The Only Good War is a Wardrobe
My wife and I went on a date tonight to go clothes shopping. She's lost so much weight after her surgery two months ago that practically none of her clothes fit anymore.
She was really nervous at first because the vast majority of her clothing shopping experiences have been painful and traumatic in the past. (Because, y'know, the fashion industry apparently hates gorgeous fat women and does everything in their power to make buying clothes as unfair and uncomfortable as possible.)
I promised her it would be different this time. I promised her I would plan ahead and I'd be there to cheer her on every step of the way. I got us a babysitter. Plus, I'd be paying for it all with gift cards I had earned doing extra projects for work, so she wouldn't even have to worry about the cost affecting our budget.
She was still (understandably) skeptical, and in all honesty I was a little nervous too.
But despite all that worry, IT WAS GREAT!!!
Look how STUNNING she is!!
We went shopping with a gift card budget of $100, but amazingly, we were able to get all those outfits for just $70!
We've been back home for hours now, and I am STILL grinning from ear to ear like an idiot. It may have been one of our best dates ever.
And I even managed to find a new coat for myself too!
