Goodwill deals

Went to Goodwill today to help the little girls re-stock their dress-up bag.  We found a long belly-dancing scarf ($1.99) and two clip-on ties in pink and lavender  ($.99 each)  for when they want to be Prince Charming instead of Cinderella.  The ties were there because apparently a local tuxedo rental store brought in a huge amount of stuff -- tuxedos, vests, ties, shoes, etc.  So, if someone local needs a tux, they had better head on down to Goodwill and try some on. 
Also realized while I was there that everything I have on with the exception of socks and underwear is from Goodwill.  And, I am SUCH a fashion plate. 

Clothing Exchange

Last week, I went to a women's clothing exchange.  A few of us brought clothes that we did not want anymore and spread them all over an empty room in a friend's basement.  Then, we picked through and picked out clothes for ourselves.  It was fun and free.  I got new cargo pants in exchange for some Size 2 jeans that fit me once every 6 months or so when my weight is low enough for them.  I can fit my long johns under my new cargo pants too which seems to be very important this winter.  I picked up a few other things -- a sweater, long sleeved shirt and a cute little yellow camisole.  I still love having something new to wear, but it is great to do it this way -- no impact, no money, nothing to the landfill.
I hope someone out there is looking great in those Size 2s.
