Sizes and more sizes!

So, being fairly ignorant about such stuff, here's a question for the ladies: I am 5'5", now at 179lbs, and CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME find things to fit. What to do? I am travelling in a month's time, and am stuck in that "in-between-world" (also known as never-never land) of plus sizes and misses sizes. I don't think I'll lose more than 5lbs in that month, as I am slowly losing at 1-2lbs per week. I really don't want to invest a lot of $$ right now, only to end up giving those clothes away. Any suggestions for clothing styles and brands that carry those styles would be much appreciated. The climate to where I am going is central Minnesota, where ANY weather can happen in May! Also, I am finding such inconsistencies amongst sizes and brands, and even within the same brand. VERY frustrating! SO please, tell me some of your favorite stores, brands, perhaps flexible sizes in said clothes, if you're of a mind.....and THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!!!

You made me laugh out loud with your Easter miracle. Please don't add that you "rolled away the stone"

Or I will probably pee my pants... Actually. That is one of the greatest parts of losing so much.... No more leakage.

Hope everyone found their eggs????

Ok. Went to the stores to, and lo and behold, ONCE AGAIN I am BETWEEN sizes!! This is a good thing, but very frustrating.....SOOOOOO, I decided HEY! I am going to reward myself for every ten pounds I lose!!!! YIPEE! Since I couldn't legitimately purchase clothes that were too big or too small, with nothing fitting in between, I TOOK CONTROL of the situation and told myself "All is not lost, you should have a treat"! So I bought a bag. Oh, she is pretty, and I deserve it! I will set aside money every month, to be able to buy something special for those ten long-lost pounds. And when it is all said and done, I WILL NEED A NEW CLOSET!!!
