I don't know what to get. I need practically everything. I have been dieting and exercising for about 3 months and have lost a lot of weight, but still am kinda chubby in my belly. I'm still working on it. I don't want to spend a ton of money since I'm still working on the weight but my "fat" clothes are too big. I don't know what's in style for a woman my age (37). I want casual and trendy, not old and stuffy. I do know this. Because of my big belly I CANNOT do the babydoll style shirts that are so cute now because they make me look pregnant when I'm not. I can't do knits or anything too clingy. I don't want polos or button down shirts because that's too stuffy for me, I'm more into casual stuff. HELP! Can you put together a cute outfit for me? Top, pants and shoes. I don't know what size I am now since I've lost so much, probably a women's size 12. Thanks!

Get some pairs of cute KNIT pants with elastic waists, and some tee-shirts and tank tops ... and to go with those, you'll want a few nice scarves, some 'chains' for your neck and wrists, and a nice pair of 'flat shoes' like 'tassel loafers' or slip-on 'athletic shoes' ... a nice blazer would 'dress you up' if you get one tee shirt with some 'sparkles' on it, and wear that with a scarf and your chains ... or you can 'dress down' and wear just the shirt and pants and either pair of shoes, and you'll look STUNNING wherever you go.

Congratulations! You've accomplished what most of us are hoping to do! Go on over to Chicos...they'll put together an outfit for you! Just buy a pair of pants and a couple tops to go with it. Wait until your belly goes down to purchase more. Chicos has lots of styles that stretch! That's the great news. You probably wear a size 1 1/2 or 2.

Since you are still losing weight you should just buy taketops so they don't make you look pregnant and you can fit in them even after you lose all the weight. After you have just buy blouses you think are cute. Buy swet pants or stretchy pants right now so you can grow into those too. Pick ones that you like so that you will want to wear them later. Then once you have lost the weight, buy jeans or pants that are confortable. I hope you like the advise I told you! Good luck shopping and losing weight! The clothes I told you are in style for your age. For shoes you should buy some high heels(if you feel confortable in them). Some tenies too. Maybe flip flops.

Old Navy & Target are great places to shop for cute clothes w/o spending a lot of money.
oldnavy.com carries women's sizes 1-20 & plus sizes - the difference is the cut & fit. This site also has a shop by outfit feature. Here's the current link: http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/category.do?cid=9170
Old Navy's brick & mortar stores will have your size. Use the store locator to find one near you. Use the website to get ideas.
This is a great way to get ideas for how to put things together.
Lucky magazine is a good style & shopping resource too.

I would highly recommend going to an outlet store, like JC Penney's or Cato... I love Cato... and just take your time trying stuff on until you find what YOU like and are comfortable in.
I recently and am still going through the same thing. I've lost weight and need clothes so instead of spending alot of money, I've just gotten to where I go to an outlet and get cute stuff for a fraction of the cost until I am finished losing weight.

this is just and idea. I would try on some of the babydoll tops that are not real flared. I think you might be surprised how flattering they are.
If you can go to Macy's tomorrow they have and additonal 50% off the clearance. I just bought a bunch of shirts and pants for $8-$10. The sale ends tomorrow though.
Congratulations!
