I am currently walking in regular cotton pants and usually wear a cotton jacket. When is drizzles or rains, I can't walk because I be so weighed down and feel miserable that it isn't worth it. So I am asking for suggestions on decent outdoor walking pants and jacket that do not cost a fortune. Anyone have any ideas?

And what about indoor clothes for a gym? I hate wearing a t-shirt but what optios does a big girl have? I have been to all the big dept. sites and everything is not my size or $70 for pants. Yikes!!!

Old Navy has nice outfits at reasonable prices. You could also try Lane Bryant, Fashion bug & Target.

You could also wear plain pants/top and spice it up with a nice jacket.

Try SierraTradingPost.com for closeout athletic wear and casual clothing. I have had good luck at outlet stores such as Nike, Adidas, Izod and The North Face..I do not always have luck finding XL, but I have found some good items. I like to layer.

I've found wonderful things at the second hand stores in town. Got to search a bit for larger sizes, but they can be found.

Or can you or are you willing to learn to sew? Pants are the easiest things in the world to make.

Good luck!

Both Lands End and LL Bean have Waterproof/Resistant outerwear and I believe they carry plus sizes.

Gym clothes in the house was very interesting!

Columbia and Champion have great workout clothes. Target carries Champion. I went online about a year ago and found 1/2 doz pants and 1/2 doz capris at around $7/pr. Check out the clearance on Target.com.

Just had a thought that LLBean has outlet stores where you can get some good deals. If you have one near by check it out to see what outer wear they have in stock. Also Marshalls/ TJ Maxx has a Active wear section which can have expensive work out gear at reasonable prices.

Also Target has a good selection of things. I also do second hand shopping.:frown:

I was recentlu in JCPenny and I was surprised at the variety of exercise clothes they had and how good the prices are. Many were on sale at the time.
