Clothing

Just wondered if anyone ever shops at a good will store or other place where clothing is donated.  I had some great dresses and I have dropped some off at my local good will.  Its usually inexpensive there and I can see some of you have put a lot of money into some nice things.

I used to do much more shopping at our local Good Will stores than i've done recently.  Hoping there was amongst other things a great place to see what sizes  and styles fit me best  as i was finding my "own style".  Today it's so much easier......a few favorite skirts and tops and a nice outfit or two for special occasions.

 

Hugs,

I'm at the point where I am just replacing items now more than adding to my wardrobe.  I do shop at goodwill but am very fussy, as if its not what I am looking for or isn't in perfect shape I pass on things.  I will say I frequently find new items with tags still on them.   Good buys abound!

When I went full time last year I didn’t have any clothes, so that was my first stop. I ended up getting something like 20 pieces of clothing for less than 50 dollars. Without that I wouldn’t have been able to be full time. Since then I get a lot at target and old navy. And I still check in on all the consignment shops too. But a year in I feel like I have a good start to a useable wardrobe.

It's not often I shop in those type of shops for clothing but often look for other things that may take my fancy. I did buy a nice fleece in one recently though. It was just the colour I was looking for and in new condition.

Hi Ned, I have shopped at Good Will many times and have found some great skirts, dresses, jeans, tops and shorts. You have to look things over carefully.  I usually hold items up to me to make sure I’m close on size.  I buy my panties and bras in Kohl’s or the Hanes Bali discount store.  I don’t buy men’s clothing any more.

 

Good luck shopping.

      No problem!

      Old topic, but I gotta say my favorites are: "Stop hitting on minors" (doesn't work if you're holder tho) and "Sure as [squid] not you"

      Abigail, I think we will just leave the other posts where they are, and the discussion can start anew here.  It is possible to do what you ask, but would disrupt the flow of the discussion in the other thread, and would require more work than it's worth.   Carolyn Marie

      I am in too good a mood to earn my certificate today. I am sure something will happen that will put me on the path to earning it.

      It's likely most cis-women consider a fitting unnecessary "because they know what  they wear" and get used to the wrong size.  The instructions for what your size is are simple and why go to any further effort?  You measure your bandsize and you measure your max and subtract the two to get the needed info for the cup size.  Then you buy the same size for years until it hurts or something.

      Congratulations Lorelei! Yes, it is a powerful feeling to have the documents that say "you are you".

      Here is space for discussion on this, since the topic is large and could derail another thread SOMEBODY started.   Could some dear, sweet, kind Moderator pull everything related to this from the Voting for Trump thread and put it here?  I don't know if you can do that; I am the new girl on the block after all (blinks sweetly).

      I will have arrived when I have a b*tch certificate of my own.  I think someone called me one once.

      Good morning everyone,   It’s Thursday well as least I took my Thursday Medications as sorted out in my weekly dispensary caddy. Today’s coffee is Folgers Breakfast Blend served HOT, black and strong. My wife and I are going to explore the Western and Southern coasts of Saginaw Bay and hang out in Bay City, MI. today.    @Willowonce @Abigail Genevievepointed out the word usage in your post. I read it and laughed, enjoying the snarky tone of the comment. Since it was spelled correctly I thought maybe you meant for it to read just as you typed it. Then the kinder gentler me thought it would be better if I changed it. I’m not saying I corrected it, I just changed the severity of the sentence.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
