I will be wearing this over a black t shirt and a black pant. I had chosen a pretty large size and yet I found the sleeves to be tight The maid loosened them for me. What I notice about having to choose the size they never pay attention to all aspects of the dress and that is how I found the sleeves not fitting me.
Whenever I plan a party I buy something new for me but I hardly wear that again as I hardly socialise.
Have you started your Christmas shopping?

This was the largest 1XL but they did not have anything higher than that.

@RasmaSandra We are busy putting the gifts in bags to take there but I see the bags are pretty heavy. Wondering what to do.

Since the last month I have been shopping for gifts and stuff for the party I am throwing for the poor kids. Lots of planning.

Pretty has that type of problem, too. When clothes fit her body, they're too tight in the arms... (She still works out.) Since we don't socialize, she's been stealing my shirts to wear around the house.
We just got home from grocery shopping. The store still had Halloween clothing on sale 75% off what they were trying to sell it for before Halloween. She found several pairs of stretch pants that would fit her for $2 each and a couple of shirts for $1 each in her size.
We don't bother doing anything for Christmas except I still cook a large Christmas dinner. After we eat, I start packing the leftovers into the freezer in individual size servings to eat over the next few months.

Your Malls seem to be in a generous mood - never heard of stretch pants going for $1. Good Pretty grabbed them.
I will start making Christmas sweets around December 15 and I will put up the lights around Dec 20. No other decorations.

@DaddyEvil I thought Walmart was a Mall. I hardly know the difference.
Not eating fish and meat since long. Thank you for your kind offer. The way you talked about eating that poor turkey you sounded like a carnivore (Ilol)

@allknowing We haven't shopped in a Mall here in 15 years. There aren't any in my part of the US. We shop at Walmart and they always reduce the prices to get rid of holiday stock that is unsold rather than store it for the next year.
I bought a smoked turkey today and it is currently thawing. When it's thawed, I'll cook him and we'll eat him. YUM! 
Would you like me to share some smoked turkey when he's finished cooking?

@CarolDM I too have clothes that I do not wear any more but here not many will go for those clothes as the poor will not wear them and the middle class never go for old clothes.

I was able to widen the sleeves and so the shrug fits me well now.

Pretty cool, I do not go to parties anymore and never did that in first place but know ladies big on that. Take me or leave me jerks. They left me, ha, hence why I do not go to parties anymore. 
Parties rarely go right, not sure why people like them so much. Just have a few friends over and you will have much more fun.
That is a very cool shrug though. Looks good

I do not do much shopping for myself either but each year when I throw that party for kids I go for a new outfit.

That would mean a lot of shopping. Will you not buy something for yourself?

I too do not socialise but this party is thrown by me for the kids and so I felt I should wear something new.
