I, unfortunately, have turned into a clothes shopping addict :-). I
do need clothes, but not in the quantities I've been buying. It's
just so gratifying to try on clothes that fit and look good. But I've
had things that have gone into the Goodwill pile before I've ever worn
them, because they get too large fairly quickly.

I am fortunate to have expendable income sufficient to support this
addiction, but it's still wasteful, and I know I should wait until I'm
at a size I plan to maintain. And I don't have room for all my
clothes! I've kind of taken over the guest room with them. (I don't
mean just the closet, but piles on the bed and stuff.) I know DH
doesn't really approve of all this, but he doesn't ever criticize,
just sort of laughs at me a bit.

Chris (who just yesterday bought a winter coat (necessary, at least --
couldn't really wear a size 22 any more) and a boiled wool jacket at
Burlington Coat Factory and a jeans jacket and 3 sweaters at Old Navy)


Isn't it GREAT?! At a yardsale this morning I found an LL Bean microfleece
anorak (size small!) for fifty cents! It looks like a gift that was never
worn.

I have to do something about the piles of clothes or my husband is
threatening to buy one of those Wal-Mart wardrobe/dresser things :-/. This
is the first year ever I've put away clothes by season. (If he only knew!!)
