Cheap Buys

“I’ve got loads and loads of selections of money Daddy! But it’s your money!”
— Lucy’s logic for why we can go out

Thrift VillageSAM_1728

On this day of no labor I made time to hit Savers. They were having a “50% Off All Clothes” sale, so I made sure to head over by 9am so that I could scram before the place got too crowded.

It’s hard to believe, but I’ve actually been going to this particular Savers off and on for over 25 years! I shot the above pic on the left around 1984, when the store was still a Thrift Village. The top right pic was taken this morning.

It’s tough looking at jeans at other stores when I’m so accustomed to getting Levi’s for 5-6 bucks at Savers. And today’s sale made the deals that much better.

Below is a pic of today’s haul. If you click on the pic you’ll get a better view of the captions I added with details on pricing. I think I should be OK on jeans for a while!

cat shirts

Auntie Janie asked to see Lucy’s ever-growing collection of cat shirts, so I thought I would compile them here…here you go Auntie J!

There is another sparkly cat shirt with sequins on it, still digging for a photo of that one…

Lucy style

Our Miss Lucy definitely has her own style. She dresses herself (sometimes with a little help from Mommy or Daddy) and picks out what she is going to wear. Below are some recent examples of her bright, colorful, fun style.

She is well known (in family circles) for her hats, and other accessories like umbrellas, sunglasses, headbands, necklaces, purses and bags.  And if her outfit has a pocket, it’s perfect for beach rocks or small toys.

Part of her signature style is wearing her boots on opposite feet, and often pairing different boots or socks.  Sometimes she puts her dresses on backwards (easier to zip herself) or inside out…and invents new ways of wearing things.

A junior sartorialist? maybe…
