Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads.

Christopher and Banks (or CJ Banks) has some great jackets in lots of styles and colors...
Oh I love Christopher and Banks but I didn't even think of them. Thanks, Valerie!
Hi Colleen!
I am SO not the one to offer advice on this one! :-) But, I figure I can at least offer some sympathy.
Oddly enough, I have good luck shopping via QVC. You can shop by brand, which doesn't really do ME any good, haha, but if you are somewhat saavy, you might find something. You can also shop by size and color, which might help you more. When I really need that "disposable" item, I shop at Ross's. (If they don't have them there, Ross is essentially the overflow store for department over-stocks, etc.) Kind of like a TJ Maxx.
Good luck!!! And congratulations for needing smaller clothes!! What a good problem to have, even if is a problem, nonetheless!
C, congrats on your weight loss! I'm sure it's a great feeling.
I found a jean jacket with slimming seams at Kohl's. I love it and wear it often. It looks good with capris or khakis. I can wear it with jeans without looking like I'm wearing a Texas tuxedo. If you have a Kohl's near you, check them out or go online at kohls.com.
I like Kohl's too!:) So fun to be shopping for smaller clothes, Colleen!

Well, I guess I'm late, I was going to say Christopher and Banks or Kohls. LOL. I have a favorite jean jacket that I love to wear with khaki's that I got at Kohls. Crystal Miller is probably laughing because I wear it all the time. It has slimming sides. Who doesn't love that?
Congrats, C on the weight loss.
I checked Kohl's and got a sweater jacket I like a lot!
I'm a non-shopper that is always staring down an "occasion" deadline, standing in my closet wondering where, oh, where, I tossed that black turtleneck that was completely inappropriate for the LAST opportunity, but would be PERFECT for this one....so, I can empathize with you on that.
I don't know if you have one anywhere near, and this is probably a Northwest thing, but I love Coldwater Creek. They have really good tailoring, dressy AND casual sorts that can be interchangable, and they are time-less or age-less or whatever that term may be that says, "I'm not trying to be a teeny-bopper, but these aren't my mother's polyester double-knits, either."
Good luck! I don't like orange, either, but I'm loving the turquoise, this year. (Of course, where I live, that may have been two years ago in fashion...)
I just ordered online at Old Navy maternity (since there's no maternity around here - go figure). I wouldn't recommend maternity for you :) ... however ... I must comment and say I LOVE ORANGE!!! But I think I'm an autumn. You'll have to confirm it in a week!!! :) A WEEK!!! AHHHH!!!
Oh I have to check out coldwater creek! We have a store in Ft wayne. Thanks!
Jaime, I can't wait to hug you! And I'll check out your season. LOL
Have you looked at Ann Taylor Loft? Also Kohl's always has great clothes.
Good luck!
I was also going to say Coldwater Creek. Sometimes they have really good sales online, but you have to catch them righ ton time. They always sell out fast.
I have to second the recommendation of Christopher and Banks. Also, since I can't pass up a deal, I thought I'd let you know there's a $10 off a $20 purchase coupon available right now if you go here: http://cbk.rsys1.net/servlet/website/ResponseForm?JIrE9htIpgLK_3LsJhtL_VTTCTWVZE.2e.262.2eUTTFy.26.2eb.40.40f7beD9vf
Hope you find something great!
Good cuts usually cost money. Do you have a Nordstrom Rack? I can't believe how much thinner rich people get to look just by well-made clothing. That is SO wrong!
K. Think of where I live. We barely have a super Walmart let alone a Nordstrom Rack! LOL I wish we did though!
I'm in between two Nordstrom Racks. I guess we're understanding why I couldn't find success in Auburn, aren't we? Alcohol you can get anywhere, but you can't shop anywhere. Though Zappos did help once we got mail service.
I love Coldwater Creek. You can't beat it for jackets - they seem to have more styles on line. Today is the last day for 25% off, either online or at the store.
After 4 back surgeries, QVC remains a favorite with me. Just type in jacket, your size and preference. Just be sure to measure something that fits you well and be sure what you order has the same measurements (garment). Just a trick I learned over the past years :)
