A Woman's Right to Choose..... What to wear!

I went to the Salvation Army Store today. I don't get there much, mostly because.... well, I have five kids and I homeschool and I just don't have the time, and sometimes just not the inclination to take all five children with me to a store where I need time to browse. Generally, my shopping trips with all the kids are to Walmart or to Target with a list in hand. And then I try to make it through without forgetting anything or anyone or causing too much chaos.  But, today, I had to go to the Salvation Army store to get some Hawaiian shirts for a 60's party we're going to tomorrow night.  I would have loved to get some psychedelic halter maxi-dress and platform shoes, but... that just wasn't happening. The Beach Boys is about as close as I'm able to get.  Anyhow, so today was the day, since the boys were at Kingdom Kids (a 6-week after-school type program at my parents' church) and I could just take the girls with me.  Oh, I had fun. I found my Hawaiian shirts right away, so then I shopped a little. I found the cutest little brown jacket and several shirts to wear around the house, a couple shirts for Missie Lou, a pair of jeans for Bubba and a jacket for Missie Lou for next winter. All for $20. I was ecstatic. On Thursdays their kids' clothes are 75% off, too.  You know, I really don't mind buying used clothes. I like to have a choice in what to wear. Some people have the philosophy that they want quality clothes, but they're on a budget, so they buy a few good pieces of clothing and wear them all the time.  I'm the type of person who wants a lot of clothes. I like to have a broad variety to choose from. But, I am on a strict budget.  So, what is one to do? A lot of my clothes I do buy from Target, but you can get some good stuff at thrift stores if you're willing to look. Most of it is in decent shape. So, I was pretty excited about my finds today.
