I have tried to be good about reusing items rather than buying new. Recently, I hosted a clothing exchange with eight of my close friends (no children allowed!). We each brought clothing (and wine) that we no longer wear. After some delicious food and wine, we got started sorting the loot by type (shoes, bottoms, tops, outerwear, bags, earring, scarves) and then we dug-in selecting items that we would like to add to our clothing collection! I was thrilled with the two items I found -- a lovely black cardigan and a grey sweater. Everyone left with a few items that they loved (one with an almost brand-new pair of Dansko maryjanes!) and the rest is being donated to the Women's Community Building! It was a great evening and I can't wait till kids night -- we are going to exchange children's clothing and toys!
