I'm about halfway through my weight loss regimen. I've lost 25 lbs with, ideally, 20 more pounds to go. This is the first time I've lost this much weight. I'm down to my wedding weight, which feels great except for the fact that none of my clothes comfortably fit. The clothes that fit me at the start of the year are laughably big now. I can literally fit a pillow inside two of my blazers without stretching the button. The bride says that most of my shirts are HUGE.
I'm taking on new responsibilities at work come August, including a new director position. I can mostly get away with jeans, khakis, trousers, and the odd blazer and sport coat, but I will be meeting more frequently with vice-presidents and major donors, so I want to make sure I have some trousers and sport coats that look presentable.
My problem is that I'm halfway to my goal, but none of my clothes actually fit. What do you recommend? I found some great shirts at Goodwill last year, but even they are starting to be too big. Again, this is a GREAT problem to have, but it is still a problem. Brooks Brothers is having a great Independence Day sale, but I'm bashful buying clothes now if they won't fit in six months. My waist is not likely to shrink as much as my gut/chest.
That said, what would you emphasize with a midway wardrobe? Cheap but presentable? Wear clothes that are too big? Buy for the size I want to be? Other than things that won't change too much like shoes, socks, and ties, I'm stumped….
