[QUOTE=qurlybee;1053541]Luckily my wardrobe consists mostly of maxi dresses and skirts :)
I can't wait until those dresses and skirts just fit better! The first thing I'd purge is my collection of cardigans to cover my beefy arms, back fat, and [B]that annoying fat above my armpits[/B]. When I can trade some of those in for bandeau tops, I will be shouting all through this thread![/QUOTE]One of the first "reward" pieces of clothing I bought myself when I stopped being self conscious about bare shoulders was this gorgeous black leather bustier. Now the darn thing is too big and won't stay up. I just sent it off to the goodwill.

Omg, I would KILL to be able to wear a bustier! But I also am pretty busty so I feel like I would look super inappropriate... lol. Might have to trade my teaching job for something a little more.... exotic? :)

I have stayed a solid size B in the front as I've lost weight but I've just lost all of the stuff across the ribs and under the arms.

B??????
I think I might hate you...
I wish I was still a B. I was a B when I was 11! :(
And I totally hear you on the retired and wild bit. Especially with the stress of this job, and I'm only 1.5 years in!

I just cleaned out the bottom rack (pants) of the closet, worked up the ambition to overcome my superstitions and actually gave a bunch of stuff away. We're going to be moving in a year or so anyway, so what's the point in keeping it? And wearing 'em I look like an eight year old in daddy's pants!

Hey all!
Funny that this thread is here - I was just dreaming about what I'll wear when I hit my goal weight. Beyond the obvious health component, looking good in clothes is up there as a motivator. Has anyone mentioned consignment shopping yet?
I work at a job where the dress code is business casual. Love to thrift and antique - do it for hours - but sometimes it's easier to shop if the process is a little more curated, especially if all you need is basic, work-appropriate attire. The last time I went to a consignment shop, I ended up with four sweaters for $30 - all major brands in very good shape. Just wanted to throw that out there as a resource. I know that when I lose the bulk of my weight, I will purge the entire closet. No sense keeping things around that I might grow back into :-)

You guys inspire me! I have the opposite problem. A few years ago, I lost about 18 lbs using Shangri La oilshots and went from mid 150's to mid 130's. I stayed there for several years so most of the clothes in my closet are for the 135-140 range. Then about 2 years ago, menopause hit with a vengeance and weight loss has been just about impossible since. So there sits 75% of my closet contents, just a bit too small, and I live in about three pairs of pants. All the rest are about 10 lbs out of my reach.
But I'm working on it!
