Shrinking out of all my clothes

I tend to buy one size down of things (than I currently am) when I see them at a bargain because it seems every 2/3 weeks my body is changing.

Charity shops don't seem to have age appropriate wear for me in my area , but I am more than happy to pay £5 for a pair of trousers or jeans from Primark, outlet shops or from supermarket sales racks.(bought a new dress for £8.20 the other day...beaut!) I always have something to wear & something to try on which fits better each time I do. It's quite a lift! I'm also a fan of belts, things with drawstrings (extra time before the backside gets baggy!) & tops/jumpers/dresses that look good both tight & loose. Think I've slowed to one or two items a month now which is nearly always less than £20 all in.... definitely saved that much on the food bills, so I don't see it as extravagance.

It's hard not to go overboard when there is a whole new world of clothes that have opened up to me, but I have to try & be good. Remind myself that I can make my bank account cry all I want when I get to goal haha XD

For me, it's important to dress to my changing shape. Gives me confidence & let's my brain register the changes with something tangible. In 5 months I've went from a size 18/20 on top to a 12. On bottom I'm currently a 16 (began at 22)but some of those are loosening up too. It's all worth it though, hey?

Second hand stores.

I wear gym clothes pretty much constantly now. Leggings are the only thing working for me now. Fortunately for me, I work from home so I don't have to dress nice. I buy one pair of jeans in my current size. And one or two cute tops for when I need to go out somewhere and look semi presentable.
If I needed nicer clothes I would likely hit up clearance racks and thrift stores, so I don't feel like I'm wasting too much money!

Have a clothing swap with friends. Everyone brings stuff they don't want to wear anymore and walks away with new pieces (in new sizes). Donate the leftovers to charity. Or just find a friend or coworker in your new size who's cleaning out their closet!

Check out Old Navy, Kohl's, TJ Maxx, Marshall's and other stores that offer large discounts. Select a few basics for work to mix and match.

Dresses are great during weight loss - they tend to be the most forgiving, and usually still wear well as you drop a few sizes.

While in transition, I shop Goodwill for slacks and shirts for work.
I then donate the 'too big' clothes back to Goodwill.

Thrift stores, Wal-Mart, and stretchy knits are my best friends. I find some serious bargains in my local thrift shops. Unfortunately, I'm still in plus size pants which are next to impossible to find used. I buy those mostly at Wal-Mart. Still pretty cheap and they have a good selection. I don't care if they are low quality because I don't plan on wearing them more than a few months. Burlington, TJ Maxx, Ross, and Marshall's have good deals when I need something nice.

If you have trendy or expensive clothes in good shape look into selling or trading them through a resale shop. I used to trade all my clothes through a place called Buffalo Exchange when I was a fashionable teen. I hear from other sellers on eBay that plus size clothes get a good price and move fast.

For non-athletic gear (skirts, dresses, tops), I usually try Amvets (2nd hand like Goodwill, Salvation Army) or have the 'Amazon Fairy' bring me an assortment of sizes/cuts of more inexpensive items to try on (the latter is what I mostly do for athletic gear).
