    TJ Maxx, Marshalls, target...any of those store usually have super cute clothes at great prices. you could even pick up a few essential pieces you can use over, and save the rest and get a few items you know youll be too small for...Try goodwill for T's, sweatshirts, shorts, etc.

    :) Good luck

    Also, Old Navy online has good deals!!! That way you can get some new clothes to fit, but not spend a lot of money in the meantime!!

    I have noticed how important it is to have at least a few good outfits in the right size. It totally improves my moral. So even though it is short term, buy them and resell them when you lose more weight.

    May take a little longer to find what you are looking for but if you take the time, can do really well. Plus you're helping out others at the same time.

    When I shop when I'm losing, I usually keep pants to a minimum since those are difficult to alter and tend to be more reliant on size. Right now I have one pair of jeans and one pair of black pants that fit - and that is it on the pants front!

    I stick to tops, skirts, and dresses. All of which are more forgiving to looking good still as you lose weight (I have a good 30 pound+ range on all my skirts and dresses). And skirts and dresses are generally easier to alter once you reach your goal weight if you like them and want them more fitted.

    Oh, and shoes. Your feet won't change sizes and shoes make you feel good -- you can have new shoes even if you are wearing older clothes.....

    Between Goodwill and Walmart, you should be able to find a couple pieces to hold you over until you lose more. I know it sucks, I'm going through that right now, too. I found a really cute pair of DKNY jeans at Goodwill for $6, though. It's a pain to search through everything, but it's a double bonus to buy a smaller size AND get a really good price. I don't know where you're from, but you can also look at Plato's Closet, too. They only sell more stylish clothes, but they're secondhand, too. They have a chain here in Cincinnati and are very affordable.
