When do you buy new clothes?

As you shrink in size, when do you decide to buy new clothes? I know sometimes we really don't have a choice as our clothes begin to really hang, if not fall, off of us. But, just curious how every handles the clothing situation if they are not at goal weight.

I live on a tight budget and the clothing thing drives me crazy because I do not have the budget to go out and buy new clothes every time I don't fit in my clothes anymore. At one time, I was fortunate to have a friend who went through her wardrobe to find items she no longer wears. I was like a kid in a candy store. I also shop on occasion at second hand stores. I'm really saving out for when I hit my goal weight to buy brand new.

Just looking to hear some other thoughts on this...

I have a fixed % of our income reserved for clothing. Which usually just means one new item every paycheck. If items are more expensive then just that for the month. I would also look for clothes that will look good on you as you slim down! And shop at places that give you more bang for your buck.
