Who do you want to be after?

I have been thinking a lot about how I want to alter my style post op when I am able to wear "whatever I want".

I want to wear boots, lots of skirts, leggings and in general be even more girly than I am now. (If that's possible lol )

Anyone else thought about this?

    I'm actually just looking forward to being able to buy more affordable clothes. It's like there's a "fat lady tax" on the nice clothes available in my current size (22-24). If you look online, when y

I want to fit into all of my old concert tee shirts! I would never wear them in public, but just to be able to wear them as lounge around shirts would be fun. I feel like my personal style will stay the same. My favorite place to shop is Old Navy and they carry the same stuff for regular and plus sizes. The regular sizes are just cheaper... wayyyy cheaper. I'm looking forward to shopping at the Gap. I love the timeless look of jeans and a tee. And being able to shop at places like Loft, J Crew, and the occasional forever 21 spree lol. 90% of the time though, I wear Chef's whites. They make these cute feminine cut pants and chef jackets and I'm looking forward to wearing those instead of the shapeless unisex ones.

Aside from personal style, the person I want to be is free and fun loving. When I hit my goal I want to treat myself by going to a music festival like Coachella. I know I could goto one at any size, but I would enjoy it more without all the extra weight holding me back. When you are surrounded my music, you gotta do a lot of dancing :)

The primary look I want for weekend wear is actually featured in a Air France safety video! Hahahah only me ????

I will see if I can find a still...

I'm a city girl and want that effortless chic look, sleek hair and a classic red lip. Ok the hair and classic red lip I have it's just the neck down that needs some tweaking! Hahahah

The only downside? The cost of shopping :P

Also, I used to have trouble finding my size on a rack. I'm finding that's still the case. What's the deal with the lack of smalls on a rack??

this ^^^^

I have just as much of a problem finding clothes in a small (or XS) as I did in a 3X. Doesn't seem fair! :wacko:

I'm discovering that I'm apparently a total basic white girl. Since getting near goal, I love to wear long sweaters with scarves, skinny jeans, and boots. Just stick a Starbucks cup in my hand and call me Becky! :rolleyes:

I'm 50 years old and wear pretty, feminine age appropriate clothes. I tend to like to be more conservative and wear longer sleeves and longer skirts. I want to get some cute cowgirl boots to wear with jean skirts. I like other boots too and want to wear really feminine dresses/skirts but that aren't too tight. I've been looking on Pinterest to find cute styles and outfits.

I am 55 yrs old and scheduled to have a gastric sleeve next month. I also can not wait to wear some fashionable clothes. My children are non supportive,they want me to cancel my surgery.

I want to wear a sheath dress, pencil skirt and a button down shirt (not together of course). And never have to shop at a plus sized store again. I am close but still need to wear a 14W in pants.

My family was supportive and all for me, but right at the end of the process my 16 yr old got really scared. It was tough going through with it, knowing how scared he was, but I had to do it for myself.
