Cheap old — and new — clothes



Out with the old ...

My colleague, Sarah Bradshaw, wrote a great story about the ins-and-outs of donating used clothing to local thrift shops and charities.

In the meantime, readers like me got some new ideas for places to shop for vintage threads like The Barn thrift shop in Pleasant Valley (pictured).

Check out Sarah's story here.

... and in with the new

I just got word that Steve & Barry's is opening a new location Thursday in the Kingston Plaza in Kingston.

The store, which touts itself as selling "high quality clothing for the entire family at astonishing low prices," features Sarah Jessica Parker's Bitten line.

Wow. Good news. Now I can cop a pari of Starbury's without driving to the city. This is the best new I've heard all day. You have been light a candle to light me bleak dark existence. You are easily the best blogger her not named Karate Granny.
