Carly4HandinSD 313 Posted November 6, 2012 I realized that I needed to get some new clothes that fit a little better.. being that I am at the start of my journey it pains me to buy clothes that a onth or two down the line I wont be wearing.. so I do lot of clearance shopping. I went to Macy's and was finding dresses left and right that were cute! I took a few different sizes in with me to try..and I was so happy when things were too big! Everything I tried of either fit or was too big!! I have never in my life had things that were too big.. things were always too small! Dresses are my go to right now, I figure when they get a little big I can still wear them, just belt them. They won't look as bad as saggy pants! Pants are my issue still and probably will be forever. I carry my weight in the middle so have no butt or legs.. so findng pants that fit in all the right areas is next to impossible! So stoked that I found 5 dresses that fit me and the most I paid for one was 13$.. now that is a deal Just had to share somewhere that people would understand my excitement of clothes being too big 4 UTGal99, Yasmine, N/A and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UTGal99 327 Posted November 6, 2012 Awesome! I agree with you. I was sleeved October 3rd and am just now realizing that clothes are starting to get pretty baggy. Such a great feeling. I discovered a consignment shop in my town and have started shopping there. Great deals and what clothes I have shrunk out of I get store credit for. Super good for me! Also, I am not sure how thrifty you are or want to be, but I find that some of the Goodwill stores and/or Second Hand stores in higher end suburbs have great choices in clothing that are VERY gently used. I agree....I am not paying hundreds of dollars on clothes that I am going to wear for maybe a month or two. Hooray for getting cute dresses for $13 or less! That my friend, is a super bargain. Let me know if you find other great deals out there... Take care! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carly4HandinSD 313 Posted November 6, 2012 I wish there were better thrift shops where I live.. I've checked out a few and the more higher end ones don't have much in the big girl sizes.. what they do have is not what I could/would wear So for now I am doing clearance shopping which for me has turned out to work great! I won't give up on thrift stores yet! LoL. Thanks for the advice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
