  1. In the fall I had the pleasure of fitting back into some clothes that
    last fit me 20 years ago. Okay, probably too dated, but plaids are back
    in style, and skirts that cover my knees are always a good idea, so:
    style schmyle.

    But this past week not only have I bought new clothes, but I got them on
    sale (yes!). Whereas the last time I shopped for trousers, there were
    none that fit me, this time the trousers I purchased are not even the
    largest size available. Woo, and yea verily, hoo.

    So this weekend, I went through my cupboards and sally-anned all the
    things that are too big for me anymore.

    Yay me.

    April.

    Sally-Ann is a nickname for the Salvation Army. So in other words, she
    bagged the stuff and gave it to the Salvation Army.
