Hello,

OK, I know what it is like to go from a 32 to an 8......there are so many sizes in between...And it cost so much money, one week you will be one size and the next another....and with economy like it is....you just can't afford to keep buying clothes. 

I know you might not believe me...but this place has bargains galore....I still go there!!!  They have new (with the tags still attached) and gentle worn clothes.  I have also found "New" handbags and shoes (even for my big size 10 - 11 feet).  And they even have half price days!!!!  Yeah!

It is La Goodwill....better know as Goodwill.  We have one in Roswell on Alpharetta Hwy near Mansell, that is so busy they have to have police officers directing traffic most of the time.  I took a friend the other day she spent $100.00 and had bags of name brand clothes.  (she was so excited!!!)  There is one near Buchead on Buford Hwy it is a really good one.  

There are also vintage stores...better know as consignment stores all over! 

Check these places out.....you might be surprised and if you know of any good ones....share them with us!


Hugs,

Ginger

I check out Goodwill occassionally but can never find anything GOOD!  Maybe I need to check out the ones you listed!
I always spent a lot of money on clothes...but in the last 11 months...WHEW!  I dont even wanna think about it!
Worst part is...I might get to wear some of the things once or twice...and then it's too big!  Even at almost 11 months out...it's still happening!  So, I buy everything a little tighter than what I'm comfortable with....so I get to wear it at least TWICE!  hehe  I love it though...and wouldnt change a thing!


PS...Ginger, you're awesome!

I do remember what that was like....and I was .....well still am a "clothes horse"  I have brought so many boxes of clothes to our clothing exchanges and given them away....

I think it is because....I never could find anything cute before that looked good on me....now it is so easy to buy thing off the rack at any store...but even when I go to a department store...I am a clearance girl.....even better when it is clearances and marked down!  Yeah!  Love it!!!

If you ever need a shopping partner at the goodwill down the street call me.  I love....love...love to help people find clothes!!!!!

Hugs,

Ginger

PSSSS....I think you are awesome!!!!!
