Question:
Buying clothes in advance?

I am planning on taking a cruise in October. Currently I am 4 months out and down 88#. My question is this..what should I do about clothes for the cruise? I'm not sure what size I'll be and in October it will be hard to come by summer clothes. Does anyone have any suggestions for buying in advance or ideas for shopping come september/october? Thanks for any ideas!    — Jaime H. (posted on July 15, 2003)

It's so hard to predict what you'll fit into that far in the future--I'd wait until it got a little closer, say September, then hit the outlet stores like Ross, Marshalls or TJ Maxx. They usually have seasonal clothes a little later than the regular dept. stores, and they're a lot cheaper to boot! Target is also a good source for end-of-season clearance items. Have fun cruising!
