I can officially say that I have nothing for summer, everything is too big so I have to bite the bullet for the first time in a long time and buy myself a new wardrobe.

What are the trend for summer? I have no idea how to dress myself

    Well, this is GOOD news :)

    What kind of styles do you like? What body shape are you? Are you lookin' for work clothes? More casual?

    I am pear shape

    Work is pretty casual and for my life I need easy. No froufrou for me
    I am not sure what I like anymore but I can say that I didn't saw anything I like at Walmart

    Good fitting jeans are always a good idea. Levi's makes a jean called the 529 Curvy Cut that are great for hourglass and pear shapes. They are bigger in the hips and thighs but smaller in the waist. They shouldn't be too expensive either.

    My summer wardrobe is either tank tops and jeans or t-shirts and bright running shorts lol. I work full time and go to school full time and luckily get to dress as casual as I want for either. I agree that a good fitting pair of jean is a must! My favorite brand is GAP since I can get curvy and long. Congrats on the weight loss and getting new outfits!!!! Have fun with it! Oh, Target has some really cute clothes and they're decently priced too :D

    Do you have Kohl's in Cananda? Their Sonoma "classic" fit shorts are perfect for big hips and small waist. I go for knit cotton tops a lot but try to make myself avoid plain ol' T-shirts. I also do a lot of short sleeve sweaters over tanks or Ts.

    I'm frustrated that a lot of what's "in" right now is 80s-inspired, boxy, oversized shirts. :laugh: I didn't lose weight to wear over-sized!

    Oh me either! I hate that look, and since I have big boobs, all those clothes make me look pregnant and about 20 lbs heavier than I really am. Screw that. I will stick to my fitted clothes.

    Color is very in right now! I am always fearing color, lol. I think mint is the color of summer 2012. I have a "pinterest" and mint is all over that thing! I love white linen pants for summer, breezy, comfy and I feel like I am on vacation. I know they say stripes make you look wider, but stripes are very in. Nautical navy and white stripes I think are a classic combo. I am also very casual. I usually get basic t shirts and some patterned tanks at H&M. If you are willing to splurge, I think Banana Republic is a great place to get some classic wardrobe staples that will last you for awhile.

    I don't have this problem yet. Luck for me, I have 3 storage bins of clothes under my bed that are all too small. When I hit my goal I can purge my closet and go shopping under my bed lol!

    Oh, also if you have Marshalls, check there. They seem to be current on trends and offer quite the discount on name brands.
