I've recently lost almost 30 pounds (and it'll be 35 before I'm done, hopefully within a few weeks). So, needless to say, nothing fits. I was about due for an overhaul anyway, because my style seemed to have morphed into sloppy-frumpy mom (i.e. mostly plain tees that sort of fit and whatever jeans I could find that would zip) and I refuse to go there again.

Hubby promised me a whole new wardrobe if I hit that 35 lbs. lost but I just don't know where to start (and I know we're fairly limited as far as budget goes). What types of pieces do I need to build a brand new wardrobe on?

I'm 5'10", a "rectangular inverted triangle" (as Angie put it) with a long rise. I'm a stay at home mom of young children. It'll be winter for awhile yet so I think I'll need to start there and do more as the seasons change. Oh, I do sew, so I can add more "fun" things that way.

Thanks!
