I'm actually finding the thrift and consignment shops more interesting as I lose weight. I found two where there are very high end clothes in OKC. When I went there at 305, there were not many options, but in the 220's...oh tons of great buys. I found a shirt that I really liked at Nordstroms but they wanted $280 for it. $5 at 2nd hand store - obviously had never been worn. It's one of my "go to first date shirts". . So most of this obviously depends on where you live and your life style, but the basic message is:
1) Don't invest in clothes during the transition.
2) Dress your age, not what you wore last time you were this size
3) Don't work on Wall Street unless you have $15K to invest in clothes
4) Look for a good tailor if you can
What was not mentioned was you can get your belts taken in at any shoe repair store. Saved about $200 worth of belts on that one.
Oh, and if you served in the military...
keep an old uniform, it feels really cool when you can get back in it again.

This post is a big commercial? Chile PLEASE!
I am a fashionista! I look cute ALL the time and I bargain shop. Please stop spreading the stereotype that all fat folks wear unfashionable clothing in dark, boring colors.

Thanks. I'll check it out and may join by week's end. But... Men...we need MEN to be there! :-)
And congrats on reaching your goal!
