Realised something today
I've been complaining all summer that my linen trousers are too loose and my cropped jeans are too loose, and that skirts are made too big in the waist and I can't find one that fits. I was trying on and buying UK size 10, and had it in my head that if something was baggy in a size 10, it must be made to be that way because there is no way I wear smaller than a size 10.
Well, today I tried on a skirt in a size 8. It fit. I then tried on the same style skirt in a size 10. It was too big.
I actually wear a size 8 in skirts and some trousers. For over a year, at my current weight, I was a size 10 or 12. Now I am a size 8 or 10. I weigh 135 lbs still, but wear a size smaller than I did last year.
People, a UK 8 is a US 4!!
This is SO freaking me out. Most of my adult life I wore a US size 18. When I lost weight, I would get down to a 16, feel complacent and gain back up to an 18. For a brief time I wore a 20. It's SOO hard to believe I am wearing a US 4.
Anyway, I just bought two skirts, size 8.
Freaky.
