Cheap Clothes

This week has been a heavy week for me so I have to have a little fun with this one.  Last night I was trying to lay out clothes for school today and Emma had no pants to wear.  Lexi still had a few good outfits for the week but I realized Emma’s winter clothes just weren’t stretching long enough between washes.

So off to Wal-Mart I went.  It was 9pm by this time and the store was not busy at all.  I put on my NKOTB music and headed for the clothes singing “Dirty Dancing” along with Donnie.  I may have turned red when a lady about my age spotted me lip-synching and head bopping holding up a pair of little girls’ jeans.   I still wonder who she thought I was listening to.  I had fun picking Emma three outfits out, picking up the most pink and sparkly stuff I could find that she would like.

I then headed to the ladies’ section hoping to extend my little jam session.  I haven’t bought clothes there in years, taking up Ann Taylor Loft as my clothing homebase.  It’s not the cheapest thing but things fit me so well there.  Well. I was so happy to find several great sweaters!  And oh my, I found this entire upper ensemble for less that $35 for all three pieces!  I feel like Oprah on her first visit ever to Wal-Mart shocked that places actually sell bras for $4.99!  It’s not like I’ve never shopped at Wal-Mart but maybe it’s been too long.

The cream undershirt was $8.  The very soft orange sweater was only $13 and the “leather” jacket was only $14.92!  I also got two more sweaters but maybe that will be another post.
