Week number 2 Posted by Yvonne on 2/9/2019, 2:20 pm Hi, everyone: I am ending Week #2 on Sole source Cambridge. Folks are recognizing my thinning face, but that will not deter me. I had to buy a new set of slacks (Size 12). Anyway, I think I am in the "groove" and I just become robotic. I can do the 4-minute workout now in 2 minutes. It is fast and it is fun. Hang in there everyone. In 3 weeks, it is Mardi Gras for me.

Aspirational wardrobe Posted by Yvonne on 2/12/2019, 2:41 pm, in reply to "Re: Wow...a 12!" I can "shop" in my closet. I have every size from 12 to 22. Classic and vintage ensembles. So, I'm good. The designers are different in their sizes. A 12 is NOT a 12 is NOT a 12 for every outfit. Believe me. I still have a ways to go. I am not there yet.

Re: Aspirational wardrobe Posted by Pam T on 2/13/2019, 2:15 pm, in reply to "Aspirational wardrobe" Oh don't I know it! I've often mentioned here on the board over the years that a size 6 in a high end store can be equal to a size 12 in a discount store. My theory is that the expensive stores know a women will pay more for a size 6 that "fits" then the same size garment marked 12 in a lower end store. In my previous relationship my boyfriend took me shopping in a high end store to buy pants for our Vegas trip. The pants were just under $100 which I thought was RIDICULOUS! But he was all about labels and status so he thought nothing of it. These were just plain old black pants. The thing that got my attention however was that they were a size 8. I knew I was not an 8 in my world. lol! But I have to admit...I felt pretty awesome wearing my 8's! I don't know why they bother with sizes in women's clothing anyway. There is no consistency like there is in men's.
