Bundled and Muddled

m.p. inherited a wool, 3/4 length, london fog coat from the ex last year.
it's a size large, and i remember thinking how tiny she was getting when we bought it. it's double breasted, so there is a lot of extra fabric in the front if you leave it open. last year, she gave it to m.p. and told her to wear it open (it still wouldn't close in front).
m.p. tried it on today.
the damn things fits, buttons, and looks good.
a large coat fits.
i seriously remember how proud we were of the ex when she bought it. we just thought she looked amazing.
m.p. can't see herself as being that same size. but the same coat fits. we stood there in front of a mirror, and stared at this buttoned up coat...
and m.p. couldn't recognize herself anymore.
