Ok ladies and gentleman... I have finally reached goal! I have passed on all of my clothes to friends going through their own transition and literally have 3 pair of pants, 2 pair of shorts, 2 tshirts, a sweater, and my workout gear. These items were purchased 75% off or at my local thrift store (I'm a bargain shopper). Please help me find some cute clothes!

I'm a 29 year old mom of 5 and I'm tired of dressing to fade into the background. My past wardrobe has consisted of black, navy, tan, and just plain things so I could fade away from shame of my size. Now, I am happy with my size!

Do any of you have any good websites you can share, hidden online gems where I can find cute clothes, or specific items you have found online for spring/summer?

I'm sick of dressing like a frumpy teacher/housewife but I also don't want to look like a club goer (been there, done that)... but an in-style, confident woman that has her stuff together and is happy with herself.

I don't know where to start! I'm sick of wearing workout clothes on days when I haven't stepped foot in the gym so please MFP friends- help me shop!!! Thanks in advance!

    QVC has some cute things - and some frumpy things but there is lots to choose from. I recently purchased some great shorts for a cruise. I have friends that have purchased designer clothes from eBay too. If you are scared to by pre-worn or not new items you can search by size and New with tags only. I also buy from Coldwater Creek, Chicos and Ann Taylor when things are on sale. I have younger friends that buy real sexy dresses from Victoria Secret too. Good luck and Congratulations!

    Honestly (I know its easier to shop online) I would go to the actual stores when they have sales ect. because clothes can be really cute online and you turn out to hate them or they don't fit quite right etc. I wouldn't want you spending money on things that you won't wear since you now have a kick butt body to show off!

    someone posted this site when talking about goal outfits, it is really cool, kinda like playing dressup online. i believe all clothing items have links to where you can buy them online, or even tell you which store. there are loads of higher priced designer things, as well as great lower priced things...even if you don't find anything you can buy, it's still fun to look through everything and put together outfits.

    OMG you ladies rock!!! Thank you so much! I never thought about QVC but I will definitely check there, along with all of the other sites! I have a hard time getting out and spending time shopping in a brick & mortar store. I don't care much about designer labels and the majority of what I buy is pre-worn (I think of it like borrowing clothes from a friend I've never met... lol). I do invest in a few quality pieces, especially when I'm in the workforce (teacher) but now I am a sahm.

    I'd like to get a few quality staples that will last me for years to come and supplement with trendier pieces and accessories. You've all given me great places to start looking! Thanks!

    First time in my life I've actually been excited to shop for clothes! lol
