#ThePetiteYears<\/h2>\n

I kept them in the closet for years assuming I would get back into them. I was an 8-10 thru most of my 40s and 50s always felt comfortable in a \u201cM\u201d.<\/p>\n

Isn’t it funny how long we hang onto stuff we don’t need?![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”669227″]<\/p>\n

#TheMYears<\/h2>\n

My sister and nieces are accustomed to \u201cshopping in Aunty’s closet\u201d as I developed a habit of getting rid of anything that wasn’t touched\/worn for a season.<\/p>\n

So a few weeks ago, I brought a bag of belts and handbags to my neice’s house. I just gave away belts that my waist has not liked for awhile, as well as a bunch of leather bags that hadn’t been used for a while.<\/p>\n

One of my 35+ yr old nieces had the nerve to exclaim, with a scrunched face (when ***she***<\/strong><\/em> couldn’t close the buckle)<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen did you wear this?!\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"\"I am not at all ashamed to admit that I recently exchanged a size 12 linen slacks from Banana Republic, that didn’t fit right around my waist.<\/div>\n

In no way am I upset about it.<\/p>\n

#MyAssIsASize14<\/h2>\n

At 66, I am pleased to still be standing, happy, healthy and curvy.<\/p>\n

There’s simply more of me to love, in my #CurvyYears.<\/p>\n
