When I went to my 40th High School reunion a couple of weeks ago, I took my sister with me to pick out a dress to wear. I had taken a skirt and top, but decided I wanted something very fitting to my body. I tried on several dresses and she decided to go pick out some things for me. She brought back the dress I wore and when I looked at it I told her I couldn't wear it since it was a 4P. She said just try it on. I did and it fit like a glove - she told me it was the dress for me. Another girl in my class was there and told me how good it looked. It was sleeveless which I don't do and both said I needed to go sleeveless.
I think I paid around $35 for it. I also bought some sandals to go with it.

I have lots of tops, but do need to get some more pants and blue jeans.
Sounds like you got a great deal and got to look really hot for your reunion, too.

I still need sweaters and more work pants. So I'll be frequenting Goodwill again soon.
I found a tub of jeans, shorts/crops that I had no idea would fit. Thanks to Cricket/IN for those goodies. Best timing ive ever had is the post that she read re my post for clothes. Her fat clothes are my skinny clothes!!! My niece was going to be very close to her house that next weekend and it worked perfectly!!!
Headed out to find a cheap jacket at Macy's tonight hope the sales are good.
I take my clothes that don't fit to the thrift store but since I am only 4'11", I know it takes someone special to get the pants or else they can use them as capris.

After all of the suggestions yesterday to go to the thrift store for a few pairs of pants, I went last night.
Everything I bought still has tags on it, 1 Tommy Hilfiger shirt was originally $62

I bought 5 pairs of jeans (varying sizes to fit now and a few to shrink into), 1 bra, and 20 tops. . . . . . . . . . . yeah, I know, 20 tops is a little much, but that just covered all my clothes for Fall and Winter and I spent $86. . . which is amazing!!!!
Most of the clothes were brand name (Tommy Hilfiger, Ann Taylor, Lord & Taylor, Mudd, etc) and like I said, still had tags on them so I just couldn't NOT buy them! I knew if I didn't get them last night they would be gone, so I snagged them all.
I think I did great on my mini shopping spree!

LoL thanks, Price! I am excited about my new "loot". . . .Almost all of the tops I got are stretchy so I should have no problems wearing them now and even into next year.
They are mostly XL's but I got a few Larges that were just too cute to pass up. I like the materials I found because even if I lose another 20 pounds by Spring, they will still fit, look decent, and not be too loose.
I was planning ahead when I bought this stuff, which is how I ended up with so much of it and even bought varying sizes
