Shopping Victories!

Today I got to go shopping for new shoes and new bras.

For the bras I went to a specialty store called Bloomers and got fitted - something I've never done before. It was a surprisingly good experience. The woman who helped me was super friendly and I felt very comfortable! I tried on a bunch of bras and came home with three. I had intended to only get two, but I loved one of them so much that I had to get it in two different colors. And I went from a 38H to a 38DD. I probably could have gotten away with the 36, but the 38 was a bit more comfortable. Yay!

Then I walked down the street to Pacers for sneakers and, for the first time ever, the shoes that worked best were actually women's shoes. I can't even remember the last time I was able to wear women's sneakers. :D I'm so super happy about that.

A good bra fitting is a must. It helps the girls and helps you walk taller. Enjoy your sneakers.

That is awesome! Congratulations! I get to go jeans shopping tomorrow (went to a movie last night and he said those are falling off of you) and I think I can finally find some in a regular store. Keep up the great work!
