Most of us have them....
That pair of jeans that fit 3 sizes back
A bikini from your honeymoon that laughs at you from the bottom drawer underneath your now super expensive 'more coverage is good' swimsuit.
Maybe a little black dress from 10 or 20 years ago. You may look at it and think it resembles a handkerchief instead of a dress.
Mine was a pair of jeans that were pre-ALL BABIES.
Today, while working my way through the garage boxes, making piles and sorting, I came upon "my jeans".
I laid them on the bed and just stared at them. My internal conversations were roaring in my head...
'Do I WANT to know?' 'Will I always be curious? Maybe I should just pitch them and continue on with my good day....but what if....'
My curiosity won out. I tried them on.
I think I bought them about 7 years ago. The butt is almost worn out, in fact they're in the wash right now. Why? Because I'll be wearing them this week.
Oh happy day.
(DISCLAIMER: Am I saying that I LOOK like I haven't had 3 kids? By no means, only that I can get my hips and thighs into something that reminds me of my first few years of marriage with the guy who's already walked a chunk of life out with me faithfully...That's worth remembering and smiling about)

Oh my goodness! I am so excited you can get into those jeans :) That is just amazing and such wonderful news for me because I feel like those days will never come. So thank you for the inspiration that it can happen and does in fact happen! Skinny Jeans are the best! Go rock your jeans girl :)
