I had never been to a Fashion Swap before because I always figured there was no point since I was wearing a size 24 pant and 5X shirts. I didn't want to go with my friends in the past because I feared not being able to find anything that would fit me. Well, today I went to my first Fashion Swap and took in all those 5X and 4X clothes!
It felt so fantastic to get rid of all those clothes! In particular there were some shirts I was thrilled to say goodbye to. The loud printed wal-mart shirts. I have nothing against the actual designs of the shirts and who knows I may of even picked one out if I were able to choose from all the clothes in the stores. However, when the only tops you can find in 5X are either mens t-shirts or one specific design of a shirt in the women's department, you grow to hate that design.
I said goodbye to these shirts and this fashion for the rest of my life. I no longer have to wear it and so I won't be! I am sure someone appreciated being able to find some 5X clothes at the fashion swap though :)
It was a fantastic day with friends and an auditorium full of local women. And best of all I got to come home with some pants in my current size 20, a couple in my next size 18 and lots of tops in 3X and 2X! When I got home I tried all the tops on and they all fit too!
