Reply #11: First of all, one has to be in the right mood. My best find of late was kind of funny.

My son had found piles of really high quality stuff. He even found a T shirt made from bamboo that is so-o-o soft. I did a double take when I looked at the label. I never knew of textiles made from bamboo.

His eye for quality is really quite astonishing.

Well I couldn't find squat and was a bit PMS-ed out and foolishly indulging "I'm not worthy" sort of idiocy as we headed for the cash register with his haul.

Then there was a rack of incoming stuff and some purple silk caught my eye.

I took one look and didn't even need to try it on. I knew it was a perfect fit.

I got a phenomenally gorgeous silk suit for next to nothing. There was a slight water mark near the collar but I always wear scarfs so though it didn't matter, the nice ladies at the store reduced it further.

I've no idea why people pay full price for anything but socks, hose, and underwear when it comes to clothing.

It's so crazy.
