Back so soon?

Back when Frances didn't whine about going to the zoo, I bought her this jacket at the VOA for $1.50. She was 3 1/2 and wore it all the time. Here she is, circa 2002.


Yesterday, Frances was looking for an alternative to her heavy winter jacket and found her beloved jacket in the back of our coat closet. "Can I wear this?" "Sure." Here she is, 7 years later. Think it was worth $1.50???

Keep it and see if it still fits when she's 18! Keep all her clothes - by the time she goes to college, they will be vintage fashion and you won't have to spring for a college wardrobe!

Does she KNOW it cost $1.50?

I loved that jacket. I wore it for years before parting with it. Glad it went to a good home.
snort, now they call smart shopping "cheap chic" and "ecofashion"...blah blah blah... We're bloody mavericks (snort) at reinventing cheapness.
Suddenly we're cool. But we always knew that.
