WOW!! I took a look, too bad it is just sizes 10-32... I would looove to try out some different duds, just to see how they look before buying, even. This sounds like a good idea though, especially if you have to have a dressier office wardrobe and don't want to spend a pile of money on transition clothes.

Yoga pants!!!

Also, when I'm between sizes, I buy a few pieces from somewhere cheap like Big W or KMart, and sometimes Vinnie's or the Salvos.

I check out clearance racks definitely, I hardly buy anything not on clearance.

For me dresses seem to work well because if they start to get a little big I can put a stretchy belt on to tighten it up a bit and it works out for a little longer.

I also buy clothes in the next size down if I can get them for 5 bucks or less, its fun to try on randomly and see if they fit yet, as well as a motivator.

Im a thrift store LOVER, I usually only get one piece at a time because they dont have many good ones but it adds up.

I personally buy alot of plain colored shirts and dress them up with necklaces and scarfs. (white and black especially)

All in all, my goal is to spend less the $10 on one piece of clothing. My favorite places to get deals, are walmart, debs, target, yard sales, and goodwill!
