Who else is trying to resist to buy all the clothes that finally look great on you?

I can't tell you how much I relate to all this.
As a man who literally never cared about clothes his entire life - this has begun to become an obsession of mine.
Growing up I literally just wore jeans, shorts, and a t-shirt that told you what my favorite band, sports team, or TV show was. That was my teenage fashion. Then I hit 18 and went from slightly chubby to obese. To morbidly obese.
Since then, for the last 13 or so years, I literally just buy whatever fits, makes me look less fat, and is comfortable.
Now, I'm 31, 95 lbs down with about 85 more pounds to go - and I cant wait to get in shape and BUY CLOTHES! I've never had that feeling in my ife before and now I think about it daily LOL.
I can't wait to actually shop and buy what I like instead of just buying what fits.5 -

My boyfriend can do this with LL Bean. The first time we went to an outlet I was flabbergasted when he bought stuff without trying it on. Alas, this is only true for their men's wear.1 -

TBH I'd like to stray from my comfort zone and pick different things, even just different T-shirt designs.
Honestly, I do a lot of thredup and sometimes poshmark and just filter by brands I know. They've got good buyer protection, thred up is vetted for condition, and it's relatively inexpensive. I just don't branch out a lot if I can't go see things in person.
I'll check those out, thanks!!
@penguinmama87 I did look that site up and they are expensive, for me too.
I actually went to a "Life Is Good" store yesterday and I love their shirts!! Their upstairs was devoted to clearance items and had lots to pick from but since I couldn't decide which one I liked, I bought dh a shirt instead. Lol Now that I know the store's there, I'll go back. Life Is Good makes me happy.
They have some kind of program on Amazon where you can get items, then send back what you don't like and only pay for what you keep. Can't remember the name but has anyone tried something like that?
I was shopping for just plain brown leggings on Amazon the other day. I always read one star reviews. These were so depressing. Quality was junk and sizing is not American.
You are thinking of Prime Wardrobe. I've never used it.

I'm about two years past when I should have replaced some of my summer clothes...0 -
Definitely me. I started out by buying ALL the workout clothes. Now I'm starting to buy jeans and shorts and cute tops. It feels so good to pick up something in a store and pretty much know it will fit.1

I shop on Poshmark, so I don't resist much...lol.
I've gone from a 3x to an xl, so I've replaced almost everything I own twice and will probably have to do so again. Before Covid I had bought a pretty dress, I have yet to have anywhere to wear it though.
I have donated so many clothes that our local charity does not want any more from me3
