THE CASE OF THE TAUNTING CAPRIS

THE CASE OF THE TAUNTING CAPRIS






I bought a pair of capris probably 4 months ago.  Couldnt even get them up over my hips and abdomen.    Every few weeks I would try again.  And again they didn't fit.  Until today....

When I got home I was hanging up my outfit and there they were hanging in the closet.  I thought about putting them in the back of the closet since it seemed like they were taunting me as usual.  "You can't wear us."  "Your butt is too big to wear us." “Your belly will never fit in me!” "You'll never be able to wear us".  Yeah I think this pair of capris were hoping they would always be the "new" pair in the closet and they liked it that way.  How many too small clothes have I bought in my life that I never got small enough to wear?

Well, first I said, SHUT UP!  Then I took the hanger down and placed it on the bed.  Slowly I took the capris off the hangar.  Now, I can tell by the time I get to my knees if a pair a pants is gonna even come close to fitting.  Well, they easily slid up over my knees and thighs.  WHAT???

I pulled them up over my hips....close but no cigar yet!  My abdomen is way out of proportion to the rest of my body.  It (and my upper arms) cause me to wear a bigger size than the rest of my body would require.  Without my abdomen I probably be in a 12 or 14.  If my upper arms were normal in relation to my body, I’d probably wear a medium.  But neither is, so…there you have it!  lol

Ok, so the capris are up over my hips.  I pull the waistband together and it buttons!  WHOA!  I reached down and pull the zipper.  And it zips right up!  This pair of capris finally fits!  I can hardly believe it!

Yep, I'll be wearing this elusive pair of capris this weekend.  They will no longer be the new pair hanging in the closet.  I have achieved that goal!  Yep, I own this pair of capris!
