I have these Capri slacks I bought from Amazon. I would probably have to lose 20 pounds to wear them..something I aspire to do. I could send them back..but maybe they could be an inspiration. I have other clothes that don't...

Valerie J. Routhieaux I've heard people here say they tried something on that was in the back of the closet and it fit. It gave them that sense of accomplishment and having something new to wear.

Amber @AmbiePam (127582) • United States 18 Sep

Valerie J. Routhieaux It sounds like a good idea. I'm sure you would get a lot of interest. You can list the items on the box. It might even get more interest. It wouldn't look like a random box.
