Used to be fat dress the thinner me!

So I lost a lot of weight in 2010 Chat Icon I am very proud of myself but am struggling to dress myself now. I wore alot of "frumpy" clothing when I was heavier. Now I can wear more stylish clothes. My husband won a trip through work to Mexico the first week in March. I need ALL new clothes as nothing summer I own fits. HELP!!!!

What can I wear on this trip. (I am a 37 year old mom of 3 Chat Icon ) I am thinking dresses, am I too old for shorts?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am 5'8" and about a size 10 now (and busty)

I love wearing dresses. They are comfy, easy to pack, look great on and can cover many sins. (though with all that weight loss you probably don't have too many sins left! Congrats! Chat Icon )

There is a catlog called Body Central that sells cheap but very cute summery things.
Check them out.


I also like Victoria's Secret- though they are a bit more pricey.

you are never "too old" for shorts... but if you don't feel comfortable, try bermuda shorts. they are very stylish and may make you feel more "your age". but, my sis is 40 and wears shorts and i never thought twice about it. i know how you feel though, bc i lost about 30lbs and last summer it took me a while to get comfortable dressing for my new body.
try victoria's secret online. i've always found them to have cute clothes, not too expensive and often flattering for a variety of body shapes.
