If you're anything like me, you've got tons of wish lists awaiting you when you reach your goal. Where are you most excited to shop when you reach goal?
For me, I'm really excited to shop at my favorite stores - American Eagle and Charlotte Russe. I'm also looking forward to fitting properly into clothes from Forever 21 and Hollister (clearance only, I don't need to pay an arm and a leg for a pair of socks, jeez!). I have dreams about going shopping and actually buying what I want to buy from stores I love!
What kind of clothes are you looking forward to wearing? I've never been a fan of wearing basic long sleeve (form fitting) shirts, such as sweaters or henleys, but I want to wear them at goal!
I can't wait to be able to get panties at Victoria Secrets (I know they technically have some "bigger" sizes...but their big is pretty darn small on me!). I would also love to shop at Hollister and American Eagle and Banana Republic...
I'm probably most looking forward to wearing tanks and short sleeves. I haven't worn short sleeves in public in like three years!
Hmmm. I wanna get some low-rise jeans once my belly fat comes off. I feel like a grandma in my just-below-the-waist ones. And I want to get a curve-fitting top for once, not a thick sweater or something big and flowy. See, I can't wear thin, clingy fabrics because they accentuate how chubby I am round the middle... And I will finally get a swimsuit that I LIKE, and didn't just randomly buy because I couldn't stand looking at my half-dressed form in the mirror any longer!
I have a pair of designer jeans that I love...they make my butt look good (when at goal only)....I would wear it with a form fitting tshirt that is a bit long...this look makes my waist look very small so I look like I have an hourglass figure. However, the only caveat is that when I lose weight, my boobies get very tiny...right now, I'm a D, but when I'm slim, I'm a small B...completely unfair!!!!
ThickNPretty - have you tried various styles of Victoria's Secret underwear? I love their underwear and have been wearing them since I was 290 lbs.
For me, I hate shopping these days. Shopping used to be easy when I only had 1 or 2 stores to choose from. Shopping now is confusing, stressful and really something I want to avoid at all costs. I do most of my shopping online as I start to feel panicky when I go into a store.
You know, I shop at Forever 21 and I'm like a 14-16. And I wear their "normal" clothes, aka not plus-size. You can totally shop there, you don't need to be skinny. in fact, most of my wardrobe is from there.
Oh man, Charlotte Russe is at the top of my list. I LOVE almost everything in that store. American Eagle, too -- I never wear clingy sweaters because it accentuates my belly, but once I'm at goal I will love to be able to buy some!!
Sunflower - Nope, I've never been able to find one thing I like in the store (or online) that fits me Soon though! I just ordered something on clearance (they have GREAT clearance prices!) and I'm hoping it will fit
See...I wondered about VS stuff before because one of my girlfriends who was a little heavier than me had some panties from there, but every time I've gone in there, I've only seen sizes up to XL. I bought a pair once and they were SNUG and not flattering...I'm a panty girl, too, so if my panties don't look cute, I feel oogly.
I'm gonna check it out though for sure! Maybe it's just my local store that doesn't have the wider range of stuff....
Thicknpretty - Have you tried Aerie? It's by American Eagle, but it's basically a mix of Victoria Secret/Pink and sometimes the prices are much better and they are ALWAYS having good sales Charlotte Russe also has some good lingerie/under garments. My favorite bra right now is from Charlotte Russe and it was only $8.00!!!!

Charlotte Russe pants fit better than most anything else in the whole friggin' mall! I love that the place is so cheap! I also adore their jewelry. Here everything is 2 for $8. I love so many of my bangles and things from them!
I think I didn't answer that quite correctly. I would really like to shop at BCBG. I think their clothes are sooooo cute! I used to shop there and, in fact, I have a gorgeous dress in my close that I have only worn once in the short time when I was at my goal...I can't wait to wear it and I can't wait to go there and buy something subtly sexy!
One of my coworkers loves Charlotte Russe. I had never heard of it before...but now I see that it's pretty popular...I think I might check it out! It's funny because Charlotte Russe actually replaced the Lane Bryant in our mall (location wise, anyway...LB is never far away!)
