My surgical center had a monthly meeting. About every four months, they had a clothing swap. It was very popular. Suggest something like that to your center.

I sold some designer clothing on eBay with great success. Plenty of money to pay for my Gwynnie Bee membership and buy some new (to me) stuff at thrift stores.  I have a gorgeous cashmere coat that I plan to take to a consignment store in the fall.  

Look into ThredUp.com as well.  Looks to be a decent option for many here.

congratulations on your losses! What an inspiration!

I'm struggling with this right now too. I don't have a lot of expensive name brand stuff but I have a lot of what I consider expensive work clothes. Some with tags still on because I don't have to go into the office that often so by the time I did I had lost too much weight to wear these. We don't have many consignment stores where I am. I just found one an hour away but they only take up to a size 20 which I will definitely look into but considering I'm barely in a 20 NOW that's not going to help with my bigger clothes lol.

I've been told ebay doesn't work for clothes a lot...I mean I don't have designer stuff. But I have stuff from Lane Bryant, Christopher & Banks, things like that. It's going to be so expensive to replace my entire wardrobe but so worth it!!

I work near downtown Sacramento and there is a Goodwill there that has all the high end, fancy stuff that the surrounding office workers donate.  I went a few weeks ago and bought a brand new pair of Chico's khakis with the LABELS STILL ON THEM for $13 whopping dollars!  I bough 5 pairs of pants and two pairs of shoes for $61.00.  Check out your downtown areas or higher end areas of town - that's where all the goodies are!

I gave a bunch to the daughter of my moms friend, who is recovering from cancer and down on her luck.  The rest I just took to goodwill, savers, etc.  I have bought a lot of my"new" clothes there too.  On Mondays its 30% off its 50% off on the holidays, and at Salvation Army, Wednesday's are family days, half off clothes. I hit clearance racks at stores.  I am the bargain shopper of clothes.lol
