Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Kathi's last email about shopping at Hot Topic got me thinking about where I'd go once I reach my goals and wondering what other stores are on people's minds. For me, it's always been Secret. I don't think I'll actually buy anything there, but just the idea of being able to go in, try something on, have it fit AND I look good in it...wow, powerfully motivating LOL. The other place is a mailorder catelog--Title 9 sports. They have such cool running shorts/swim clothes...ahh. I can't wait to wear shorts! Another thing about Kathi seeing her abs line and the rude sales lady made be think of this quote: " When God gives you a gift, s/he wraps it up in a problem. " I always liked that quote and it makes me think that maybe the rude sales lady just made that abs line all that much sweeter... Anyway, which store is your " goal " store?

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 My " Goal Store " is 's Secret. I see sooooo many pretty things in there that I would LOVE to be able to wear again! And I'm positive that my Sweetie would love it too!!! I would also like to just be able to go buy a pair of size 10 jeans again and wear a short crop top with them! I like that style.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 My vote goes for 5-7-9. Not that their stuff is so spectacular, though there are some cute dresses. But just the concept of the place bugs me. What, if you're bigger than a size 9 you can't wear cute sundresses? They might as well call it " No Fat Chicks " . I'd like to go in, try on one of everything and walk out without buying a darn thing. -- Amy Eatinger wrote: >Mine is Ann loft. I LOVE this store!

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Hmmm that's a tough one, Instead of 's secret we have La Senza or Silk & Satin, pretty much the same type of store. I would love to buy a bra that fits and has a pattern on it. With matching panties! LOL No more granny bras! hee hee I'd like to go into those fashion stores and not burst into tears in the change room. That's my goal. To just get clothes that fit and look good. Oh and a pair of Maynolo Blahniks? ~ or some fancy type of shoe.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Hot Topic used to be one of my favorite stores, but now my very favorite " fun shopping store " is Forever 21.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 As for my 'goal store'...I love the GAP and OLD NAVY...but with this pooch I have, I cannot wear the lo-rise stuff AT ALL...I need some HI RISE... My main goal, the first one anyway, is to get back into my ENGAGEMENT ring...I had to take it off in my 7th month of pregnancy, and my son is 18 months old now. My wedding bands fit b/c I had to buy a size larger than the engagement ring or wait for them to be ordered, and, well, I'm just not very patient, lol...I'd like to be back into it before my 29th b'day in October this year, or better yet, in September for our Disney trip. DH and I have decided that if we do the 1st challenge and stick to it, then we will do a 2nd challenge to end around Christmas and if we stick to THAT one, we both get new wardrobes! I'll probably get mine off eBay because I am a sucker for a bargain, but I can't wait to just have a SHOPPING SPREE...I still wear some of my maternity clothes b/c my 'old clothes' won't fit...I've bought a few things for basics, like solid tees and shorts and a couple pairs of jeans, but I would LOVE some little dresses and sleeveless tops like I used to wear all the time...*sigh*....GOOD MOTIVATION right?

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 I have vowed not to shop until I loose my " granny belly " also. s Secret, Old Navy, The Buckle...........I have 2 sisters-in- law that are young (21 & 19)both are in the Service (one Air Force, one Army).....anywwho....I went to watch the Army chick graduate from bootcamp around the end of March, and we went to some AWESOME stores in SC and they MADE me try on all these cute crop tops and low rise jeans like they wear, so now I am determined to be able to wear clothes like that so I can hang with them and look just as awesome as they do. Does that sound lame? I also want to get my BB pierced can't wait Have a great day!!!

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 I love ann taylor too.. I always window shop there, what a wonderful thing it will be to actually go in and buy something ! As it is.. I would just love to wear my jeans with a shirt tucked in Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 I don't think I have a favorite store (I love ANY store where I catch a bargain!) but I do have a few goals... 1. to see light between my thighs! I can now (I'm on my second challenge) but only when I'm wearing my lycra workout capris so that doesn't count. 2. to be able to wave and not have that loose stuff hanging down...I'm definitely improved in that area compared to where I started but it's still there. right now with the summer here it's a lot easier to stay motivated but I worry that once the cold weather hits again, I may not be as motivated. anyone else think that way? I'm thinking I'll do serious maintenance mode till mid january then do another challenge to get going for summer! steph > I love ann taylor too..

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 I actually shop at my favorite stores, (when I can afford it) but now I'm in a different size and looking at things. I never would have looked at. My favorite stores are Abercrombie & Fitch. Gap, Lucky and the Secret catalog. But when I reach my goals. I'm going to Exposure (a bathing suit store) And I will try things on and not cry because everything will look good) Bridgette > Kathi's last email about shopping at Hot Topic got me thinking about > where I'd go once I reach my goals and wondering what other stores > are on people's minds.
