We went and picked up the rest of the school uniform Madison needs for school. I lucked out and got about $150 worth of uniform stuff from the uniform exchange they had at the end of the school year. They are having another in August, and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to pick up what we were still missing. Then I figured the uniform store would have them on back order. I decided to head over and get what we needed for they were too picked over.
Before we went, I had already gotten her 2 jumpers, 2 shirts, a sweater, and a pair of pants. Yesterday, I got her 1 gym T-shirt, 1 pair of gym shorts, 1 gym sweatshirt, 1 pair of gym sweatpants, 2 shirts, and 2 headbands. I almost fell over when it rang up to $80! However, my mom informed me that school clothes probably would have costed me more.
My question to you is: How much are you spending on school clothes this year?

Even though my kids need clothes, I like some new shirts for myself. All of my more dressier T-shirts have shrunk from being washed a million times. Now, that I have birthday money, I plan on using it on myself and buying myself some shirts like that on the left. How often can you get plus size shirts for only $7.99?

Lands End Giveaway!
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008I love Lands End. They have some of most stylish clothes at a good price. They even have plus size items that look good, so they score 2 thumbs up in my book. I also love that they have a virtual model on their site. All you have to do is put in your height and weight (there are othere things you can customize too like eye shape and hair color). You then can pick up clothing to put on your model, and know how that looks on you. You can exchange out colors, sizes, and pretty much anything else you want. I could literally spend hours just playing with that.
