Doing the new/old clothes dance

After wearing shorts to work for the last few days to better facilitate riding my bike, I thought I'd see how some of my smaller wardrobe residents were faring and tried on some of my old pants.  My current Jeans supply has been getting a little trodden upon, and I have been wondering if I would need to buy new pants.

Here's the good news: I don't need to!  I can fit into all my size 42 waisted pants now! 

The interesting part is that I haven't worn them for a long time.  Allison and I talked about it for a bit, and it has been at least since Elias was born if not longer, since I was wearing these new/old clothes.  This is a nice little confidence booster, as I hadn't really given too much thought about smaller clothes so much as just making it easier to get around, and maybe go running and play basketball again.

  4. Thanks, Babs. I kept the stuff knowing that I would be able to enjoy wearing it again one day. I don't know why I didn't think of it when we started the new plan.
