    Default What are you wearing?

    I've seen these posts before, but I always find it fun to hear what bargains other people are wearing. I KNOW we all shop thrift stores for great clothes!

    Gap Long & Lean jeans.... 5.99 Goodwill (retail 58.00, these fit me really well, I'm nearly 50 and get lots of compliments when I wear these :-)
    Gap brown cable sweater ...found on super sale for, maybe 10.00? (retail 60.00)

    This is actually a pretty expensive *outfit* for me!

    When I was at work, I had on a $4.00 pair of Gloria Vanderbilt jeans from the thrift store and a red shirt from WalMart that was about $10.00. Now that I am ready for bed, I have a t-shirt on that a friend gave me(too big, just the way I like sleep shirts!), a pair of sweat bought on clearance for $1.74 and a pair of slippers that were a Christmas gift last year!

    Seeing as I just got up...it's not impressive

    I'm wearing old PJ pants bought at Sam's Club about 4 yrs ago. I got two pair for $8.99 so I guess these ones cost $4.50-ish. I'm also wearing a free t-shirt I got when NY state first went smoke free. It's from the American Legacy Foundation.

    And because it's cold, I'm wearing a zip up hooded cardigan that I got for Christmas about 13 years ago. It's one of my favorites.

    Navy blue running pants $2.99 from JC Penny - originally $25 - on sale for $12.99 and I had a $10 off coupon. A T shirt that my brother brought back from Hawaii about 7 years ago - free.

    Right now I'm wearing my navy blue zip up hooded sweatshirt type bathrobe (from lands end) with the sleeves pushed up. So comfy.

    When I do get my butt in gear & take a shower I'll throw on some cropped sweat pants & a t shirt, I've got some cleaning on my mind today.
