I went to my favorite consignment store today. A few other mothers were there too. The woman working at the store was sorting through a pile of newly donated clothing. She showed it to us- all brand new (with tags- never worn!) Lilly Pulitzer most of them appliqued outfits and dresses. But, I'm not talking about a few unused items. This was like a huge, HUGE stack of never worn Lilly Pulitzer!
The consignment store woman said that this particular woman, a young mother, loves buying designer clothing for her daughter, but buys too many clothes for her daughter to wear, so puts whatever is leftover in consignment.
The other mothers and I were like, "What??" I mean, to have that many clothes left over- I can only imagine how many other clothes she has! One of the other mothers jokingly said, "Does her husband know about this?" LOL.
Now I feel great about my recent splurges :D I only wish DH had been there (maybe I can work it into our dinner conversation, just to give him perspective).
