Lost weight and now don't know where to shop!

[DebbieFiderer]

I've always been big, but have lost almost 5 stone over the last year and need to buy some new clothes for winter. I don't want to spend to much as I am a) broke and b) planning on losing another 5 stone, so whatever I buy now won't fit me by spring.

In the past I have been quite limited in where I can shop as only certain places sell plus sizes, now I have more choice. Too much choice it seems!! I am 34, size 18 ish, wear uniform for work so no smart stuff needed, and live in jeans and tops/jumpers, nothing too 'trendy'. Any ideas on what I can find cheap clothes that will look good? I've seen some nice stuff in Sainsbury's, any other thoughts?

If it helps, I've been shopping in M&S and New Look, I like the Indigo range in M&S and the prices in New Look!

Congratulations on your weight loss, Debbie - that's fantastic!

As these clothes are just for a few months, would you consider charity shops? If you try the shops in "posher" areas, you'll find some lovely bargains!

Try H&M.

I've had a look around some charity shops, have never seen anything I would wear, mostly styles for 'older ladies' and not actually all that cheap. Will keep looking though. H&M is a good one, thanks, I've just discovered it for kids clothes too.
