OH SH**
I dont know whether to be psyched or really really pissed off
We are military and moving to CA from VA in a little less than 2 weeks. Just went into my closet to start the cleanout process...more like inventory process
Now..lets set the scene..3 weeks ago..my mom took me christmas shopping to get an outfit or 3 for her birthday dinner. Lane Bryant...tanks in 14/16...sweater in 14/16....and jeans in 18.
What did I find in my closet....the clothes Ive been waiting for YEARS to fit into..Jeans I wore in college..tops I worse then and in high school.My senior prom dress and my college formal event dresses. Jeans...in 22's and 24's.....CRAP....skirts in 20's....all tops in XL....
Basically...OH SH** MOMENT.
See..part of me thinks OMG...YAY...but then the broke navy wife side says OH **** I HAVE NO CLOTHES.
Any of ya'll feel my pain?

I can't wait to have that problem!! lol I plan on taking my clothes to a local drycleaner that has a seamstress and have them taken in for awhile before I put the bucks out for a new wardrobe. I want to get closer to goal before I do that. You might try putting up a notice at your new base and ask if anyone does clothes alterations. It may save you some money.
I am in the same boat. I have no clothes. I literally have 2 or 3 outfits, and one of those outfits is a nice one. I'm living in eveyrones recycles clothes in ym house and alot of things that don't fit. I just lost my job so it gives me extra incentive to NOT shotp, but I had already decided i wasnt gonna buy any new clothes until i absolutly, positivly had to. Right now i wear a belt in my size 20 pants and then roll them down twice, they are huge because im in the 12-14 range... i donated tons of clothes and ALLL of my summer clothes because there is zero chance of even one thing fitting me by next summer! I wish i could have found a clothing exchange close by!
