Shopping as you lose weight!!!!!

Become a smart shopper as you shrink in size!!!!

Look into shopping at a thrift store and/or find a really nice consignment shop. In the beginning of my journey, I did buy a couple of shirts brand new...big mistake!! I was not able to wear those shirts for very long before they became too big. So I decided to start looking at the thrift store. Now I do take my time to look through the racks but I found that you can get some really nice clothes at an 80-90% discount.

I have bought Banana Rebublic slacks for work, several NY & Co skirts, seven brand jeans, lucky brand jeans and I can say I never paid more than $3.00 for each them. Now I recently bought two dresses still with tags on them for about $10.00 but those dresses retailed for about $60.00 to $80.00 each.

Seriously, you don't have to break your budget or bank account to look good. One other thing that has helped. I have confidence. Which is HUGE!!!!! I know if I was wearing a potato sack I would look good just in my confidence in who I am now. I am so much happier and healthier than I have been in 18 years!

Here are a few of the outfits that I have bought from the Thrift Stores! The last picture I bought off the clearance rack at Belk for $20.00.

Have Fun and Happy Shopping!!!!!
