I found a box of shorts from before the girls were born. Early to mid 90s. High waisted, pleats, about 4 inches above the knee, cuffs, large diameter legs. I tried every single one of them on and they all fit. And then I put them in the donate box, because they are hopelessly out of style.
I did keep 2 pairs of blue jeans. They are a bit high waisted and narrow, narrow legs, but they are cozy and they make my butt look great.
I had cleaned out boxes of clothes several years ago and had given away all the 14s in despair that they would ever fit. I guess finding this box was a nice little gift to myself... I didn't want to keep them, but if I wanted to, I could have... and WORN them.. :-)
I took this picture a month or so ago to celebrate my purchase of size 12 pants. I can't remember if it was ever posted here on my blog, but it goes great with this subject.
