Frustrated with clothes

If I wear someathing that fits and looks good it's usually not extremely comfortable. I have lost almost 90 pounds in 1 year and I feel so much better, I just wish my clothes would reflect it a little more. I have to wear a larger size because of extra skin and then I look bigger than what I am but if I wear clothes that aren't stretchy that fit I want to rip them off within the first hour because I am uncomfortable. So frustrated, but I will take it over having those 90lbs back!!

Sometimes after losing weight quickly your body has to adjust and firm back up, you may want to start walking and joining a gym to firm up, my body looked weird too the first year and as got smaller I as able to work out more and my body finally firmed up without plastics, but you may want to look into plastics if you are not comfortable with your body...but BIG CONGRATS on the weight loss, great job!!

Spanx! I wear them daily, the Nordstroms Anniversary sale starts next month and they are only 19 a piece I wear the high waistband ones that go down to my calf's then I feel good in tight clothes.
Good luck

It's never good to feel so uncomfortable you want to rip your clothes off (might get arrested, depending on where you're hangin' out.) 

What you might need to do is work really hard to find some basic wardrobe staples. It's possible to find clothes that are comfy AND fit properly and are flattering.

Highlight your assets and downplay the less than wonderful spots. Choose fabrics that are breathable, lightweight with some 'give.'  I just bought a linen pantsuit last week.. It covers my tummy, but is comfy and looks good. The best part is the waist has a drawstring, so it will fit when I lose weight.  It's casual, but can be dressed up with jewelry and shoes.

3/4 length sleeve shirts can be paired with lots of things... capris, bermuda shorts, skirts, jeans...
There are a lot of jeans with spandex added, too, for extra comfort. Do a lot of scouting online. It's amazing what you can find.
