Would it be dumb?

I got a catalog in the mail today that has some really cute clothes and reasonable prices, would it be dumb of me to buy some in smaller sizes for the summer already?  LOL    They have a special where I can buy now and not pay til May...I would love to do it, but hate not knowing what sizes to buy ya know?

just want opinions!  lol

I know how excited you are and man oh man there is nothing more exciting then to get some new spring and summer clothing but I personally would wait.  You will be so surprised at the size you will be in come summer.  I hardly buy anything anymore because it's such a waist of money.  I usually hit the goodwill or check out the clearance racks at Target.  My surgeons office also has a clothes exchange and I've been able to get several things from them.  Another thing that I have discovered on pants is I get jeans and capris that have draw strings so I can wear them longer.  If you just have the button/zip your out of them w/in a few weeks.   Usually if you post on the main board your in need of a particular size, someone is always willing to help you out.  I have been given some really nice clothing both from the main board and the IL board.  Matter of fact for the past two years I have been blessed w/ two different people sending me winter coats that they no longer could use.

Thanks everyone, I have decided to wait on the smaller sizes and buy some stuff I can use now!  LOL   They have such cute stuff and like I said it's pretty reasonably priced too.  It's a company called the Woman Within. 

I actually have some shorts and tops that are a size 14/16 that I bought on clearance a long time ago for a vacation and never got to that size.  I have held on to them and who knows maybe this year I will be able to fit in them by the summer, if not oh well.  If I am smaller than that, I will happily give them away!  lol

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend

Monica, I went shopping for my fall wardrobe last August.  I found 4 pairs of pants on the clearance rack for 9.99 each.  They didn't fit me then, but I bought them for the future.  I am so glad that I did because thats all that fits me right now. My opinion is, if you find a really good deal and the season is coming then buy a couple of things a size or two smaller.  I know that I won't be in that size for long, but for the price I'm happy if I only wear them twice.  In other words, is the price so good that you could chance giving them away without ever wearing them. I so totally want to shop for next winter.  The sales are so good.  I want some Christmas sweaters and a new coat.  I can't begin to guess what my size will be then, so I'm not buying that far in advance.   I hope this different perspective helps some. ~Michelle

ya know, I might buy one or two things, but it's so hard to say right now since I haven't even been approved yet.  The prices are good, anywhere between 9.99 and 19.99 for certain things. 

We shall see, right now I just ordered a couple of tops that I can use now and if they are too big in a couple of months I can always lounge in them right after surgery to be comfy too.
