Time to Change My Appearance

grandmoon — Mon, 14 Oct 2013 23:55:20 GMT

I decided to clear out my wardrobe and donated the excess clothes to the place where I volunteer.

The lady who looks after the clothing donation came to me and said I thought that these might suit you.

They were most of the clothes I had donated.

I think that it is now time for a complete change in my wardrobe.

yep.. go for it... you will feel a million dollars once you make that change...

I think everyone should take a good look at who they are and what they wear every 5 years... and then make changes for the better.

I am home now with 3 new tops.

1 is apricot, 1 is peach and the other is blue.

These are not the normal colour I would have chosen.

Now I will wait to see if anyone comments.

Hope you have darker skin for those peach and apricot tops.

I am pale and look half dead in those colours

My skin is dark enough to wear these colours. Although I normally wear brighter colours.

Grandmoon, I have been known to buy back things I've donated to the OP shop, forgetting that I donated them in the first place. I guess my taste doesn't change much, but I feel so silly when I do that.

I have to clean out my wardrobe.

There are clothes in there that I bought 30 years ago and only wore two or three times.

Living on strict budgets, it is hard to get rid of good clothing that one has paid good money for in the first place. They all still fit me, but are way to outdated. Besides, there is not much available today that would suit an old lady.

Where is the crying emoticon?

Put them on eBay Lindt, that's what I do with the more expensive stuff I don't wear any more, give them 2 or 3 goes and if they don't sell, take them to the oppie. That's what I do, it's nice to get a little something back, besides, people love vintage.

Thank you Debra.

I will get some photos and try eBay selling first before I give them to the OP shop. Trouble with eBay selling is the ridiculous postage AP is charging now. Makes things more expensive than people are willing to pay. That's why I have not listed anything for a while anymore.

Well, most clothing is 500gm or under, so I buy 500gm satchels from the PO & they 're plastic keeping clothing safe , they cost $8 25 and a tracking number is also provided with those.

Thank you, debra.

I will take note of it and see how I go.
