ok… ok… maybe not that news worthy to some… but for me who never buys clothes… well it is something worth mentioning… honestly…
I have never spent so much in one day on clothes in my life!!! actually I have never even spent 1/3 of what I spent yesterday…
I really needed it though…
All of my clothes were too big…
I was at the mall a few days ago and I had Khéna on my back and Xavier was telling me that my shorts were falling down and when I checked they were half way down my bum… I was waiting to lose a little more weight before I bought a few things but It just hit me that there is no more delaying it…
So… I started trying out clothes and at first was looking at the sizes that I am used to…
A few months ago… I was wearing a size 22-24 so I started looking at those but then realized that I was there because it didn’t fit anymore… so I asked an employee what size she thought I was and she said 18… so I tried one on and yep!!! 18! I can’t believe that 30 pounds took that much off!!
So I bought…
-2 new bras ( and I mean real bras… not nursing… REAL…. I haven’t bought a real bra in about 7 years!… my boobs went from droopy and navel gazing to HELLO THERE!!!)
-clear straps for the bras to wear with my spaghetti strap tops…
-2 tank tops
-2 t-shirts
-denim bermudas
-Khaki bermudas
-a pair of jeans
-black shorts
-lounging pants
and a bathing suit…
you can just imagine what I spent… 
But… I wanted to cover all of the basics… so that I can use what I have in my closet that still fits and also everything I bought is mix and match…
It felt so weird spending all that money on clothing for me…
and I have to admit that I kind of even liked trying on new clothes that fit well and make look and feel pretty good if I may say so myself…
eta… a few pics…

I too have a hard time buying clothes. I think I get it from my mama- she is the same way. I am so happy for you! I am thrilled that you are taking good care of yourself. As they say, a little shopping is always good for the soul.

Awesome! Good for you! I recently bought some new bras and am soooo glad I did.
Oh, and this post needs photos! (Not of the bras, of course, lol)
