A new discovery, or oversight, maybe. Whichever way you want to view it. Today, I'm supposed to start wearing formal to work. The last 2 weeks, which was incidentally the first 2 weeks on my new job, I got away wearing casual smart as the office was under renovation. Not anymore. The major hacking, ripping, clearing, painting, cutting, wiring, carpeting, tidying and all has been done. It's now left with the arranging, tidying, labeling and getting used to it.
So, wanting to look nice and all, I decided to wear a formal pants, which I had purposely ironed last night. The last time I had worn it was when I was last working. That was about half a year ago. I really didn't think much and had it on. Which was when I noticed it. It was loosed. A little to lose that's I think having it on, made the pants looked huge. A totally unexpected discovery. Since I'm still lacking with a full length mirror, I didn't want to take the chances, and decided another pants would be better. So I changed. The smaller pants were a little big, but definitely fitted better than the former.
I have been told, of late, that I've grown thinner. Yes, weighing myself, I do see a drop in the weighing scale, but very slight. A pound or two. Seeing myself, though, I didn't notice any significant change in my body size. I am still the same, and look the same. It was, of course then, quite a surprise to find out that my pants were a little hanging on my waist now. It was one of those safe pairs, where you can wear and nothing much go wrong, in term of fitting and colour. It was a pair of long, black pants, after all.
I will have to try on my others pants later today, after being home from work. It's better to know how they are well in advance. At least I can make necessary arrangements, and adjustments. The thought of needing to get an entirely new wardrobe scares me. It's a very expensive investment, one which I cannot afford to do now. Seriously unable to. Furthermore, I'm still uncertain if this is just a lucky break, my being thinner now. How long can it last, will it last that it would needs a new wardrobe? That I cannot be sure of. I shall wait.
While most girls rejoice in the thought of being able to find reasons to shop, I am dreading the moment. One, as mentioned, financially, that would be a very difficult endeavour. Secondly, and most importantly, I'm not very good in shopping. I get what I need, and most need. If I already have, then it's even more difficult to get something else, for the sake of variety. I should be flexible in this. But worry not, I'm adjusting, albeit, slowly. I don't want to get burn.
