And I was trying to take pictures of it for you.
The bathroom mirror wasn’t working out too well.
So I enlisted help from my kids, who are famous for taking pictures when I’m not ready. 😉
Then Sonia decided to join me.
So, this is the best we could do. It’s a little blurry, and it doesn’t even really show my jeans.
I am reminded once again that I am much, much better at being on this side of the camera…
than I am at being on this side.
Anyways…my Aeropostale sweater and my Tilt jeans were both completely free. I got them from an event at our sister church which is kind of like a flea market except that everything is completely free, and that, I think, is completely wonderful.

That sounds like a great idea, Free Flea. Would you mind posting more details about it?

Sure...basically, the church has everyone bring clothes, shoes, and household items on a Friday night, volunteers sort the stuff, and then on Saturday, anyone is welcome to come and take whatever they want. All free! :)

My church does something similar...we call it a Storehouse. We have clothes and food. That outfit looks comfy :)

You are so cute!!
I haven't been to any clothing giveaways like that yet, even though I've seen a few pop up here and there. I should definitely check one out sometime. I do love Value Village though. At the rate kids grow, it doesn't make sense at all to spend a small fortune on clothing in the stores. I'm all for $2 pants that get outgrown and worn out in a matter of a couple of months! It doesn't hurt as much as $15+ items do, lol. And next to getting something for free, there is such a great feeling that comes with getting a completely "new-to-you" outfit for under $10. The Value Village near me is fantastic too. Lots of new-with-tags, name-brand pieces of clothing coming in all the time. I've never dressed better since I started shopping there! I heard a tip once. When shopping at Value Village, or any thrift store for that matter, pick one to go to that is in a more "upscale" neighborhood, or at least near one. These ones tend to have more almost-new and name brand things, if that matters to you :) I don't buy name-brand unless it's from Value Village, and even then I don't like to buy things that have the name-brand sprawled across the front. I don't like feeling like a walking billboard. So enough rambling from me! Love the pics, and love your blog. Because of you and your blog I am going to start baking, starting with bread today! So excited :)

Totally agree...the thrift stores in upscale neighborhoods do tend to have better stuff.
