Finally Friday!

Hi Friends! Hope everyone's Friday finds them well. It's payday Friday for me...so that always puts me in a good mood! I am wearing some jeans sent from the lovely Sarah today. They are LB size 4 Blue, and usually I wear red, but I thought I would give them a try! Super comfy. Slighty big in the crotchy poo, but hey! They are great for casual Friday baby!





As I begin to be able to shop in the normal size section of some stores (in the XL's or XXL's...) I can see my shopping addiction is going to be hard to manage. I love shopping anyways, oh it is my passion. My perfect dream job would be a personal shopper. So now that I can go into some stores and actually contemplate trying something on, gets me all excited!
Had a nice chat with Angie last night and I think I will buy one pair of Victoria Secret XL undies and see how they fit. I dont understand underwear sizes since I have bought Lane Bryant undies for so long, and they are the same as jean sizes. 18/20 in pants, 18/20 in underwear. Why do underwear sizes elsewear have to be 8, 9, 10, etc. So, could someone give me a reference what size you think I should be in? Great and thank you's!!!

  1. Hey Amy- as always, looking smok'in hot! When I was a size 18, back in the day, I wore an XL underwear from Victoria's Secret. So, you should probably try those out to see what you think. Some styles are roomier than others- I always wore the comfy cotton ones.

  2. Amy - they are beautiful!!! I'm so glad that you can use them, for a few more pounds anyway! I wear size 9 underwear now... I'm at an XL on top, but still 18-20 on the bottom if that gives you any reference...

  5. Thanks pretty ladies!

    Sarah, that does help. It is just so foreign to me this idea of being able to fit into some "mainstream" sizes again.

  8. Amy look how tiny your waist is in this great picture!!!! You look Fab!!! I too, don't know what size undies to buy. I desperatly need to buy some. My undies are saggy baggy on my and look terrible. I used to be a 9, so I guess maybe 8 or 7 now??? I'm about a size 11 or 14 by now. Haven't tried pants or shorts on in while.

  9. Can't help you with this one babes.. cos I live far far away (with the pixies and fairies ;)
    Just wanted to say, rocking pics though - I love the poses you do and I'm trying the one in the middle - what's the bet I don't carry it off like you though lol.
    Thanks also for your lovely comment on my blog. I like that - another reason to call me The Dash. Very clever xx

  10. You look gorgeous!

    I am an 8/10 now and my 7 undies are getting too big so I really need to move down. My excess skin causes issues with fit/style though.

  11. You look great Amy!!! But, you always do! Ummm...well, the underwear size. I currently wear a 1T blue in the LB jeans and I wear an 8. I wasn't sure either, at first, so I bought a 9, but they were too big. I like them. They are cheap and are the Hanes wedgie free, and they REALLY ARE wedgie free! I can't believe there really is truth in advertising sometimes. Also, it is the first time in over 15 years that I haven't bought "big girl" undies. It feels kinda strange.
