I wanted to get a goal outfit and realized I don't even know where normal sized women my age shop?! My 30 something friends are plus sized and my 20 something friends buy dresses so short I considered getting one as a shirt. I like girly, slightly bohemian style, similar to anthropologie. But nothing really jumped out at me on their website. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Well I can't give age appropriate advice because I dress like I am in my 20s. I also look like I am in my 20s, I hope it lasts.

Anyway, don't buy goal clothes or shoes. Your body is probably different and when you lose you will look different. Also you may lose so rapidly you pass that goal up and never get to wear to wear it.

I buy myself mini goal gifts. Tom Ford perfume, Armani lipstick, etc.

Size goals might really drive you crazy. I am already basically at the size I hoped to be, but I still have at least 60lbs to go, so I am going to drop a few more sizes.

You may want to try modcloth.com. Definitely fits the Bohemian style plus others. I know I will be picking up a few dresses from there. Great thing is their clothes go from XS to XXXL on some things.

Oh. And also look at Etsy! I am really digging kaftans right now and there seems to be a good selection.

Also zulily! It's online and the options are often hot or miss, but I have gotten a lot of cute pieces cheap there.

I love Anthropologie, though they can be a bit hit-or-miss for me. They usually have one of their biannual sales in July, so it's a good time to pop in and see if there is anything you like. I also shop at Free People, Max Studio, Zara, and TJ Maxx. My last shopping spree was at the Camarillo outlets where I found a lot of great deals at Saks Fifth Avenue, Joe's, and 7 for all Mankind. Other outlets with those stores probably have sales going on as well. I think Nordstrom's still has its sale going on, too. Nordstrom Rack is another store worth checking out IMO. Oh, Madewell also has a bit of a boho feel.

I just started shopping on Zulilly, first time I ordered 2 items just because I wasn't sure about sizing. Those were fine, so I just ordered several maxi dresses for the summer. This just might be a little addicting!

it's easy to get addicted to them! I buy a lot of my jean shorts there because at $14.99 or so I don't feel as bad when I blow through a size a month. They fit so well and when things don't fit so well, they make it right by you and I like that! Also love the reborn collection. I have several of their tunics in various colors, styles, and prints but they take like 4wks to get and sometimes I'm out of them before they arrive.

That's how I felt about the maxis I ordered. At $7.99 & $9.99 each, I won't be too bothered if I only get one wear. Once I hit goal--- it's on lol

Old Navy, Target, Kohls, H & M and JcPenney mostly. I'm trying to be a bit frugal and not spend a ton because I'm not done losing yet and I want to really define my style now that I have to get everything new. So I'm picky and cheap, lol.

I was going to recommend Madewell as well if you like Anthro vibes. Also any good department store will have a section of festival inspired looks- barneys, neimans, saks etc

Asos has cute stuff online and for soooo cheap.
