used clothes..oh how i love thee!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE used clothing stores/thrift shops……..I always have..I even once had a summer job in highschool at a thrift shop…Buying cheap used clothes has got me through majorly with going down in sizes…and lately all the stuff I did buy I have given away to friends. Tonight thought I’d take a little trip to Salvation Army to buy some fall clothes..especially for work–I HATE wearing new clothes to work because 8/10 chances it will get stained with paint/playdough/bleach/ or food from messy children eating lol..daycare = MESS! Anyways bought a pair of 7 beige pants from Reitman’s AND a pair of light brown corduroy pants from the Gap…SIZE 6!!!!!!!!!! The lowest EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! I am truly shocked and thought I’d try them on for the hell of it..just to SEE and amazed that they fit!!!!!!!!! Also came out with a nice fall sweater AND a bookshelf!!! All of my purchases came to approx. $24.00! whoot whoot!!!

Weigh-in day tomorrow…I am not going to stress over it..I know I’ve done good eating wise all week long..exercise has been the very minimal..just too excited to be driving my car to walk anywhere..lol…I WILL join the gym this Saturday morning…Aquafit is at 11 am and I know that will be a great start to my day ( It’s also Sun, Mon & Wed night!!)

I woke up with a bad back this morning and I haven’t had that in a while…I used to have it a lot in the past probably from all the weight I was carrying around but this morning it was back..and it’s still all achy but oh well I’ll live!

Hope you don’t mind all the colors–Despite my back I am in a good mood and thought I would make things a little rainbowy for y’all….ok so I’m bored too!

Have a wonderful night and weekend chicklets!

    Man, I need to start shopping at second-hand stores. And how exciting about the size 6 pants!!!! Keep it up!

    yes i highly recommend it..can get some fabulous deals…some people are a little sketchy about cleanliness of it….if I find that a store is really unorganized/dirty with a lot of ‘junk’ on the hangers than I most likely will not go there..I find the value village here just TOO overwhelming/untidy but Salvation Army is always smelling so clean, organized and they have quality brand named clothes on the racks!

    I am sooooo with you on that! I LOVE to shop at thrift and second hand stores. I also love to go to garage sales in rich neighborhoods! ;)

    I can only dream about fitting in size 6 pants! I will be soooo happy when I can fit into A size 10! :)

    I am sorry to hear your back is bugging you. I hope that it stops soon.

    I hope that your weigh in goes well.
    Take care and have a great weekend!
