Much More Sanguine

Mar 16, 2009

The first words I heard today were about how I finally have clothes that fit and show how much I've lost. Sort of made my day, needless to say.

Shopping this weekend was a definite success. It was cold and nasty out so there weren't any yardsales. Instead we went to Goodwill, where my mom lucked up and found me a pair of slacks for under $4. We didn't stick around though because things were chaotic-- nothing was organized by size!

When we left there we hit Second Fling, which is a consignment store. OMG, did we luck up! Their nicest things are up front with jeans and slacks running around $10.50. My sis and I felt like that was a bit much to pay for things that may not fit in 2-4 weeks. So we headed to the "Rags to Riches" section in the back of the store. The price tags were all under $6 plus they were having a huge 50% sale! I got some nice black slacks for $1.25 and there's absolutely nothing wrong with them! Most of the stuff I picked up is brandname and all is in great condition. Wound up with 3-4 pairs of pants and 4 shirts-- all nice enough for work-- for a total of $29.09! I pretty much went through everything 16-18 and picked what I liked. So I'll still have some pants and tops I can wear once I drop another size.

I'm thrilled because I can finally look good for work. That along with the fact that I'll be able to afford more clothes when I need them. Actually enjoyed clothes shopping for the first time in my life, just because of the variety and prices!
