I'm also down 100 lbs, and still losing.

I have tried thrifting without much success.

I've had a lot of luck at Costco. I'm currently wearing an elbow sleeve navy shirt that I got at Costco for $9 that I've gotten several compliments on recently.

I've also found a lot of clothes at Old Navy and then also online at Amazon.

Congrats on the weight loss! I went through a similar journey and found Old Navy and Target to have most of what I needed. Old Navy has lots of dresses at reasonable prices especially with sales. Target also has crewneck tees with some spandex that are perfect for wash and wear. They also maintain their shape.

Spanx has excellent pull on jeans that keep any loose abdominal skin tucked in and flat. I bought a tighter size, shimmied my way into them, and they’ve continued to look good after losing another 20lbs. Super comfortable for all day wear. I suggest a petite size based on your height.

Congrats OP! I would look at Old Navy first - lots of decent basics in many different sizes. Then, if you have the time and patience, try TJ Maxx in a nice suburb. You’ll have to dig through the racks but you can find some great stuff for a good price.

Banana Republic factory and j crew factory have good sales.

Thrift store or Poshmark. Cheaper for you, better for the environment. Poshmark will help you re-sell once you have dropped further weight.

Check out thredup.com or your local Buy Nothing group could be a resource too

Thrifting! I've lost about 75lbs and have about 25 to go but I finally have started to realize I can't wear my baggy stuff anymore. I went to unique and goodwill yesterday and got 3 dresses, 6 pants, shorts, and 4 shirts for about $100.

Yes to thrift stores and round out with staples from Uniqlo.

J crew factory.

+1 plus you can find past seasons of mall stores when quality was better. I primarily thrift jcrew/ann Taylor/banana or better brands and though you have to sift through a lot of SHEIN crap, it is much nicer quality than what is currently in stores. I do goodwill or Unique, but you could also go to Blossom & Buds or Current (in Arlington); unfortunately I’m not familiar with Maryland or DC thriftingn

If you are in the DC area, Value Village.

Old Navy, Quince, Uniqlo, Nordstrom Rack. Consider buying styles that will accommodate your size changes — shirts that will also look nice worn as tunics, sweaters that can go from being more fitted to oversized, things like that.

I’m applauding your accomplishments! Maybe buy a special bag or piece of jewelry, or something where size is not an issue too.

+1 If you have the time to do this, great idea. See also TJ Maxx/Marshall’s.
