So here's my report on our shopping spree yesterday.
As usual, I managed to spend Lynn's money without any problems. She bought a shirt and 4 skirts and, let me tell you, those skirts were an incredible bargain. They were marked down to $9.99 each PLUS they were having a "Buy One, Get One Free" sale so the 4 totaled a whopping $19.98. Do we know how to shop or what?
Although the prime motivation for this shopping excursion was to buy Elle a skirt and some nice black pants, she (now being a teen) just wasn't in the mood to like herself in anything but jeans and a sweatshirt so she came away empty-handed although I did buy her a black sweatshirt as a belated birthday gift.
Me? The practical side of me kicked in and so I decided to wait until I've lost some more weight before indulging in a new wardrobe. Besides...it will give me more time to go through that jam-packed closet of mine and dispose of all those articles of clothing I haven't worn in years. Doesn't that sound like a fun way to spend a glorious Sunday afternoon?

It's funny that you mention getting rid of the old. I've been working on cleaning out my closet for a month. I don't have the fortitude to do it all at once, so I make a pass every few days. I should be embarrassed by all the clothes i had and didn't need, but I'll get over it after I donate them to GoodWill.
I need to go through my stuff too. There will be a pick up this Thursday and I'm so not prepaired.
I need to go through my husband's stuff in his closet because he never throws anything away and it's starting to encroach on MY space.
That's where i draw the line and start tossing his stuff.
re: moving & stuff. I have never lived anywhere 18 years. And as an adult the 6 years we have lived in this current house is the longest we have ever been in one place.
FYI, the only reason that I was able to purchase those skirts, and top, (besides that they were practically giving them away) was because I had gone through my closet (quickly) on Friday afternoon, before Ten's piano lesson, and had already filled one garbage bag for donation. BTW, the skirts were actually $9.90 each with the buy one get one free, which actually brought them down to $4.95 each :~) p.s. I went and got the right size skirt this afternoon;~) Now I just have to go back to the store tomorrow and return the two duplicates.
Going thru old clothes is a good thing....as for the shopping trip....what about shoes and handbags, bling, hair doodads and makeup. I need to take you shopping next time in am in California.
Empress bee: Cleaning closets never sounds like fun to me. No wonder it never gets done.
Ms. Chica: I commend you on your method...at least it got you going! I wish I could say the same.
Renee: Maybe I need a pickup deadline to motivate me. Usually we take our donations to the thrift store when it piles so high it starts to fall over. Also...when I was young, I lived in the same place until we moved when I was nearly 16. I envied the kids who got to move...their lives always seemed so much more exciting than mine.
Meno: Hubby and I have separate closets and his is as neat and tidy as mine is overflowing and a mess.
Lynn: So when are you coming to help me clean out my closet?!?!!?!
Rosemary: So when are you coming to California to help me shop?!?!?!?
I hate cleaning closets! Luckily, mine is now almost empty. One of these days, I'm going to have to get Shelby to tackle hers. What a mess!
I need to go through stuff that I will never wear again and give it away. And I need fall/winter duds. Badly.
What a great deal on those skirts!
