Life After Lane Bryant's

I agree...I find myself overwhelmed with all the choices sometimes. I'm still trying to find "my style" but I think I'm getting closer!

yes! i actually had to spend time googling and on pinterest trying to figure this stuff out and narrow it down.

Yes!! My "style" has been "this is what fit so I'm wearing it." So when I have all the new options, how do I want to dress this body??

I've just been crossing over into the non-plus section of the store and get excited when something fits, and have to ask myself if I want it because I would like to wear it or if I just want it because it fits?

I too am cheap. I have a drawer full of Lucky Brand jeans, but I haven't paid full price for a single pair. Marshall's/Ross/TJ Maxx are where I find them, usually for around $40. Sometimes I've struck gold at the Eddie Bauer clearance rack, but they're on the vanity sizing train, so make sure you try whatever you find on.

Believe it or not I found the best fitting jeans after I lost weight was Old Navy! They are not expensive...give them a try

I walked the mall and when I saw outfits I loved I walked in and announced I had lost over 200 pounds and didn't have a clue what to buy. They went nuts and I was in the changing room and they kept bringing me outfits to try. When they asked me my size I didn't know My husband was with me and it was the best time ever. They would bring the outfits and I would come out and my husband would give me or and as you can imagine he never gave me the Everyone was making a fuss and several ladies were bringing outfits and I could hear them talking saying OMG she lost 200 pounds. At that time it was new and of course I sucked it in. Now I just prefer to be me and not the girl that lost over 200 pounds.

We did this for several stores and as you guys have said, I didn't take home many things as it was overwhelming on what to buy. But I will never forget that day!

I am sure your husband loved that day too seeing you so happy and in all the new pretty clothes.

I had never heard of Ashley Steward Gwen! Well you have more choices now.... Overwhelmed is a good thing

I disagree. Overwhelmed is not a good thing at all. :/ And sometimes having more choices just leads to decision fatigue.

ROSS!! One just opened in our town, and I am IN LOVE!! I had to keep telling myself I didn't have to buy everything, they would get more! The salesgirl told me they get shipments 5 days a week...I am in so much trouble! Bought my first pretty/dressy dress there on opening day! LOL
