This makes me so happy! Thanks for sharing, Mary!
I'm also going to include a link to Angie's blog and the post she put up several months ago when she received the first bandster care package that I ever sent. I love this post. :) I hope this motivates everyone to share their old clothes with other bandsters!
Update. . Angie just sent me this great photo of her wearing the dress! I thought it was so cute that I had to include it in this post.
In clothing-related news, I was thinking about what to pack for my trip to Palm Springs (CA) next weekend and realized that many of my summer dresses are too big! So, I took two of them to the tailor for quick alterations so that I can wear them on the trip. That should hold me over just fine.
*October 2009 Update*
I wanted to include some more links to others wearing clothing that I sent to them, so here goes. . . Here is. .
Mary in a pair of black pants from me!
Sarah sporting denim Gap capri pants, which she got via Amy, who got them from Angie, who got them from me! These may be the best-traveled pants of the bunch, so far!
Sarah getting ready to work out in some Adidas workout clothes that I sent to her
Jen looking fab in some jeans and a sweater from me, after our fun day together of shopping in my closet!
And -- one of my very favorites because this piece of clothing finally got to have a shining moment in a major accomplishment of physical fitness!! Here is Sarah, looking amazing doing her first ever 5K (!!) in an Adidas top that I sent to her.
I love it that so many of you are sharing your clothes with other bandsters, and that a few things I've sent out have made it to two or three people already. This really is such an incredible network of support and positivity, and the traveling clothes is just another aspect of that!
