My mother always said it's not a bargain if you wont wear it.

My son got married in August. His fiancée wanted a fairly fancy wedding, but I didn’t want to buy an ultra fancy mother of the groom outfit that I would never wear again. In talking to my daughter in law’s mother she felt the same way. So the two of us bought simple tea length navy blue dresses that could be easily accessorized for the wedding. We both bought lovely shawls to go with the dresses and simple navy dress pumps. When the bride saw what we moms had decided to wear she decided to simplify her dress and those of the bridesmaids. The result was simple but elegant, and we all have lovely dresses that we can wear again for other occasions. People who attended the wedding and the luncheon commented on how classy we ladies all looked. The bridal planner took photos of us to show future brides that bridal, bridesmaid and mother clothes could easily worn again with different accessories. As a professional musician I made sure that I could comfortably play my cello in this dress so I can wear it to perform in. Buying this dress for the wedding turned out to be a very positive experience because it wasn’t a “one and done” purchase, and I have already worn it since then dressed down.

Luckily, most of the clothes I have regretted buying have come from a thrift shop that supports a food pantry. So if I only wear them once, hey at least the bit of money I spent helped feed a family! <br><br>Also, I spent $10 on a lovely dark blue and lace mother of the bride dress for my son's wedding. The floor length gown was beautiful. When I donated it back to the thrift shop, another woman bought it for her own son's wedding! How cool is that?!?

Those ugly clothes with your head plastered on top crack me up! 😂. I love your sense of humor and style, of course.

My hundreds of Poshmark and eBay listings are testimony to the fact that I tend to buy for the life I wish I had and for the weight I keep meaning to get back down to. 😭

I love your comment on how “cheap shouts, but quality whispers”. So perfect! As always, thank you for your insight.

The problem is that even when you spend more money on clothes, the quality is often just as bad....

I donated a dozen pieces to a thrift shop this past week. Every single one was something I had bought because it was on sale, and nothing was a WOW. Since watching your channel, I'm far more selective. Thank you!

I have a confession: I'm not French Chic and probably never will be, but your advice is universal, and it helps no matter what one's style is. And I second the beautiful, but comfortable, shoes. I've regretted every pair that I bought because they only pinched "a bit." It's never worth the blisters.

My rule about sale prices is: would I buy it at full price? If yes then I buy it but if it's a no then it's not a sale price for me.
