When you try them on and they fit you know that won't change when you launder them. To have the shrinkage already taken care of is a good thing. To shop in a 'regular' store is either a special treat or a terrible headache or disappointment (depending on current finances). Also, my quilting stash is largely based on the monthly 99-cent sale day purchases.

And they're all brands you'd find in high price stores. Just maybe a season or two behind. I could care less I like classic styles, so it always works. Your idea for covering the logo is brilliant. I am so going to do this. Thanks for sharing this great tip, Nancy!

To me the disorganization of rummage sale look really frustrate me. I do much better shopping sales at the brand stores I like --- Land's End or Talbots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-14660268337927574502015-11-02T13:31:27.562-07:002015-11-02T13:31:27.562-07:00I certainly do!

I dislike shopping for clothes so much, that I don't think I would have the patience to find the gems among the trash.
