Probably this past Spring. I bought a tee shirt that says Callahan Auto Parts, Sandusky, OH.

Kind of fun getting acknowledgment from others when they read it.

I bought 2 dresses last fall for a wedding and shower. Now my baby is engaged so I'll have to start looking for a mother of the bride dress and her wedding dress.

My clothes last a long time, I usually buy on sale. I live in comfy summer dresses and flip flops half the year. In the colder months I have about 3 pairs of pants and a few tops. I swear my one pair of jeans is going on 12 years old but they are comfy and still in great shape. Not sure how people wear out their clothes. I give mine to a local charity after about 20 years, lol.

I forgot I started this thread, lol.

Interesting to hear how people are handling their shopping these days.

My only priority is if it fits and is flattering, I'll buy it. I don't look for sales since I hate shopping.

I still have SmartWool socks from 2005. So they were worth the $15 price tag! Wore them all day, every day, back when I was working. We've always had Birkenstocks for house shoes.

I wish I could order stuff online but no way. I need to try it on and feel the texture. Oh well, no deliveries here anyway.

My sister shops exclusively at thrift stores, but it's too depressing an experience for me.

I purchased a pair of warm weather shoes this past winter to replace a pair I had for probably about 20 years (that I had kept replacing the soles on).

My last clothing purchase was two LaCoste polo shirts. $69.00 each. Prior to that some moccasin/slippers from LL Bean for $60.00.

I never realized you could totally replace the soles on shoes.

It depends on the type of shoe.
