I hit three places. The first was Goodwill. They were having a shirt sale; all shirts were $2. I got five tops for $10. All of them were designer labels that would easily be $30-60 originally.
Then, I went to Burke's Outlet which is in the same strip mall as Goodwill. They had a cute peasant top that was originally sold at Macy's for $39. I remember loving it when I spotted it, but couldn't really justify half a week's grocery budget on a single shirt. Burke's had it marked down to $9.99.
Last, I went to Cato which, other than Walmart, is the only other clothing store in my smallish home town. I got this neat black maxi skirt with a tie dyed dot on it. It was $20.
Super big congrats on all that weight loss! *twirls you around!* I see lots more fun clothes shopping trips in your future! (Way to go on thoses bargains you scored, that's my kind of shopping!!)
I had a lot of fun shopping, but I'm not much of a clothes horse; I tend to have a handful of good quality inter-mixable pieces that I wear to death.
And it was a pretty good score! I don't believe in paying full price for anything if I can get away with it. There's just such a massive markup that companies make to squeeze as much out of you. With a little extra work and patience, you can get things for less. It's one of the main reasons I turned into a coupon user.

It's the small victories that mean the most!
Don't I know it! It's easier to focus on the smaller, obtainable goals.
