Clothing and Style

[cheryl2586 3,053]

I have found a lot of good deals at thrift stores and consignment shops. I buy a few new things that may be a little snug with room to lose more and not be baggy. I wouldnt go completely nuts but buy a little as you go. You could also look into having some things taken in. I have a beautiful dress that I am having shortened and taken in. Its a size 20 but I am not a 14. Most places charge about 5 to 7 dollars to take in clothes which is cheaper then buying new clothes.

Thank you. I will look into that as well! Getting them taken in don't distort them too much?

Well you can only go in a couple of inches before it wouldnt look right but its better then buying new clothes for now. Or if you know someone with a sewing machine that would do it for less.

Vj, just wanted to let you know you got me motivated by this post and I went through my closet and got rid of a lot of clothes today, actually I had a really fun time trying on pants and finding they are too big .

And I see you are from Louisville, I'm only about an hour away from you in Northern Kentucky, not too far from Cincinnati.
