After being overwt for so many years, I don't know how to dress really. I have

to start building a wardrobe now and want to do it right! Can anyone recommend the basics of a good wardrobe? I have always read about building on neutrals and basics but don't know how to begin! It is time after 60 lbs to get some new clothes but I still have a lot to lose. I need clothes that are business casual for work and also some casual clothes. I like it simple (example, white t shirts and blue jeans/khakis/ basic black pants etc) but I want some fun clothes too! My closet is a mess right now because I have mostly winter clothes that are TOO big. I have been wearing some of the old stuff that fits now, but I need to start again. I don't want a closet full of trendy stuff that is outdated next season but they will be too big anyway this time next year. Should I buy cheap/ trendy clothes and build a basic wardrobe later? I can still go to Lane Bryant and am probably an 18/20 now. Used to be a 26/28. Am going on a cruise in July to Alaska so I have to buy some stuff. Thanks for any help. This isn't the most important subject on earth compared to medical problems but it is a part of this new life too. Thanks!
