What am I waiting for? I don't know exactly...I am just waiting.
How did you decide it was time to buy new clothes? What did you buy?

I know what you mean about not wanting to stay your current size for too long, but here is my suggestion for you: Go try some stuff on. You don't have to buy, just go grab an armload and start trying stuff on. You will be amazed, I promise you. If your jeans are hanging off you, you will love having even one pair that fits and you can get a pair for like $30 (less if you get lucky at Goodwill).
So...I'm in 14 now and not planning to stay here long. However, I have to have work clothes and I was tired of my pants hanging off. So recently I have bought:
3 pairs pants (gray, black, brown)
2 cardigans (taupe and cramberry--I will be able to wear these for many months)
2 "mesh" tops (again, they are forgiving, can wear these even if my boobies shrink)
1 darling purple top with ruffles--will only get to enjoy this for a short time but I don't care cuz I love it.
1 pair of shoes in my normal size--they're a little too big but they're 11 and there is no half size to go down.
It kind of hurt to spend the money but I have to have things to wear to work! After I am safely down and out of the 14's, my plan is to donate the clothes either to Goodwill or the local women's clothing center that provides professional clothing to women who are re-entering the work force. That way I don't feel like I wasted the money.
