A few people have mentioned I could get my clothes altered. I talked with a good friend of mine who went from 198 to 148. She said she didn't even bother with getting clothes altered because it was costly, and she was happy about getting new clothes in a new size. I don't plan on getting any of my clothes altered (although I have a wonderful aunt that's a seamstress). I really do love some of the suits that I have, and the ones that I still wear, I just put a big ole safety pin in the waist (starting to look a little ridiculous now). Using a safety pin is my idea of altering.
I'm actually looking forward to a new wardrobe (in a much smaller size). I know I will be able to find someone to give my suits to. Hmph. I may even be able to give them away to a nice lady here.
So, did you get your clothes altered or buy new clothes?
I know I need to get a few new basic pieces for work real soon (like this coming weekend).
