Shopping

Apr 02, 2011

Had a great day today. I have exactly two pairs of jeans. I've had them for several years and wear them on the weekends or to work when I have physical work to do. Today I put one of the pairs on and realized that without a belt, the pants would fall down around my ankles. I decided to to go shopping.  I used to wear a size 48 pair of pants. Today we went to the mall and I decided on a lark to look in Tommy Hilfinger. Here's the thing, 4 weeks ago, I never would have dreamed about going into a designer store like this. Designers never have clothes for larger size people and I would never have wanted to set myself for disappointment. But I felt pretty good today and decided to at least take a look. Tommy's largest pair of jeans for men are size 44. I tried them on and they fit loosly so I decided to try on the next smaller pair.  I'm happy to report that I now wear size 42 pants. This is amazing because it's been 15 years since I wore that size.  I'm totally blown away! This makes all the work worthwhile. After purchasing the Tommy Hilfiger jeans, we went to Target and I purchased two more pairs in the same size! I'm very happy!
