NBR: Clothing

DH and I are heading to the beach in a week.  I have been avoiding buying clothes like the plague because I am still about 25 lbs from where I want to be (despite dieting and exercising).  Since we are going on vacation, I need to buy some clothes.  Pre-pregnancy I was a size 6.  Now I am I size 10 and it is depressing!!! I really want some tasteful things to wear for the summer.  Suggestions???

Maxi dress! I find them very flattering and you can accessorize the heck out of them. Flip flops for the beach, wedges for nighttime. Add a belt. Add some chunky jewelry. Add a wide brimmed hat. Plus they are flowy and cool in warm weather.

I think Maxi dresses will work so long as you aren't super hippy (like me). I'm in the same boat as you (was a 6, now a tight 8, loose 10). I started Weight Watchers two weeks ago and already lost 5lbs. I have made an effort to not buy too much as I want to fit back into all of my old clothes not fit into new large ones.

Don't overthink it. If you're going to the beach you'll probably be in a bathing suit and cover ups for most of the day. Are you going out at night? I'd bring one or two flowy nice dresses...Go with empire waist type that will be comfy. I ALWAYS overpack so I know that you won't need half of what you think you need.
