Consignment shop
I have been going to the consignment shop. Plato Closet, a lot lately.
Why???
Because I could not fit into my clothes anymore. They were all sizes zeros, ones and twos. It’s really sad to say goodbye to those clothes. They were the ones that I bought when I was still smoking.
Funny how smoking kept my weight down.
I love those clothes that I bought from Express, The Limited, Gap, and Abercrombie & Fitch. These are the few places I go to for my work clothes. They are a little expensive but they all have my kecik mayung (petite) sizes.
I could not believe I put on so much weight since I quit smoking 6 months ago. Cigarette smoking do increase metabolism. Sad to say I am now three sizes up.
The clothes I am not able to wear anymore goes to the consignment store. As long as they are not too old, they would accept them. Plus, they only accept branded lables. And since my weight is slowly going up, I thought why buy new when slightly use is fine? The clothes in this store are in very good condition. I bought four pairs of capris, 1 dress pants, 1 blouse, 2 shirts and 2 pairs of jeans for $70. Two of the capris and a pair of jeans were brand new with tags on.
This weekend, DB and I are going to the consignment store again. He has tons of shirts and jeans that he want to get rid of. If the store accepts them, I will have another shopping spree.
