I currently wear size L in Victoria Secret undies although I started with XL.
I went to Charlotte Russe with a friend of mine and bought some clothes that were on clearance. I felt uncomfortable though and wanted to just get out of there. Mall shopping isn't really for me.

My #1 favorite store is Papaya! I also love Charlotte Russe, Express, American Eagle (for jeans) and any and all Junior Sections in department stores like Nordstroms and Macy's...
Shopping in Juniors (at age 34) gives me a thrill like no other. There is nothing that feels better than being able to walk into any store and knowing they will have your size. Any store!
Banana Republic is way too expensive. Annoyingly so! :P

Jeeze it's been a while since I last posted. =P
Anyways, I can't wait to get back into my Hollister jeans. Mind you their largest size is an 11 (rolls eyes), I would LOVE to be able to get into a pair that was a single digit. Wishful thinking? Heck right now I'd be happy if I could wear my 11's and not look like a muffin in them! I shop at Hollister all the time and the majority of my wardrobe is from there, but I just have to get my jeans elsewhere (mostly American Eagle).

This isn't really the same, but right now I'd like to shop anywhere - I'm so close to my goal (13 lbs) that it doesn't make sense to buy anything new right now, but most of what I own is too loose and unflattering. GRRR.
I do want to buy some shirts from the Victoria's Secret catalog/website, which I don't think I could have done before, they're all so small and fitted. Oh, and I can probably fit into shirts in the juniors section of department stores now! For the longest time, even though I wore about a size 9 jeans, I couldn't squeeze my fat belly into even an XL shirt.

I just want to be able to walk into any store and have no issues finding clothes that fit. That will be nice

 This is sooo true! I am 45 now and today I went and bought a size 0 jeans (Vigoss skinny jeans) at Kohl's in the junior department. I am blown away at how far I've come, sizewise and style wise, LOL I wish they had more short lengths though, the petite department seemed small and old ladyish to me now and the junior department really didn't have alot of inseam variety.

H&M!!!!!!!!!! I can wear some things from there now, but for the most part, I just look and wish I could wear anything and everything. That is definitely where my first GOAL WEIGHT SHOPPING SPREE will be. I also love J. Crew and Mango, actually.... just knowing that I'd fit into anything would be a happy enough feeling.

One thing so awesome about being a "normal" weight is the versatility!
I have to confess, being a country gal, I have never heard of 1/2 the stores you girls have mentioned, so I have to rely on magazines and catalogues to know what is in fashion these days. I really don't like many of the new styles today and in my humble opinion think that "skinny" jeans only look really GOOD on skinny people Something about that painted on look reminds me off all the years of struggling with clothes that were too tight.
Today I wore an outfit to Church that I just figured up cost me $25. It was a combination of old, new, cheap and on sale, and I got so many compliments on it that I was getting embarrassed. It was a simple above the knees chocolate brown corduroy skirt, (local dress shop on sale $7.00) long brown boots I have had for YEARS from my old thinner days, a white poplin pintuck shirt, (JC Penney on sale 13.00) and a red cable knit double breasted sweater vest that was my Mothers who passed away 17 years ago....and pantyhose, ($5.00 new). Seriously, with all the compliments you would have thought I had spent $100's. That is the thrill *for me*. Getting great deals, at any store, that look good. The only thing I will spend "big money" on is shoes, purses, jewelry. (Things that are forgiving if I should happen to lose or gain a few pounds....which I am prone to do.)
