What an accomplishment to lose weight like that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-karma#post-52041 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 11:05:30 +0000 Kristen 52041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, yes it did feel a lot like Christmas, Inge. :)</p> <p>Angie, alas, there were only a few skirts. But my friend is much shorter than I am and not the same body type, so I'm not sure how many of the pants/skirts/jeans will work for me. I will probably end up buying most of that myself, which is fine.</p> <p>However, what she did give me in abundance were sweaters and casual tops, and most of which were from the store we worked at together, Forth &#38; Towne. So a lot of familiar favorites were in the pile, sweaters I'd long loved but didn't have anymore, and certainly never had in a smaller size. It was like being given a second chance shopping there again! Very fun.</p> <p>I will be posting pics as soon as I start wearing them, no worries! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-karma#post-52035 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 10:43:55 +0000 Inge 52035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Five bags, wow! That must feel like waking up on Christmas morning and seeing a mountain of presents under the tree;-)</p> <p>Please do post pics of you wearing your new treasures? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-karma#post-52024 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 05:35:53 +0000 Angie 52024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic, Kristen! Lets see you in some of this new stuff. I hope there are skirts involved :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-karma#post-52021 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 05:23:01 +0000 Kari 52021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's awesome that each of you can make up for the most inconvenient part of weight loss (being unable to wear your favorite clothes anymore) by gaining new clothes from a friend! I can't wait to see what outfits you end up forming from your new wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-karma#post-52012 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 04:21:25 +0000 Anonymous 52012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations, that is fantastic. What a happy story. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-karma#post-52009 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 04:09:46 +0000 Tanya 52009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, congrats on all the new clothes Christine. Hopefully you will like some of them. Karma is a funny thing, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothing-karma#post-52005 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 03:36:03 +0000 Kristen 52005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently passed on two huge boxes of my size-18 clothes to a local girlfriend, who was thrilled to have an instant wardrobe. She had just gotten a promotion and needed a more professional update. I gave her one, free of charge!</p> <p>Last night, another of my girlfriends invited me to her house, where I was the recipient of her closet sweep efforts. She had lost weight too, and now had a ton of size 14s, many of which she had never worn. You guys, I came home with FIVE garbage bags full of quality clothes. Five!</p> <p>I feel almost drunk on clothes. *g* Tonight I did a deeper clean of my own closet, filling up another two boxes to pass to my first friend. In trying on all my new clothes, it's really brought home for me how much smaller I am getting; I thought I still fit in my XLs but wearing the new Ls made me acknowledge the larger size is not right for me anymore. So I have even more earmarked for cleanout in another couple of weeks.</p> <p>I also suspect I may end up passing on some of the things I got last night (she's more of a pastel fan than I am), but until I am done losing weight I'm not making any final decisions on things that fit now or will fit soon. </p> <p>Still. Five bags! Hopefully this means I won't need to buy anything new for a bit. </p> <p>Ha. Right. </p>
