Hi there. I'm Yvonne, and I'm a wife, Mom of 2 and business chick. Welcome!
2008....and this is a great way to start off the "08" year!Today I bought a pair of jeans. I had to take a picture of the tag, because this is monumental!
This is the first time I've been a size 8 since...well...I can't remember when! Probably grade 11? In Winnipeg during Christmas I bought my first pair of size 12 jeans, and that was exciting enough. For a girl who spent most of her adult life in sizes 20 -24...this is quite a milestone!
Now, to be honest, I think the store I bought these in has WHACKY sizing. I knew that, so grabbed for the 10 instead of the 12 when I started. I ended up with the 8 after a couple tries.
Some stores are making their sizes larger to boost women's confidence while shopping there, and cause them to spend more.
Freakin geniuses.

They need a shop like that for men. I'd particularily like a shirt that grows instead of shrinking. Honest, the shirts must be shrinking! ;-)
LOL -- you make me laugh -- I remember when I got to a size 10 for the very first time in a long time...I called my husband on my cellphone from the dressing room, jumping up and down! And, then when I got to a size 8......woooohoooooooo PARTY TIME!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is SSSSSSOOOOOO exciting! I am a very proud sister-in-law.
Hey Yvonne I am really proud of you. But.... What is the name of this store (LOL)
Brigitte...

One of Freedom...
OF COURSE they are shrinking! It happens around Christmas...must be the dryness around here... *eyes darting side to side*
Wow - that is awesome! Way to go! (I know what you mean about the Joe sizing though...)
haha I knew it must be Joe, but honestly...I'm not surprised because you ARE shrinking!!!
Very exciting Yvonne.
Keep it up and I can borrow some of your clothes once more. Remember?
Mom
