Kim - could you try Freecycle? Offer clothes of a certain size, then REQUEST clothes of a certain size?

Might work...or if you are a member of a church or other group, do a swap of a few items!

Could save both sides a few bucks!

Did that already several times and jot JUNK. I gave away great clothes and got smelly (cigarettes or mildew) and stained junk. I was very disappointed to say the least.

Look, folks, I know how to save money better than most people here. I won't buy something unless its an abolute need AND a great price. I would not have bought my clothes this afternoon if I thought for one second that I could have found something cheaper or better. I was refusing to buy clothes til now because I tried to convince myself that my clothes were a-ok, but when mom says I look frumpy, it has to be pretty bad.... especially since mom likes things very loose to begin with.

Wasn't there a fashion phase many years back that didn't last at ALL - the Sack Dress?

It turned into the Shift Dress...

Maybe I confused it with the Balloon Dress... The skirt of it is DEFINITELY LOOSE! http://www.chinatowner.com/images/pr...80/32180_m.jpg

Congratulations on the weight loss. I wish I could say the same here!

Congrats on the pretty new clothes ... nothing like having something nice and new to wear to a new job. Just always makes you feel more confident!

Good luck, I know you will be great!

Hugs,
Kim
