Never been so happy to be told I look terrible

OK - so most of my office clothes are now getting too big. Yesterday, 3 different people told me my outfit looked terrible because I both my top and pants were falling off!  I was really trying to hold out on new clothes but it looks like I am going to have to bite the bullet and shop. I sense a cross-border trip to Buffalo coming up - since the Canadian $ is stronger than the US I can get some bargains and help out the US ecomony!

This is a great weekend to do it!   JcPenny is having some awesome sales....go online and print $10 off coupons.   To avoid crowds, try Eastern Hills Mall in Williamsville over the Galleria.  There is a Marshall's right up the road (corner of Transit and Maple in Williamsville) as well as a TJ MAXX @ the corner of Transit and Main.   Also, a Steinmart on Transit.    Most Canadians flock to the Galleria, but the Easter Hills area is nice too.   There is a Bon-ton and Macy's at Eastern hills too.   Have fun!

Yes, indeed, JCP is the place to go...good sale prices, plus you get $10 off a purchase of $25 or more.

I also love shopping at our local Goodwill store. I wish I had discovered it sooner because I spent a lot of money on new skinnier clothes that I wasn't able to wear for very long.

Now, there's a sideways compliment for you: "You look awful! Get yourself some clothes that fit, for crying out loud!"

I don't know about you, but I've always thought if you have a pair of black, khakki, brown and denim pants or capris, and some mix and match tops of various colors, you are good for a while.  Depending on your climate, add in a couple of sweaters that mix up well or vests and you are good for even longer.  Enjoy your shopping spree!

Thanks for all the great replies. I am at the lake this weekend but have planned a day trip to Buffalo for the 31st and really appreciate the tips on where to shop. You are all the greatest
