Talking Hello size 16!

Well hello, size 16 jeans! When I saw you on the clearance rack for $6.99, I figured that you were such a good price that I would take you home with me and let you hang out in my dresser until I could fit in to you. When I got you home, I decided to try you on, just to see how far I had to go until we could be together. Lo and behold, you fit! You are a little snug in some areas, but I guess that is how jeans of your style (misses bootcut) are supposed to fit. This morning I was so elated at the prospect of my new friend I had found, that I pulled you on and wore you to work. You have earned me a lot of compliments today, dear size 16 jeans And if I do say so myself, you do make me look darn good!

So hello, size 16 jeans! It has been many years since I have had this close of a relationship with any of your siblings or cousins. I do thoroughly enjoy our relationship, but I hope you won't be too offended when I say that I hope we move on from each other soon - I think it's only fair to share myself with a size 14 jean soon

Congratulations on fitting into a size 16! We have very similar stats; I just started wearing my old 16s and tossed all my 18s a few weeks ago. Feels great to be getting rid of clothes because they're too BIG, doesn't it?

Cute little story... Congratulations... Must feel nice to think you wouldn't fit into them and sort of have them as a goal... just to find out you fit into them

I loved your post! I know exactly how you feel, as I recently got back into my 16's also. AND they are starting to feel a little....loose.
