The clothes and shoes thread.

OMG, you are just going to have to trace the appropriate boxes.

That sounds like what I do even with all my stuff unpacked xD But less outfits actually. I just end up rewearing the same things all the time.

Fortunately, I am house bound Karen, can you imagine if I show up at work wearing the same thing every week?

Yes, you will look just like me 😜

I have a funeral to go to on Friday and can't even tell which box has my black dress,  this is a terrible nightmare.

Work uniforms would make thins simple but it's not for me...

Its like showing up and all your friends have the same outfit on. That just won't work...

It does save choosing.

I am such a skinflint...Ive been invited to this wedding of my brother and I have the dress but I didnt have a suitable bag in a light colour...Looking at prices of bags online they are almost the same price as the dress!

So off to the charity shop for me..

They had several light beige/cream bags and I got one that looks as if its never been used €4 ...

We would look like a Communist Chinese party meeting...

You and me both...

I have no qualms over charity shop purchases. Charity shops, car boot sales, ebay.... these are all viable places for me to shop.

I wish I could do that Annie. i need help...

Shopping at second hand stores is normal here. We have a big one that is government run the way it works is that if you have anything you cant use or need a house cleared you give them a call (small stuff you can drop off) they come round and collect it and then clean or test in the case of electrical good and put it for sale in one of their shops.

Working in the shops are people who would otherwise find employment difficult so people with mental disability, learning problems and some people with physical limitations because in this shop there is no stress about production rates or how much you sell or how many customers you help.

Last year they also upcycled products and so prevented 2,4 million tons of goods going to rubbish tips.
Ive bought everything from bags to books lamps to gravy boats there..

I have so much stuff, I am strictly working on the one in one out principle. It works most of the time.
