peacequeen 434 Posted August 2, 2012 It's that time again, I've gone down another size and I have none of this size in my closet so I need practically everything. I have a few options here in my home town but was wondering if anyone else had any tips or suggestions on buying clothes...on a tight budget. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mesaucedo 207 Posted August 2, 2012 I ebay a ton for clothes and also goodwill. I hit up thrifts too. For work I had to give in and buy special pants but I found them at Walmart for 13 bucks. 2 NenaLinda and peacequeen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
traceyinflorida 499 Posted August 2, 2012 I am entering into same phase. I just hinted to my husband that all of my smallest sizes are now too big. He told me I should just tighten my belt...I wanted to slap him. Anyway, I will be hitting Goodwill, consignment shops, and sale racks at Target and Walmart. I am also considering taking some of my nicer things to the taylor at the local drycleaner. I was told that you can have jeans, pants, dresses etc taken in for very reasonable prices. Also, TJMax ad Marshalls are good bets, especially the clearance racks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chitowngirl 886 Posted August 2, 2012 Yes, I always hit TJ Maxx and Marshall's, I can easily find shirts for $5 on their clearence racks. I also have been going to the cheaper stores such as dots, rainbow, ect. There u can find pretty cheap and trendy clothing, the clothes don't last long, but I really can't get much wear out of them anyway. I have 2 pair of work pants dark neutral and I wear them all week, and just switch up my shirts. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarahr0 66 Posted August 2, 2012 I am at the same point.. No more shopping in plus size stores!!!! yayy!! I just got into my first pair of size 16 jeans from New York & Co and Old Navy(but only bought the NY&Co ones)... soooooo excited! I am only buying one pair of jeans/pants for work at a time.. and I am going to try and skip a size.. so instead of buying 14's next.. I may try and go for the 12s!! ahhhhhhhhhh could 12s really be next??? yaHOOOO!!!!!! 1 Spirit Fire reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms. Scarlett 6 Posted August 2, 2012 I have actually found that buying a couple of dresses and skirts are working better and longer than the pants for work. I particularly like the faux wrap dresses. I can still use alot of my tops with a plain a-line black skirt. I have shopped alot on line- there are great bargains there at places you wouldn't think of- like Wal Mart and Target. And Penneys has done a complete makeover and their prices are quite reasonable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
