What do you want to wear when you reach your ideal weight?

So this morning I'm going through my closet like I do every morning thinking, "I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR" and I keep seeing the same shirts I bought last year, two years ago that I have been dying to wear.. but can't because they don't fit! I've spent so much money on clothes over the past few years but can only wear about 1/3 of them. Soooooo my question is: what clothes do you have in your closet that you CAN'T WAIT to wear again once you lose that weight?

For me, it is a pink and white striped t-shirt I bought at PacSun on a whim and a green and white striped shirt from AE. Perfect summer clothes... and of course, my blue and white bikini!

Just thought this would be a fun thread to keep motivation up for those of us who want to lose weight so we can feel better about what we wear :)

    I really really want to be able to wear my torn white jeans from Old Navy. I only have about 20-25lbs to lose for that... but the BIGGEST deal is my Highschool Prom dress. My husband has fancy dinner things all the time and I LOVE that dress. I would like to be able to wear ANY of my dresses from highschool!!! Thats 70lbs from now! :)

    Hmmm... I think for me it is probably this jean mini skirt I wore in high school. Have you ever seen Crossroads with Britney Spears? Its just like the one she wears when she does I love Rock n Roll. I bought one just like it and I've always loved it. I kept it, even though I havent been able to wear it in years.
    I've always been a mini skirt girl, they make me feel hott.
    So that's what I want to wear. :)

    I want to be able to fit into a size 4-6, tea length wedding dress for this August. I haven't bought it yet, but I know which one I want. I know the size is realistic because I wore a 2-4 size pants 2 years ago (bone/structure wise it's do-able).

    In the meantime, my sister is getting married May 21st and I'm her maid of honor. My dress currently is hanging on my closet door...I tried it on a few weeks ago, it clipped at the top, but it would NOT ZIP!!! My alteration appointment is march 8th and I want it to fit!!! ...The one I tried on at the store fit fine, but they did warn me that when people get their dresses in, they often are tighter because a zillion peope haven't tried it on or stretched it out or warmed up the zipper....but still...

    I have a very pretty summer dress, pale yellow with lovely pale red and orange flowers on. It's NEVER fitted but my goal is to wear it this summer, I recon I need to lose about 50lbs for that...so here goes! That's just a part time goal though, my final goal is a beautiful grey chiffon ball gown that I bought last year because it was in a sale dispite it being a million sizes too small. It is hanging up in my bedroom where I can look at it every day and be motivated to do well. Oh and it'd be nice not to look like a beached whale in a bikini!

    photobucket hates me...I was going to post a picture but can't seem to get it to work.

    I have this halter dress its short tight and emerald green. I bought it because it was on sale with the intention of giving it to my sister for her birthday. But I love the color and its everything I have never had the guts to wear. Basically I fell in love with this dress.

    My first goal is the size 22 jeans I use to wear, and after that, I don't have anything. So I want to be able to buy a short dress right off the rack...something that will show my soon to be fabulous legs!

    I have not worn a skirt in over 16 years.
    I hate my legs and thighs and trousers cover me up.
    I am looking forward to being confident to go out and buy a skirt and wear it out. :O)

    not in my closet BUT I want to wear a pair of skinny jeans :)
    Ive never really worn jeans apart form big baggy boyfriend style ones but want to be slim enough to wear nice tight fitting ones.

    Something in my closet is a pair of red 3/4 length trousers I love them and want the figure to wear them again!

    My old favorite jeans. Loved those jeans. They were the perfect length, didn't drag the ground but they didn't show my ankles either, and they hit my hips at just the right spot so I didn't get a muffin top. I want to wear those. And I have a high-waisted black skirt that I'd love to wear again -- I don't dress up often, but that skirt is so hot. I'd wear it around the house just to look at myself. :laugh:

    I have a pair of jeans that were the PERFECT jeans. I always felt HOT when I wore them. Next is a bikini. I have always been a bigger person and even in high school was never comfortable in a bikini. I want to go to the beach and be the hot mom in a bikini.

    At the post-Christmas sales I bought a really cute empire-waist tunic/dress with colourful flowers. That's my highest priority. (I currently look pregnant in it - I love empire waists to death but they do that to you if you're not super skinny, alas. And being just 20, I don't want to look pregnant just yet...)

    Then I have a black blouse for choir concerts (dress code is all black, so I had to go shopping for my first concert with them) that it would be nice to wear without feeling like I have the biggest belly ever. Next concert is on March 15, so it's not that far to go - I hope I've made some progress!

    I also have a denim skirt that I might possibly be able to wear if I get really skinny. I haven't been able to wear it comfortably since I was in my early teens, though, so it's possible that my hips have got too wide since then...

    Lastly, old jeans! I hate shopping and I have several pairs of old beloved jeans that aren't THAT far off my current size, so it'd be nice to be able to wear those again. :)

    My big goal is to be able to close my eyes and pick anything out of my closet (all new of course because I will have had to toss all my fat clothes!) ans grab anything and know it will fit perfect! Not have to worry about those show this so I have to wear that to cover it up. Or worry about clothes streaching or pinching and just being uncomfortable.

    I wanna wear cute sundresses and shorts. The last few years I've been in capris to cover my thighs. I wanna be able to wear a bathing suit (it dosen't even have to be a bikini) and feel beautiful!

    I want to get back into all of my size 5's !! I can still wear a few of them...but several I can't even fasten. And I have some cute fitted Tee's that I can't wear anymore because of the muffin top from my size 5's being too tight!

    I want to be able to wear a sports bra to workout in, with out having to have a shirt on too, so I can see my abs and all the hard work I've put in. I am a lot closer to that than I have been in years, but still not quite there. Maybe someday in the next year or so I'll be able to feel better about doing that, and not embarassed if my husband comes in while I'm working out where I feel I have to cover my stomach back up!

    Also, I bought two brand new bikinis last Friday night, I want them to look great on me by the time summer gets here. Hope I can reach that goal soon.

    I have alot of nice office clothes too, for when I hit a size 10......and when I hit a size 8, I have an absolute favorite pair of jeans still in the closet....lol... but at goal weight....I would love to be able to wear a bikini. I havent worn one in 20 years..before I had my daughter, who is now 14. Wow..those were the days...and even then..I thought i was too big...HA!!

    oh yeah.....a gorgeous matching bra and panty set.....something really sexy...for me...no one else, but just to feel good in something sexy. My bras look hideous on me now, with all this bra fat hanging out in back, and on the sides....:noway:

    I have this beautiful halter top with jewels that fits, but I am pretty self-conscious about how I have some flab on my arms and elsewhere. I also have some shorts that I'd love to feel comfortable in. Also, I found this wonderful summery beautiful Victoria's Secret bikini. Once I lose a few more I'm gonna treat myself with that bikini. Something I've never worn!!!

    Definately wearing only a sports bra while running on a hot hot summer day. Men run with their shirts off when it's hot so I don't really see it as a big deal.

    Size 25 jeans!!!!!!!!!

    A pencil skirt. Still looking for that perfect one.

    I also said that when I reach my goal weight I would buy myself the most perfect bathing suit: http://www.pinupgirlclothing.com/cherry-swimsuit-retro-one-piece.html
