Frustration with Clothes!!

By BandedNellie

· 404 views

What I am about to write... if I read I would hate me, but bear with me... I am sure as we all shed the lbs... we all have this problem no matter what size we were to begin with... so here it goes..

I need to break up with my fat girl clothes.. but am too afraid.. ( and too cheap ) I am a little bit of a clothing freak.. I love all types of clothes and have ALL sizes in my closet. I need to dress semi professional for work - which basically means.. as long as I look nice I can wear ANYTHING.. so this leaves me with a lot of options..

The fall is my absolute favorite time of year when it comes to my wardrobe.. love wearing vests.. cute sweaters, light jackets.. etc.. THEY ARE ALL TOOO BIG and I want to wear them.. but they are starting to look ridiculous and basically do not show off my hard work.. BUT I CAN NOT LET THEM GO!!! I have bought some "transitional sizes" Thank GOD for TJ Maxx and Marshalls.. also have been hitting a few consignment shops.. to get me through until I hit my goal.. I am also thinking of getting some of my nicer ( expensive ) pieces altered.. ie Talbots suits..etc. What have you all done? I also need to go Bra shopping... my absolute LEAST favorite thing - but there is no altering those:sneaky:

Do not get me wrong.. I am greatful for this problem..:smile:

    That is great. I do understand how you feel about your clothes. We spend thousands of dollars on our wardrobes. However you are now going to be able to wear things you couldn't wear before. You can always sell your clothes to consignment stores and put the money toward a new wardrobe. Just think you will be able to build a new improved wardrobe..

    I am a hoarder so I have a hard time parting with anything that is still "good", so I am going to share one of my coping mechanisms with you. To get rid of something I have, I have to find someone who I feel needs the item more than I do. For instance, it could be a lady at your church who is getting a divorce and needs a new wordrobe to enter the workforce or our town has a program for the crisis center for abused women who need clothes for work. This helped me give away 100% of my too big clothes.
