Good for you for losing 60 lbs. I've lost about 30 myself and have many yet to go. Not everyone can wear low-rise jeans. Personally, I love them because I'm short-waisted.

I don't know how to dress myself because my shape has changed--I've always been fat, but I was always curvy before, I had a waist. Now my waist has vanished. And while I'm working on getting it back, if I can, I still have to wear clothes.

I also don't have a Talbot's/LeRedoute/Coldwater Creek/whatever budget. I'm lucky enough to have on my tush right now a fabulous pair of Talbot's jeans that fit me *exactly*, but they're hand-me-downs. My clothes budget is something like $30/mo.

I don't want to look like Aunt Bea. I would like to look, as I said, presentable.
