Thank Goodness for People Who Give Away Clothes For Free

The title gives the gist of what I am gonna say here, but I will say it anyways. THANK GOODNESS for free clothes!

It became apparent almost immediately that knit leggings aren't easily repaired. I tried, people. I really did try. It just didn't work. So I was left with... one pair of jeans. It wasn't gonna happen. I was this close to caving and buying another pair of pants or leggings (one to wash, one to wear...  you know the drill) when my darling, fabulous, sporty, suddenly skinny aunt announced that she was having a yard sale and that I could go through her stack of clothes before she sold them. Score! So now I have my grey jeans, a pair of black leggings and a pair of black pants from Athleta. Its going to be possible after all.

However, there was one thing that I did end up having to buy. It turns out that not many people have a pair of size 10 gold flats that they could lend me for my brides... er... matron? (Is a brides-matron even a thing?) position in my brother's wedding on Sunday. Thrift stores were just as unhelpful, somehow. So now I am the not-so-proud owner of a pair of size 10 glittery, gold shoes that I will wear all of one time and never wear again. Not to mention a dress with an eerily similar description.

So, I'll need them till Sunday, but after that... anyone need some gold shoes?
