I bought my first piece of clothing since having my surgery 2 months ago. A winter coat. I was beginning to feel like I was wearing a garbage bag, so I just casually strolled into the thrift store "just to see" and walked out with a new coat for less than $20! and it that was two sizes smaller and fit PERFECTLY! I didn't think I would care this much, but I just couldnt stop smiling! I am amazed at how amazing it felt. I have had other tiny NSVs...bracelet is bigger and slides further up my arm, crossing my legs is more comfortable, collarbones are peaking out...but for some reason THIS one was what just DID IT for me.  yay

That is so great. I have been scouring the clearance racks and have to stop just buying things because they fit...

Love it!  There is something about sizes that are lower than I've seen in a few decades that just feels soooo good.  I hope the weather stays cold where you are for a while so you can feel that wonderful feeling every day!
