Cheap Clothing Advice

I think that I may still have a few 18/20, 3x stuff hanging around.  Maybe it's a little smaller, though.  I'll try to take a look this weekend.

First.. WAY TO GO!!! and secondly, I am going through what you are now... especially the proportion thing... each part of my body seems to be losing at different rates.. and I keep having to adjust my workouts to work different areas.  Plus, now that im in smaller sizes sometimes they fit in one place.. and don't in others.. .(i.e. stomach flap) (or arm bat wings!)...at least one day a week I wear some of what used to be my small clothes which are now swimmin on me... just to see people's reactions... :)...  I have had really good luck at the Macy's clearance racks, Ross, our OH Luncheon Clothing Exchange, and even my Aunts and Cousins... I too have to wear office attire for work.. and so far just a few mix and match pieces and lots of safety pins is what gets me through.  But I totally agree with what someone else said about just buying one or two or enough to get you through the week!  I am amazed and I bet you are too at how quickly we go through sizes. Keep up the Good Work.. and Congratulations... its a wonderful Journey we are on!

Love & Hugs!

I fully agree with you about the Woman Within clothing.  What I saw on the models in the catalogue and what I received are two completely different worlds!  I orderd about $200 worth of daily wear clothing, shirts and tops mostly and they are ALL going back.  I am shocked at their quality as they are associated with Lane Bryant whose clothing I love.
I like Fashon bug for casual wear and Catherine's (sale items rock!) for dressier and professional wear..
happy hunting!

I sent you a PM, Ms.Blues!

Hi all,

Thanks for the great ideas and advice. It is so tempting to go nuts and buy new clothes, but luckily I learned pretty quickly that is not a wise thing to do right now. For the most part I've been replacing one piece as I retire one.

I completely forgot about Catherine's and Fashion Bug. We don't have these stores where I live, but I think both places have online things.

Great conversation about clothing!!

Congratulations!  Goodwill in Santa Cruz has some really great stuff, as well as the thrift shop that is on Front Street.  I have another friend that got a Vera Wang dress there yesterday!

Have fun!
