Now I indulge in retail therapy at a safer place, the Salvation Army. I went today at lunch and made a major score. It's an Armani sweater made from superfine alpaca, merino and polyamide (a fiber I'm not familiar with but it sounds chemical engineer-y. Quick research indicates it's probably nylon.). The sweater is super comfortable. It's boyfriend sweater-sized and will go perfectly with jeans.
I got so excited about it, I decided to splurge and pay full price. $3.99
Wa-hoo! SCORE!! Could one of the dogs take a picture of you modeling it, please?
ReplyDeleteWe have a resale clothing shop which is part of our wonderful recycling center. (For a small town, we are blessed with having such a convenient place to dispose of almost everything without polluting the environment.) A gal who used to work for us when we had the restaurant was ALWAYS dressed as if she just stepped off a fashion runway. I could have dropped my teeth when she told me she got 95% of her clothes at the recycling store! Just shows to go ya!
SCORE!!!
ReplyDeleteI love thrifting. So much fun when you find something like new and it fits! My husband thinks I'm funny. He says I bring things to the thrift shop and then I buy more and bring things home. It's good, clean, cheap fun!
ReplyDeleteI've loved shopping ever since I can remember. To get the good scores, it helps to know your brands: George = Walmart, Charter Club = Macys, St Johns Bay = JC Penny, etc, etc. That way you don't end up spending $4 for a shirt that was only $9 to start with!
ReplyDeleteI exchange clothes too! It's much harder to give away something I paid full price for, but the Salvation Army stuff - if it's not in the regular wearing rotation, back to the store it goes!
