Trick of the trade with fluctuating weight:
Shop thrifty
I can't claim that I only thrift shop because my weight fluctuates (more accurately I try to lose weight, stop trying, try again and repeat for the last 9 years) I am simply a thrifty person by nature.
What is better than normal thrifting? Thrifty thrifting of course.
By this I mean: going to Thrift town when they have a clearance event or I have a coupon, going to Salvation Army on Wednesdays when clothing and select other items are half off, etc.
While being off for summer I decided to accompany my mom, the original thrifter, on her usual Wednesday trips. I came out VICTORIOUS!
The clothing items I found. |
*I also picked up a antique German beer stein, and a zen garden kit for the office. All for $20 dollars.
These dress shorts are a first for me, but for $2 I couldn't pass them up.
This drop waist olive top is a happy new addition to my wardrobe.
These capris were under $4 and brand new.
They will be nice to head back to work in, Texas weather
.
I had literally no casual capris that fit me, so these where right on time.
This Gap dress may be my favorite piece. Zipper side, navy with olive? Love!
