Exciting news this week! My size 16 dress pants have suddenly become too roomy. Last week I wore skirts all week because the weather was so phenomenally beautiful. This week I went back to pants when it got a little cooler, and was surprised to find them sagging!
That's a great thing! I really have not done much clothes shopping since I've been dropping pounds, mostly because I've been so ridiculously blessed by gifts of clothes from friends (Stephanie, April, Alyssa and Kati, I can't thank you guys enough!). The few times I have gone, though, have been lots of fun as I have fit into sizes and styles that I never would've thought possible.
Over the summer, I will probably revert to wearing lots of skirts again, and I think most of the skirts I wore last year will still work this summer. But pants really do need to fit. So it sounds like soon I'll be shopping! The only thing is I don't exactly know where to shop for quality dress pants any more. I shopped almost exclusively at Lane Bryant for years, because their clothes fit my body type better and I no longer fit into anything they sell! I like Old Navy now for casual stuff (although the durability of their clothes is questionable), but not for professional clothes.
Anyone have suggestions for me? Where do you shop for professional clothes?
PS Today was a weigh day. I lost 3.5 pounds, which makes me only 1 pound away from my big goal!
OH MY GOSH! ONE POUND AWAY!!

: ) I think April should take you shopping... and I would like to tag along.
I think the best place for you for dress clothes is New York and Company. It's my fave place and they have sizes up to 16. It's owned by the same people who own Lane Bryant (I think) so styles are similar. It's by far, the best bang for your buck and the clothes last a long time. Let me know when you wanna go shopping....
