I "discovered" them after I had two major surgeries (cancer and quadruple by-pass) within in a couple of years and had gained about 55 pounds and it took me several years to take it off so buying clothes wasn't a lot of fun! After I outgrew them (both gaining and then losing weight) I would donate them to local charities and at least I felt I was helping others and it helped to keep me motivated.<br /><br />I think because of that I also became used to wearing things that are "practical" for work and ended up wearing jeans at home! While years ago I would have looked forward to buying something like "Edwardian finery" now I'm happy to think instead of clothes that are practical and can be used easily in different situations.<br /><br />My husband says it's because I'm now a "senior citizen" and I try to "blend in" with the mainstream (I guess that means my "hippy days" are in the past"!). <br /><br />Jeanne Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05111451097520221555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-78852435694899921452013-10-24T23:49:40.946-04:002013-10-24T23:49:40.946-04:00I think I would have done okay in Edwardian dress,...I think I would have done okay in Edwardian dress, it seems a bit better than some of the earlier clothing women wore. I don't usually look for clothes in thrift and resale shops, so I can't say I've had much luck lately.

The attire looks wonderful, but I'm thrilled to live in the time of blue jeans, sweatshirts, tank tops, and boots.<br /><br />I really hate shopping and don't spend much time in stores if I can help it. There are a couple good second hand stores that I could try if I had the patience for trying on clothes. :-)Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011542520602315103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-57389504313531734072013-10-24T19:58:31.292-04:002013-10-24T19:58:31.292-04:00No; I'm a contemporary girl.

Corsets! OMG! And an "s" shaped figure? Ick. But yes, I've had marvelous luck shopping at thrift and second hand stores for clothing, for myself and for my grandchildren. It's such fun 'cause it's like hunting for treasure! Sometimes I've found things with the tags still on and brand new. It takes time to imagine how something would work and fit and what you could do to it to make it perfect for yourself or someone else...but it can be done.
