To Buy Or Not To Buy New Clothes?

[show1980 38]

Well I've lost 65 pounds now and so far I've gotten hand me downs. Is it safe to buy new yet?

I would....lol

I do but not many. I do go to thrift stores and have found unused clothes with tags on them still. It can be less money in the long run until you reach goal. I enjoy thrift shopping. I got three new pair of jeans for 2 bucks each and had never been worn. Still had the price tags on them.

I bought very basic pieces and wore them until they fell off. I wore the same 3 skirts and maybe 6-8 tops for work until they were too big... I hated the idea of spending money on things which would be too big in 2-3 months.

Consignment stores are great ...you can buy more things then turn them in when they get too big!

I started buying a few pieces when I lost about 50lbs but those are too big now too. I am a cheapy and hate to spend money on clothes that are going to be too big soon. I suggest the thrift stores and to check out any good sales. I have been frequenting Fashion Bug because they are going out of business soon. I'm going tonight , hoping to fit in a size 8
