Hand me ups

Snow days are great opportunities to bond with your family. Instead of feeling cooped up it's a chance to play the Wii, pull out a board game and cook breakfast for dinner and rest. Hopefully the usual fare of sledding and skating happen naturally. Shoveling for most is the least liked chore, yet thankfully many men find this task rewarding. In between all the fun snow activities, it's prime clean out your closet time. I always have my kids do this, separating into piles clothes that need repair, clothes they will never wear that can be donated and clothes that just need to be put back on a hanger. You can really resurrect a wardrobe this way. "Shop your closet" is the rule of many frugal fashionistas. This year I shopped my teenagers closets. They had so many clothes that they themselves had purchased throughout the years from places like Forever 21 and Delia's that they didn't want anymore. As I went through their piles I was pleasantly surprised as to how some of this stuff fit me. I'm talking basics like jeans and sweaters. In fact you would have thought I just totally scored at the mall as I filled my closet with their stuff. I've always thought it a compliment if they wanted to borrow something of mine, meaning my clothes could possibly have some type of cool affect. But I never dreamed I would shop their closets. Whose lookin' cool now? Maybe they will want to borrow these things back some time.
