People who have reached GW - where do you shop now?
Calling everyone who has reached their goal, or are close to it, and have had the chance to go shopping places that they've never been able to shop at before!
I started a "new wardrobe fund" when I started this back in March, and have been working on a wish list of clothes I'd like to buy when I reach my goal weight. I'm only halfway there, but I've been so excited at the prospect of being able to shop anywhere I want when I'm done, not just forced to stick to the stores that carried my size. I'm also excited that I can work on a style for myself. Previously I would find one shirt that fit and then buy it in 5 colors, because who can pass up a shirt that...fits! However, now that I've been looking at all the stores I've never been able to shop at, I'm surprised to find that I'm not exactly a fan of what I'm finding there. Maybe it's just a little overwhelming.
Long story short - when you got to the point where you could buy new clothes, where did you go and what did you find?

Hi! My strategy hasn't changed, but when I'm at GW (or within 2 lbs) I shop at Bebe. Their clothes fit my body-type really well.
Right now I'm close enough that I can buy and wear the size I want to be (minus jeans), but I'm building a wardrobe of basics. I shop at the Limited (esp. when they have sales) and Nordstroms or BCBG. I rarely go in Gap, J Crew, Banana only b/c they are for more straight figured women, which I will never be, nor do I want to be.
Good luck!
