I am in heaven. Stopped in to see a friend at a dress store the other day and she told me that she had gotten some new trousers in recently and asked if I was in need of any. Must have been reading my mind. E----y knows I CD and also knows of my "unknowing S.O." so the idea of buying a dress or skirt is kinda out of the question, not that I haven't bought a skirt from her before, it's just that I don't have many chances to wear it.
Anyhow, we looked at a few trousers and she found these:

Tried them on, fit wonderful. The best part? I can wear a size 12P from this maker. I've tried size 12 from others and can button them but moving around isn't easy, unless I don't want to breathe or bend over. These are just perfect for me. They'll make a nice pair of casual dress pants. As soon as the weather gets a bit cooler, I'll be able to wear them. Cords during the summer just don't work. The color I chose is the Mahogany. She had some blush on the shelf in my size but I figured I'd be "pushing the issue" if I bought them.
Loosing weight can have more rewards than just better health.
So many nice clothes and so little time and money.
To be able to just stop into a store and chat with the owner and make a purchase, is a wonderful experience.
Like I've said a number of times, once you establish a rapport with the owner and they realize you're serious, there are no longer any "embarrassing moments" that take away from the enjoyment.
I've reached a point where I can feel comfortable with my buying of clothes. Thanks again to all here who have given me that confidence. I so love it.
