    Excellent thread! I'm saving for a clothes spending spree when I reach my target weight! That should probably be mid to late summer at my current rate, so the first thing will be some shorts & tank tops.

    Fall is my favorite season though, so when fall is closer I'm gonna buy some cute sweaters, boots, corduroys, scarves, etc. :)

    I won't buy any new clothes, I'll wear the ones I already have and give anything too big to Goodwill.

    Before I gained twenty pounds back, at about 160 pounds, I bought an entirely new wardrobe. About four pairs of pants, three new blouses, four band shirts, two vests, and a blazer. None of these fit me very well now and I haven't worn any of them at all. So i'm excited to be able to wear those!

    But the number one thing I'm looking forward to buying is a dungaree!

    When i get to my dream weight (61 lbs time) i want a rocking bikini.... never had one. always been too self conscious of looking like a whale.

    that and a pair of killer skinny jeans. (legs currently look like fat sausages in them)

    I want a nice fitted button up shirt. Currently all of my shirts are pull over or the button ups I do have I wear unbuttoned so they won't gap over my belly and boobs. Also some pretty flowy skirts that show my awesome legs.

    I wanna add a sideways tilt to this thread.

    JASPER!! Thank you for creating such an awesome topic.

    Im a clothes horse..(no pun intended) Now ya wouldnt think that 'zactly possible for somebody that's been over 300 for 20 years would ya? Im also 6' tall ...long well muscled and defined legs "up to there" as the saying goes. Ive had a ton of surgeries and Ive got titanium pins plates screws and joints from my neck to my toes.

    Now with that said...my first act upon reaching goal is this. I have clothes to donate. Now when I say clothes.....Im not kidding. I have no less than 100 pair of jeans..in every color made. I have at least that many dress pants, in every color, texture, material and cut made. I have silk jacket shirts numbering 50 or so. I have V neck Tshirts with 3/4 sleeves in every color from white to black.(100-150) I have regular T in same. I have long sleeve or 3/4 sleeve dressy type blouses. As if that's not bad enough....I have two lawn and leaf type bags FILLED with panties...all colors, all styles, all materials. (NEVER been worn). I have at least 2 more of those same size bags of bras...colors, textures, cuts whites front hook back hook sports etc. Almost none of these clothes and lady things are more than 2 years old. A lot, as you can well imagine have never been worn...but Ive always said "Someday........." blah blah blah which is how Ive amassed so damn much.

    ...so as I near to goal...this **** gets donated to whoever wants it.

    My new wardrobe purchases will be knee high high heeled boots, lots of super high heeled shoes in all kinda colors, sneakers galore. Jean Jeans Jeans....just not "skinny" jeans. No dresses. Lots of dress pants. Lots n lots of feminine pastel frilly girly blouses.

    Jackets...leather / suede. One thing Ive always wanted was a fringe leather duster...to the FLOOR ...OMG Ive wanted one for so long.

    And fancy lacey "lady things" LOL. I swear a woman can never have enough lacy frilly pretty things

    Im the type of person who would never ever wear the same "outfit" twice if I had my way. My fiance' does not appreciate that attribute when he goes to the closet and wants something. One of my major issues here is......Im partially color blind and though I love pastels best...I cant detect variants in pinks / peaches....blues/greens/browns/blacks. I have to hang clothes by color or I tend to carry a "generic" top or jacket with me in case I miss the mark.

    Sorry to ramble but clothes are a passion of mine. I always said that GOD would never allow me to be thin, HE knows how'd I dress if I was skinny/thin :drinker: :blushing:

    We'll be living in Hawaii by the time I hit my weight. I suppose a cute skirt ? Maybe some shorts I wouldn't normally wear.

    Just jeans and slacks. :) Maybe a really sexy dress. I hate clothes shopping, though.

    ^lol what I was thinking too. But since that will get me arrested. Lots of new jeans since none of mine even fit and hopefully will end up too big by my 'target'. My first bikini. New bras/lingerie/panties. Lots of cute little tshirts that I could never pull off before being bigger. And a new coat since I was always stuck with bigger ones that weren't too cute. Oh, and lots and lots of work out clothing that's cute and tight.

    Thigh high boots and a mini skirt. :)

    I want to splurge on sexy under garments, and at goal, I should be able to fit into them.

    1. Shorts! I wear capris but no shorts in a LONG time.

    2. Dresses.. wearing a sun dress when you're pear shaped is NOT attractive.

    Pretty dresses that accentuate my waist and flat abs. Some nice Dereon jeans. I've found these to be the best fit for my butt and they still fit a smaller waist snuggly. I've always found other jeans several inches too wide in the waist. Also, some nice peplum blouses, jackets etc to show off my slim new waistline. I went shopping the other day and was appalled at my tummy buldge. I purchased some nice flowy sundresses that will look nice now as well as when I meet my goals. So no waste (pardon the pun) there.

    . Have you ever tried wearing a thick belt with your sundresses to accentuate your waistline?

    Yes, I fantasize about this stuff all the time!

    1. A new swimming suit
    2. Capris because I won't have cankles anymore (please, please tell me I won't have cankles anymore)
    3. Sandals
    4. A pair of boots that zip up the calves
    5. One of those darling little sundresses that I can wear with a big sun hat.
    6. Fitted long sleeved T-shirts (probably novelty ones so I can really exploit my geek)
    7. Pantsuits - I don't know what the number is, but I'm going to continue to buy them until it feels like enough
    8. Sweaters - all those sweater kits I bought for myself but haven't knit up yet. I'm looking forward to finally making them in my new size.

    That was fun.

    The perfect pair of designer jeans.
    Shorts! I have a pair or two but they don't look good or fit well.
    A couple Hanky Panky thongs.

    I can't wait to buy a great pair of jeans!
    also a cute sun dress. I'm not 21 anymore, so I will be careful about that! Always envy women wearing sun dresses.:wink:

    I've seen it done but I never thought it made it look much better on me. But yanno.. you're always your own worst critic.

    Honestly I'm going to be a little sad to get rid of some of my fat clothes. I never let my size hold me back - I have lots of sexy, cute, and functional outfits, that I feel really good in. I have dresses, skirts, adorable tops, etc.

    So I don't think there's anything I'm looking forward to buying - except maybe smaller bras - these straps about kill me.
