Wear it while it fits! A non-problem problem.
My sis had surgery the same day as me, and I've been cheerfully taking on her stuff as she shrinks out of it. She's at goal now, so that handy source of clothes will be drying up too. (Except for the super nice winter coat she bought last fall - it's MINE for next fall. Lol)

GOOD IDEA!!! I have clothes that were too tight and then the next time I tried they were too big...I skipped right over that size....
On the other hand, I scored some really cute summer outfits in size 6/8 though I am only a size 12 now...I hope I get to wear them this summer or at least this fall when I have a Caribbean vacation planned...moreover I hope I dont skip past that size.... but for less than $5 an outfit ( clearance rack) it was worth the risk
I'm not so foolish as to assume it'll stay off easily, but I'm VERY determined to do whatever it takes.
$5 an outfit? That's amazing! I hope you get to enjoy them during your vacation.

I've been shrinking into and through my sister's stuff, buying fleece jackets (I'm always cold) from Value Village and buying 3-4 tops in each size as I shrink. The jackets were a fluke - on sale, super cute and in 2 of my favourite colours. Ah well, MANY people would love to have my problem, and I'll pass the jackets along to a local charity.

This is too funny and familiar. I had a $700 custom wet suit in the closet... I tried it on weekly until it fit. I immediately scheduled a refresher and additional certification SCUBA course. A month later... too big. Its all about timing!!!

Beyond Goal
Yeah, I pretty much only buy what fits right now and just a few pieces at a time. I have my slightly too big stuff that I wear around the house when I don't have to go out. I just refuse to sink a bunch of money into clothes until I know where I'll end up. I had REALLY nice clothes and shoes before. I miss them :(
