I never cared how fat I was...I live for clothes!!!
A lot depends on your body shape - a friend of mine gave me several pairs of her old jeans that were too big and they were way too tight in the legs and too big in the waist because she is more of an apple shape and I am more of an hourglass (which sounds more flattering than it is - small waist, giant hips).
Wrap dresses are generally flattering on everyone and they work well with weight loss as you can keep tying them tighter at least for a size or two down. Dark wash denim is another basic that looks good on everyone - but trying on jeans is a long and tedious process.
I know my sister is about your height and she said she tries to avoid long shirts because she says they make her look even shorter and she also said she's very picky about maxi/long dress as they can make her look shorter.
My advice would be to look online and try to figure out what your overall shape is and then get some idea of what kind of pieces would look best on you and then get the basics and build from there. Since your still losing, maybe try to go the cheaper/thrift shop route and try some different things.
Best of luck to you...I am absolutely drooling at the prospect of buying clothes in the regular section.
