Help Finding Cute Clothes...



Recommended Posts

I tried doing a search for "clothes" but couldn't find anything...so...I'm finding I'm going down in size, but still woman's size...22/24 and I need some advice on websites where I can find stylish, yet affordable clothing. I don't like to bargain shop, so I don't want to go to an expensive website and then have to sift through the clearance and maybe find the size I need...instead I'd prefer an affordable online store. If you have any suggestions I'd greatly appreciate them!!!

Thanks so much!

Not sure about the stylish part but definately affordable- Roamans and Woman Within ( old lane bryant catalogue). Also Fashion bug online has some cute stuff and is affordable. As with most womans clothes, sizes vary.

Fashion Bug online is good. They are always having sales so they are reasonable. I would be carefull about purchasing clothes online though since the sizes always do seem to vary, but I suppose you could return them if they didnt fit right! I hate it though I always see cute things in the ads (bermuda shorts) and than i try them on and they look like S#$T on me! Good luck!

Thank you so much! I'm off to search for the thread on Lane Bryant That's the only store around here that's for larger women and they are too expensive and their clothes seem cheaply made to me, one of my biggest issues with them is that their shirts are really WIDE and really SHORT....which does me no good because I don't want my shirts to be like halter tops.

The Avenue is really great for those of us that have large feet. They start at size 9 and go up to I believe size 13. They carry wide width also. I think they are priced very reasonable. I love that store!!!

I'm just now getting into 20/22's and am going inside real stores for the first time in years. I'm finding some cute things at JCPenney and Dress Barn and Cato's.

Sarah Jessica Parker is coming out with a new line of clothing from size 2 to 22 and it's totally stylish/cute/sexy and so cheap it's almost free. It premieres June 7 at Steve and Barry stores.

An entire outfit costs under $30. (And I think that even includes the shoes!).

Jeans are $14. You can even get a winter coat for under $20. Her motto is that fashion isn't a privilege, it's a right. So it should be affordable for all women.

The line is called "Bitten". Here's the website:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
