    Default Got my winter/summer wardrobes switched around

    and I was making a mental note about how at least 50% of my recently replaced wardrobe is from the thrift stores. I've got some really nice clothes too. I'm sooooo excited I need 1 summer dressy dress and I think I'll be good to go. Oh, I want a new pair of flip flops too....but I don't buy shoes at the thrift stores...those and underwear..... .

    ~You made me wonder how much of my wardrobe is secondhand. There were only 3 items in there that I purchased (on sale!)from stores. The rest were thrift, hand-me-down, and clearance purchases. The priciest things I own are in my undie drawer(he-he!). I've been busy the last couple of day trying to pare down my stash of kids clothes. I have 6 totes of baby and toddler clothes. I'm really trying to get it down to 2 to keep in case we have another baby and 2 totes for the things the kids are growing into. It's harder than I thought with some of my ds clothes. I remember him as a cute little baby when I look at his clothes! I'm saving the ones that seemed to trigger that feeling and putting the rest in the yard sale.Wow. I'm rambling now; must be tired! Oh, I've been seeing really cute flip-flops at Walgreens. They're selling for $1-7 a pair.~

    i switched me and DS out over the weekend and Dh is working on his stuff. we still need to get him some more shorts and a few more t-shirts (hes 3.5 so nothing from last year fits) i already bought a few things at the consignment shop when i dropped off, and i could use some shirts and a casual skirt or 2.
