How long till you started investing in new clothes?

When the old clothes that used to be flattering were no longer flattering. (as in the dresses started looking more like a loose sack rather than accentuating the curve of my waist)(My excess weight tends to go on the thighs, *kitten*, and front of tummy - I pretty much always keep an hourglass figure from the front..so clothes that are too loose are much less flattering). And when the sports bras no longer do their job/running shorts/capris/pants/tights don't stay up as well. I hate shopping though. If in person, I usually go to Amvets. Mostly I'm lazy and just amazon-prime a bunch of stuff.

I've always fluctuated between sizes, or I bought stuff online that was too small and I just never returned it, so I haven't really had to buy any new clothes yet. But I imagine I'm going to have to next time I drop a size. But I'm just going to buy clearance clothes from cheap stores (Forever 21 and Rue 21 have clearance clothes from 3-15 dollars!)

I dislike shopping so only as needed. My jeans are a little baggy but don't yet look clownish, so that can wait. I have just one t-shirt that doesn't look like a tent, so I'll pick up a couple of them this week.

Edit: Not to be pedantic, but clothes aren't an "investment." They're just a cost.

Second time I've seen "pedantic" used this week. I thought I had a decent vocabulary, but I had to Google it!

Did I use it right?

I went through SEVERAL wardrobes! I would have no clothes if it weren't for Goodwill, we have some great stores near us. I buy as much there as I can, then buy brand new for things I can't find there, specialty items, or something cute on sale that I like, etc. I have more clothes now than I used to have!

I'm wondering when I should buy a new belt. I'm having so much fun punching new holes in a belt I could barely wear 6 months ago. 2 more holes and the end of the belt will be going through my side belt loop.
