    When I went shopping the other day I LOVED waving at Lane Bryant and went into The Buckle instead!!! It felt so good!

    Victoria's Secret! I haven't ever had matching bra and panties, and look forward to fitting into their underthings so I can feel beautiful.

    Thrift stores! All my skinny friends can pull it off, where as I look like a frumpy big girl lol
    Haha I love how our responses are exactly the opposite :smile:

    lol! that is crazy! I have these 5'1 under 100lb friends that wear these sweat shirts from the 80s, and jackets and all this awesome stuff, and it fits me because they are larges, but its not cute at all lol
    I'm 5'1 and aiming for 105 C: I don't really go for vintage, though, just whatever fits and isn't too hideous :tongue:

    Vintage is hard to pull off and is def not everyones taste lol. This is the best example i could find, and we all look retard (Hopefully the pic works) im on the left, shes on the right, I love her style because is so her own! I cant wait until I can create my own look!

    Victoria's Secret!

    Other than that, I don't have a particular store I'm looking forward too. I mostly can't wait to walk into ANY store and know I'm going to fit into the stuff there. :)

    Abercombie and Fitch and Hollister

    but i've secretly kind of hate those stores because they fit so tiny! i don't think i'll ever fit their clothes cause my boobs and shoulders are so large. lol

    Same! Most of the stuff I wear comes from my older cousins, so I've never really had a chance to decide what to wear...I'm excited :smile:

    I agree! Anthropologie and anywhere with cute little dresses.
    Oh I can't wait to feel good about myself in a dress. :)

    I am going to say Zara, but I probably won't be small enough to shop there and find everything. Not all clothes come in all of the sizes. XL = US 12 most of the time. And some things only come in XS, S, M. Most items only come in XS - L. (Lots of cute stuff though!) The good thing about Zara? The price tag tells you what sizes are available for a particular item, so you don't have to waste time figuring out if size X exists or is just sold out.

    Also Mango, Armani Exchange and Club Monaco.

    Maybe Madewell? Some stuff looks cute. But overpriced.

    I kind of have a tricky shape to fit, so I could fit into tops at most stores. Pants have always been iffy. And dresses are hit or miss. So for me, the real milestone is if I can wear the pants! Right now, Gap and Ann Taylor work. Haven't tried on any at Banana Republic yet, so I guess we will see. H&M is still too small for pants, but dresses are fine.

    Not even holding my breath I will ever fit VS bras. I'll either be too small in the band or too big in the cups or both.

    I don't care about the store. I just want to shop anywhere and everywhere, while feeling confident and happy in the size I'm in, plus in how the clothes fit me!

    When I was a size 24 I said I'd never shop at Lululemon or Lorna Jane because they don't cater for larger ladies. Their XL is a Au size 16 (US 12).

    However, now I'm an Au size 18, I've decided that as soon as I can fit into an Au 16, I'm going to buy myself a cute gym outfit JUST CAUSE I CAN.

    I've been wearing daggy clothes to the gym for over a year now, it'd be nice to have just one 'good' workout outfit.

    Big W, just like my fat store ... I'm cheap.

    And 'look forward to' and 'clothes shopping' are mutually exclusive for me. ;)

    Victoria's secret!!!!!
    Even though my sister surprised me with a beautiful bra-panties set she was able to get in my current size from the Victoria's secret website, I can't wait til I can go in to the store location, get measured, and not asked to try on a bra a few sizes too small :P

    But more importantly...vintage and gently-used designer label pieces :) I.E. Crossroads trading co. and others.

    I have always wanted a pair of American Eagle jeans. I am not ready to spend the money on them though, when I still have a couple sizes to lose. Once I hit my goal, it'll be one of my rewards.

    Also, Victoria's Secret. Wanna buy something scandalous and sexy!

    I'll continue going to the thrift store. I have my pick of many of the brands listed plus so many women give away practically new clothes when they gain weight, win win :smokin:
