Thanks!  I'm almost 5'8" so I rarely have to get anything hemmed, luckily!

I have vowed to not buy anything "new" for a good while but I did find a really cute sweater at the Thrift Store.  I also got 2 pair of jeans and 2 pair of kackis so that will do me until I lose some more. 
My problem now is that my shoulders and chest have lost considerably and my arms have deflated somewhat but my tummy and arms are not letting me move to the next size down in shirts and the larger ones look like I could put someone in there with me.

Thrift and consignment stores count too!  Those are some of my favorite stores - that's one reason I have SO many clothes.  Can't pass up my fav jeans when they're only $4!!!!

Your tummy and arms will lose soon!  Then you'll move on down!!

Well money has been super tight, but luckily I have a friend that went from a 12 to a 4 recently (non surgical) and I went to see her this weekend and RACKED UP on some clothes!!!! So I've been wearing a new outfit everyday this week!
Tuesday was a super cute mod looking lime green with tiny white circles all over along with some chocolate colored pants.

Yesterday was a houndstooth jacket (and luckily I have 3.5 inch heals that match perfect!)

Today was a brown suedey looking jacket with a long black skirt and brown knee high boots!

And so many more to go!!!! YAY! That Gap Outlet find...how awesome is that!
And I was trying to envision Gina's outfit...sounds so fun!

Hehe - I went for a long walk today in what's a pretty tame outfit by my standards, but here in Cleveland, I realize it may have been rather shocking.  Got lots of stares!

It's too complicated to explain the outfit (and I don't have a pic) but it was kindof fun bringing some NYC flavor to Cleveland.  ;)

 Rosa, I always loved bringing a touch of "California" to Cleveland when my folks were still alive, so i totally get what you mean.

Cleveland got a taste of what fashion is really about then!  Good for you and it sounds like you had fun with it!

 Great idea for a weekly thread Jody!

I was just getting excited about fall because i actually got some new clothes and think I look great in them.  Then along comes 90 degrees in New Orleans and a huge heatwave here at home.  It's been in the high 80's, 90's daily.   So I'm scurrying to find clothes that still fit and aren't too hot.

I resisted buying any clothing in New orleans because I have enough at this size.

Its quite cool this morning.  It was 47 when I left for work, but yesterday it was 39 when I got up...

I have been able to pull out my winter sweaters already.  Mid October we're lucky to see 60 anymore.... 

You'll get to rock your new clothes soon!
