Dressing for weight loss plans

I've had a dilemna for a little while now.

I need new clothes for work. I'm getting involved in more meetings and events where I have to dress up (not ultra dressed up mind you, just not the casual gear I normally wear to work). Well, I've gained a little too much weight to be able to fit most of the clothes I wore the last time I needed to dress more professionally. But I just couldn't stand the idea of sinking money into clothes that I'm hoping will be too big by the end of the year.

And then, it hit me: Wrap Dresses!

Now, you may be saying, "Joy, of course the answer is 'wrap dresses.' How did you not see that immediately?" But it took me a few weeks to figure out. And so, I am on a buying spree of wrap dresses and drawstring-waist pants.

It's a simple thing: being able to dress better and feel better about myself without feeling like I'm giving in or giving up. I'm investigating other styles that will allow me to adjust the sizes slightly; I'm also exploring the cost and feasibility of having clothes taken in. The point is simply to allow myself to dress my body as it is now, but with a plan for the body I hope to have soon.
