Congrats on the weight loss! And you had sugery on my birthday (awesome)! My immediate suggestion would be dresses they usually fit for a while. However based off your nickname I think you're a man so that wouldn't really work.

I wear work out pants often, ones I had pre-op are just now starting to fall off. So I bought some new ones that are tight and figure they will loosen up. I do admit they don't make me look the most put together.

Other than that I just keep buying clothes but it gets way too time consuming so I end up wearing more workout clothes.

Good luck with finding more clothes!

How about buying from Goodwill or another donation store that takes in clean nice clothes?

Congrats on losing so much!  I'm jealous :)

I have had a lot of success finding inexpensive clothes at sears warehouse at Islington and the 401 (other locations have similar prices).  tops for as little as 4.99 and pants for 7.99 which was even cheaper than value village and not used.  Even your local Sears store has a clearance section which should have some end of season stuff for less.

It sucks to spend money on clothes you can't wear for long but the alternative is that you either look sloppy or go naked.  LOL.
