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!
