Skinny Stash

Is there anything better than breaking into your stash of skinny clothes and realizing that most of them actually fit again?  NOT TODAY THERE ISN'T!  Woo Hoo! 

I have one bin, one secret, sad, little bin of pre-kids clothes that I've been ignoring for the past four years.  Poor little bin, so alone in the closet, a veritable outcast in a room full of prom queens and student council presidents.  But today, all that changed... little bin finally had the courage to open up and show me what it's made of.  Turns out it's made of lots-o Banana Republic and J. Crew from about five to seven years ago (back when I didn't have kids and could actually enjoy spending money in Banana and J. Crew without being riddled with guilt).

Although most of the shirts were alarmingly short - which just goes to show you how styles really have changed since 2005 - most of the pants were still OK.  In fact, because they were all a little higher-waisted than most of the stylish pants that are made today, they actually work well twice.

Although these are by no means the pants of my "glory days" (college), when I was tiny and tight and could fit perfectly in a size six, I am beyond thrilled that these pants, beyond a doubt, confirm that I have lost allllllll the baby weight.  Finally!
