It's been quite awhile since we have been gifted a bag of hand me downs. Used to get them quite frequently when the little woman was small. As the kids grew the frequency became less and less. So we watch for lots of clothes on facebook sale pages and we shop Walmart. Keeping the clothing dollar low.
Now, me personally, I haven't gotten a bag of clothes since 1989 when Lucy gave me a bag of clothes that were her daughters. So imagine my surprise when I went to my friend Michael's house to pick up the red microwave that wasn't. She had this pile of tank tops on a chair that she was going to bag up and give to the goodwill. She asked if I wanted them instead and that saved her an errand. Yes, yes I did want them.
When the weather turned nicer I broke open that bag. There weren't just tank tops. There were many nice shirts and jackets. Whoohoo. Score. I have been wearing the shirts like crazy and feel good. Colors, prints, fabrics different than what I ever buy for myself. I pretty much only buy t-shirts and tanks that feel like t-shirts.
Seriously love hand me downs.
