  I never buy clothes too small. You may lose weight in different places, or you may lose it and the clothes end up not working out right or being out of season, then it's just a waste of money. I'd just get a few things for now and put the leftover cash aside, and know that you can reward yourself later with an awesome shopping trip later.

  @magentawarped‌ thanks. I actually was gifted a huge gift coupon for a large departmental store that sells women's clothing hence it's a use or lose deal. Hence the dilemma :-) however see your point about fashion and fit etc.

  I would spend the money on clothes that fit you now and make you feel good now. Depending on the quality of the clothes, if you find things you love, they could maybe be altered if/when you lose the weight and need a smaller size. I agree with not buying clothes in a smaller size for all of the reasons @magentawarped mentioned.

  I agree with get what fits right now. But also treat yourself to some things where size won't matter/change- eg hand bags, shoes, statement necklaces

  I'm in the same in-between-sizes boat. I'm just buying what fits now and will have things taken in when I drop a few more pounds. I tend to spend more on the basics: pants , skirts, blazers and wear them for years, so it's worth it to me to spring for alterations.
