Shopping

So does anyone else have issues trying to shop for new clothes? Now that spring is here I need to go out and buy new clothes. I am finding it very difficult now that I fit in regular sizes. Now that I have more options for clothing I am finding myself very overwhelmed!! I don't know what styles to wear, what sizes to try on... and I just find myself leaving the stores because of it all. How did you cope if you had the same issue? I am way too use to only having a few plus sizes to choose from and pick the one that fits the best!! I am now resolving to ordering some clothes online from jc penny and hopefully this will help me feel less overwhelmed. I figure I can try out a few styles and if there is stuff I don't like or the size is wrong, I can just return them. Any suggestions? Thanks, Sherri

Add a brand at a time. That's what I've done. I'll find a brand or store who's fit (size chart) I like and just run with that for a while, and when I feel like being a paper doll I'll go into a different store and try on blouses.. I use to hate trying on clothes, well I still do but now I'm just happy that I came fit into something at a regular store besides shoes and earings..ha ha

I'm not much of a shopper.--I never have been. I tend to buy classic styles and stick with brands that fit. Currently i am wearing Target's Cherokee, Lee jeans and shorts and Old Navy Medium tops. How about going with a friend, Mom or sister?

Thanks for the suggestions. I guess the other issue I have is I really don't have anyone to shop with.... I am new to MA.... and really don't have any close friends/family to go shopping with. I guess I will muddle through this and hopefully get more and more comfortable with this new shopping experience. Sherri

sherri i was totally overwhelmed and still get that way at times.....not only has my size changed dramatically but the shape of me changed dramatically so the styles that seemed to be better on me before no longer looks as good..... But now that I am trying different styles etc ..............i usally take a good day when i am not to busy....and go pick up a ton of things that I like or may think hmmmm i wonder if that would look good..........i take a few sizes in each item and I make sure i wear something easy to get in and out of ..............and try everything on and spend some time doing it... I am beginning to really LOVE TO SHOP AGAIN!!! GOOD LUCK GIRL!!!
