Default Re: Shop in Your Own Closet & Save Money

Some things can be 'defrumpified' I don't know how unfrumpy you want to go though. I have one frumpy tee that was ripped up the middle, I wear it tied up as a belly shirt (after I get the waist back!-kid is only one month). Other stuff can be tailored a mite bit, for a less frumpy look too.

And you can start ditching the frumpy stuff, sure you will have to do laundry more often, but it will be worth it everytime you look in the mirror and see the best of what you got.

Then start hinting around for gift cards instead of clothes, and hand me downs from someone with your body type. (or closer to it) I never turn my nose up at hand me downbs (fav pair of maternity pants was from a short girl with an apply figure, I am the opposite, you just can't tell), but by hinting for the stuff you might get others to notice what you really want.
