawer in my dresser dedicated to football shirts. At my heavest stage, I was best in men's shirts that had my fav football logo. But, I have about 10 cute girly football shirts. These were too small and not flattering even if I did get them on. I could not wait to be able to wear these this football season. Now......ALL my favorite football shirts are way too big to wear. The cute cute girl cut shirts look like maternity shirts on me. The regular t-shirts look like I am wearing my boyfriend's shirt to sleep in a nite. But they were so cute before! This is TRAGIC!! I am serioulsy stressing.
As much as this is a wonderful place to be, this is an expensive loss and a really expensive replacement cost. I do not want to buy new clothes. I will lose a lot more weight and a ton more inches. I am selling all of my clothes I can no longer wear. I am hoping to have them all sold soon. Will buy enough to get through the fall/winter season. Hopefully by next summer I am pretty much at my goal weight and will have a much better idea what I will be wearing.....forever!!
