New clothes

Has anyone on here ever went out and bought some new clothes before they've had their surgery, just anticipating what size they think they might be? I bought several items today on clearance for next year!

      Like many, I had a few sizes in my closet. I'm just now at a point where I'm down to the lowest size in my closet. I've bought a few things but not much. I've not bought a goal outfit yet, but I do bu

      Yep. I did it but I started with just buying a couple sizes smaller (only a few pairs of pants) and then completely blew through one size before I went back to work and really had a chance to wear it

    I bought a couple summer tops in large for next year. Figured couldn't go wrong with them on clearance.

    I wanted to, but the reality is, I have no clue where I might be next year size wise, so I bought clothes I want to hopefully wear next year for my daughter instead. She's 5'8 and wears a size 10/12 so my thought is, if I get to her size, I'll reclaim them all, and if I don't, then she's still a well dressed kiddo! Haha I did buy a dress and leggings a few sizes down from Old Navy with my oldNavy cash in anticipation of needing something to wear in the months post op. Felt weird buying clothes I know don't fit, but I'm sure it'll pay off when I wake up needing clothes one day and my current clothes and my "used to fits" don't fit enough to leave the house.
