“Wear clothes that fit you.”

That’s a good one, Rebecca.

And nice tummy by the way. You should be one of the models for the TNB T-shirt to try and sell more of them.

Heck, you should even be in the calendar when Brad creates it…you know, the Girls of TNB.

Booyah.

Haha, the girls of TNB. Nice one Rich. I think we have quite a few ladies on here who would be more popular than me though.

I think the calendar should be of us looking smart and holding our own books (in my case, newspapers). Fab.

And thanks Lenore!

Dammit Lenore took my comment and Rich took the idea of a whole post I was was going to do on the Girls of TNB.

Fun post though.

Hi Becca. This was hilarious. And brilliant. And true!

As someone who has outgrown some clothes recently, I was in dire need of this advice. I’m going to head right down to Plato’s Closet and do what you say!

So true! As someone whose weight fluctuates a pant size between winter and summer, I have learned to keep two sets of pants. I make sure that I have pants I really love in each set. This way, even when the winter bulge hits, I go, “oh yay! they fit again.” And I wear them for three days straight to prove my love.

Refreshingly honest! I am such a victim to Gap/Banana/Old Navy’s vanity sizing. It doesn’t matter what it looks or feels like, if it isn’t the size I want it to be I don’t buy it. So I really needed this reminder.

MLP: We’re all a victim of the vanity sizing. I’m happy to report that Epress now has vanity sizing. Until recently I could barely fit into their size 10s, but my most recent purchase was a size 8 (and trust me, I didn’t lose any weight).

Jen: That’s such a smart idea! I keep my old jeans with only the hope that I’ll one day fit back in them. After more than a year at this size, I’m pretty sure I’m not going to be able to shimmy into them anytime soon.

Dawn: Happy Shopping! I’m glad I could provide the extra push you needed (or extra excuse for the hubby) for buying new clothes!

Haha, the “Wow!” was my particularly favorite part of this blog too Dawn.
Steph: Stop buying such expensive jeans! Seriously, I don’t know how you do it. But I guess if they look good we’d all be willing to spend a little extra cash. The cheap jeans just don’t last and they always sag in all the wrong places.

You should do a range of these: Rebecca Adler talks sense. Radical.
