how did you shop for the in between weight?

I have lost 15 pounds, woohoo, but all of my clothes (bras included) are too big for me. I love having this problem, but dont have the money to buy new wardrobe now and then again when more weight comes off. I would love to hear what others did during their weight loss journey.

Thrift shops......I buy what I need then donate it back when it doesnt fit. I have done that many many times over the last 2 years.

I haven't quite gotten to that yet. I still had some clothes from my current size left over from before (I'm pretty sure bell bottoms for guys will make a comeback). For my next progression, I'm planning to visit my local Goodwill. Then, when I get to the permanent size, I'll donate them back. I expect to have two more size changes on my way to my goal.

Edit: I didn't mean to copy your idea, Mama Goose. I was typing while you were posting. :happy:

Kohls still has a "slim" line of clothes. You can get this slim cut of clothing in the larger size and it works well as an in between size. I have a broad chest and shoulders and it's hard to get a decent fitting shirt that is large enough for my soulders without hanging like a tent around my waist. The slim cut is a good fit,

I shop at Ross whenever I am able to 1) get to the store and 2) have money for shopping. ;__;

Otherwise I stick to sweats that i find on the shelf for cheap at Walmart.

I'm poverty level income. so I have to be a cheap skate and I never spend full price for clothes. Clearance racks are awesome as well as thrift stores. I need to get myself a couple belts, cause some of my clothes are getting lose. Thankfully my mom is an excellent seamstress, so she'll put a dart or two in my clothes to make them fit.

I don't want to buy new clothes yet because I know that I'm going to be a smaller size soon. So for the moment, I just keep pulling up my jeans every 5 minutes.

I don't want to let myself buy new clothes until I reach my goal size (which won't be much longer!) so that way it's an incentive to get it done!!

Clearance racks, Ross, Dirt Cheap, Goodwill... Also I pretty much live in workout type clothes with elastic/drawstring waists, sports bras, and t-shirts. That kind of stuff is more forgiving as it gets looser and doesn't look like droopy drawers so quickly.

Goodwill honey is the answer and use it. There makes no sense to look frumpy because your losing weight. I mean what if you never reach a certain number fashion doesn't forgive that or at least with me.

I have started wearing my more stretchy stuff right now. Ex. Sports bras, yoga pants , sweats . Just for now
