SCORE!!!!!!!!

On Saturday, I packed up my old clothes, because they're all so big they flap around now. Pants fit fine in the waistband because they're elastic, but in the legs and butt, they're baggy as can be, haha. So, I'm not done yet, because some clothes are still in the laundry, but so far I have 7 bags of clothes sitting in my floor.

On Sunday, I went to the Goodwill in Kernersville and was there when they opened the door at 1:00. Spent almost an hour and came out with a few pieces. Next stop: Goodwill on Penny Rd. in High Point. That's a nice Goodwill; it's new, and has a coffee bar inside. The clothes are arranged by color, which makes it easy to pick things - go to the plus size department, look at colors you like. :) Since most items are $3.75 or less, it's all a great deal. Man if I was still a 2x, I'd have had it made - there were SEVERAL long-sleeved linen Kim Rogers shirts and some other things too. I totally scored though, because I found a Bob Mackie piece in purple, my favorite color.

I have never cared a fig about clothing brands or designer labels, but I have to say I'm dressing better in that regard since I started shopping at Goodwill than I did ever in my life. I've scored Maggie Barnes, Bob Mackie, Kim Rogers, Liz Claiborne and others, all for $3.75 each and in excellent condition! ROCK ON!!!

Next stop after lunch was Carolina Thrift, on Wendover Ave. This is a thrift store, not affiliated with Goodwill that I can tell. They have their clothes tagged with a price, and sorted by size, so it's fairly easy to find the size you like. They also have clothes divided by TYPE - i.e. long pants, shorts, capris, short sleeve pullover, short sleeve button front, long sleeve pullover, etc. The only downside to this place is, it literally reeks. They have some water damage somewhere, and the place smells like a giant vat of soured laundry. :( Blech!

So, for <$60, I came home with 9 tops and 5 pair of pants! Can you say SCOOOOORRRRREEEE???
