New clothes, even hand me downs are an adventure and fun. When I lost everything I owned except for one dress to a thief, I was happy for hand me downs and grateful to the givers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051113577658386956.post-5089491884455857072009-04-30T19:41:00.000-07:002009-04-30T19:41:00.000-07:00I hear ya!

One outfit I thought was particularly sleek consisted of two sheath dresses and a matching duster. One sheath (black and white) had irregular leopard spots, and the other was solid black. The duster was black and the lining matched the black and white dress. I was in high school when I got this one. I also got one that was a white, sleeveless dress with a fitted bodice and a full, flowing skirt. My grandmother was a very good seamstress, so these dresses were altered to fit me precisely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051113577658386956.post-45710888450979739132008-11-03T09:16:00.000-08:002008-11-03T09:16:00.000-08:00Here here.

As the youngest of seven I obviously wore a lot of hand-me-downs which I treasured because, like your daughter, I idolized my older siblings (and coveted some of their clothes!). My mom would take us to St. Vincent de Paul and basically let us get whatever we wanted because it was so cheap. EMILY's List endorsed Betsy Markey, Musgrave's challenger, very early, and Betsy's campaign manager is a former colleague -- so I've been watching this race in a professional capacity for months. Now the personal has become political! It's time for Musgrave to go.Jeanne Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903754536318722941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051113577658386956.post-29525873146857914152008-11-03T08:42:00.000-08:002008-11-03T08:42:00.000-08:00As my parents handed down clothing, a permanent ma...As my parents handed down clothing, a permanent marker "dot" was added to the clothing label, enabling the item to be better sorted by child. Of course, I got the most dots. Perhaps this is where I (in particular) became indoctrinated to the widespread male attribute of wearing underwear until it was a thread. The rest of my male counterparts have apparently gained this skill independently. I love being ahead of the curve.Cool Threadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958856669420764025noreply@blogger.com
