Not really related but a few months ago, I went on a shopping spree because I needed clothes. I can fit in J. Crew clothes, but when I walked in there, one of the tiny sales associates looked at me like I had 2 heads. I'll never shop there.
On the other end of the spectrum, Black House White Market was so awesome!! I love that store and the sales associates were so friendly.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience. That would put me off, too. I have a soft spot for JCrew because it is so high school for me. I went to boarding school in a small town and there was NOWHERE to shop. JCrew was very popular because back then there weren't terribly expensive and they had a lot of basics mixed in with some more current stuff. A lot has changed!
I want to go on a mini-shopping spree as soon as I hit goal! Dark wash skinny jeans and pretty dresses! I would particularly like a sleeveless dress... my arms are my least favourite part of myself and I can't wait for them to shrink a bit! And I definitely want the experience of going into a "normal" store to buy all of this!
I love everyone's ideas! When I hit goal I'm going to buy a really nice, cute, pricy, flattering swimsuit. Last summer was the first summer in probably 7 years that I bought/wore a swimsuit and I refused to spend a lot if it wasn't going to fit me for another summer. I would love a really nice one though! I saw a cute polka dot ruched pin up style one that might be a winner.
1. A new tattoo on my back, fairly large (hence not getting it while fat)
2. I want to buy a t-shirt for my favorite band. They don't make them large enough in ladies sizes and men's are cut all wrong for boobies.
First would definatly be some sexy lingerie and a great swimming suit. I told my husband as soon as I hit my goal weight we are going back to Mexico so I can rock the bikini at the ocean! So the next thing would be a week long vacation in Riveria Maya. Gosh just thinking about it is enough to make me want to hit the gym!
Spa day, freshly done hair, a full outfit from Anthropologie, an adorable 50s style bathing suit for the summer, a pair of Irregular Choice heels and a decadent perfume.

I will hopefully be able to reach my weight loss goal just in time for summer. My first purchase will be a two piece bikini (with no cover up)!!! Just the thought seems so far off now but im keeping a positive outlook to my this goal a reality
May I just say WAIT on the jeans. I bought 2 pairs of 7 jeans upon hitting goal and they're now too big! My body has kept shrinking in inches over the last few months and I'm so pissed I spent all that money on jeans that I can barely wear! I always have to dry them to shrink them which is making them fade. I'm also now contemplating 10 more lbs, but honestly the thought of not being able to wear those jeans at all, is making me give it a second thought!
have a tailor fix them for you...my mom is a seamstress. when i lost weight a while ago, she would take them in at the waist and hip at the seam, so i wouldn't have to keep buying jeans. my size 22's lasted till i was an 18
my mother is also a really good seamstress, so if you spent good money on them, look into a good one in your area who would be able to adjust them for you
if they're TOO big, it might not look right, but it really depends on the jeans, and how they're stitched..
when i get to goal, i want to get some professional pics taken, with me looking like a pin-up girl...and i want a new tattoo to "mark" the occasion of goal!

For a couple of years now, I have dreamed of buying a Betsey Johnson dress once I reach goal.
I have no idea where I would wear a dress like that....lol, but I told my best friend about my weird fascination and she said that if I can lose the weight, she will buy one for me.
Mostly, I want to be comfortable showing my legs. I have been self conscious about my legs since I can remember, so the idea of wearing a dress or skirt that shows them off sounds really liberating.
ps - edit - I just realized how that sounded- LOL - so to clarify - pretty, not Walmart, servicable, blah underwear. And a new pair of heels because I won't be afraid of falling or twisting an ankle- I don't wear any heels now because of that!

I haven't really got any plans for making goal, but I plan to shop in a NORMAL store the first chance I get. Anthropologie, J.Crew, and Boden are all high on my list.
Me too! To not have to buy in the women's section - even if it's at TJMaxx or Marshalls will feel so great!
But what will be the first thing I'll buy at goal? Something very sexy to go out with with my husband.
