I have always been fortunate to be the recipient of hand-me-downs over the years. I love passing things on to other people in turn. My kids live in hand-me downs, and frankly, I’m glad that they can appreciate gently used clothing, shoes, and other things. I love going to Goodwill and finding high quality clothes (although they do not technically count as hand-me-downs, since I have to buy them) for a very low price.
The other day, a friend passed along a bag of hand-me-downs that someone had passed on to her. I had a lovely time trying on several articles of clothing that I would never buy, for various reasons (okay, leopard print just isn’t quite my thing!). It was like a one-woman fashion show. My ever-patient husband just watched, never voicing the thought that I knew was running through his mind: where are you going to store these clothes—your closet is already full!
Guilty! I guess I am going to have to pass along a few of my own hand-me-downs in order to make room for the newest ones! Anybody up for a few gently used clothes? :)
By the way, don’t forget that today is Mega Swagbucks Day! This month is Swagbucks’ fourth birthday and there are all kinds of special things going on over there. If you have not signed up for Swagbucks yet, get started now! You might want to check out the Braggable Bargains section – each day this month they are having a great sale on a different gift card in the Swag Store. These gift cards are great birthday, anniversary, and even “me time” presents. I love Swagbucks! Check it out here!
where is the braggable bargains section? I can't find it?
ReplyDeleteoh, and I love hand me downs too! :) and cleaning out my closet and passing down hand me downs to someone else that needs them too :) The only thing I don't like is when they wear the clothes I gave them and look better in them than I ever did - LOL! :)
