Clothes Shopping

Ok, so I hate to shop for clothing. First, I'm cheap. How cheap, you ask? I don't like to pay $5 for something at the thrift store. Two of my all-time favorite thrift stores are almost across from each other on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston, SC, just off 526. Community Thrift is CHEAP - I could get clothes for the grands for 25-65 cents. Yup. And I could buy dresses for myself for $1.99. Name brand dresses, some designer, some with original tags still on them. Across the street and down the road - Goodwill Outlet. $1.49 for a POUND of clothes. Y'know, silk does not weigh much.
But cost is not the only reason. Have any of you considered the names of lines of clothing for women? SAG Harbor. Yeah, remind me where I'm headed...thanks. Faded Glory...am I that far gone?
I thought I was doing well a few years ago. I found a new line. Ok, it was Sears or Kmart - remember, for me, that's spending a lot on clothes. Bold Spirit! That's me! I'm not faded, or sagging - I am BOLD!!! Until the first time I washed it, that is. Tagless Tee. Some of the lettering peeled off after one wash. Alas, I was no longer Bold Spirit...I was...old Spirit. At least I wasn't old spi..t (until like the 3rd wash).
And Hal wonders why I get grouchy when I go shopping.
