I've recently lost 18lbs and hope to lose 15 to 20 more.
The problem is I now find myself between sizes. Most of the clothing I have bought recently now fits too big but my old clothes fit too small. Unless it's stretched out with my midsection.
My pants aren't so bad. I've picked up some deeply discounted pieces along the way. Most of them I will be able to continue to wear. I might have to have some of them taken in if possible. But there are no investment pieces so a lot of it is easily replacable.
My shirts is the problem. Large shirts feel huge now. They billow out at the sides and fit like a trash bag.
But medium shirts are way too tight on my gut.
My plan is to hold off on doing any serious shopping until I lose some more weight. But sometimes pieces are needed.
Am I better off to just shop thrift and clearance in the meantime?
Or are a few pieces OK to perhaps be slightly too large until they can be taken in?
I would hate to have shirts tailored only to need them to be taken in even more in a few months.
I'm certainly not buying a new suit anytime soon. I will make what I have work. In fact 2 suits I bought in May now fit terribly. Hopefully they can be salvaged by a good tailor. But until my goal weight and I decide on a place to maintain I see no point in taking them in.
Any help is appreciated?
