Today I bought a new looking Brooks 346 (that’s what Brooks Brothers calls their casual line of clothing) navy tee. I already have a tee shirt in the same color in my closet, and since I don’t wear that one very often, I really didn’t need another. But one of the benefits of the secondhand wardrobe is that you can upgrade clothing for very little cash, and then donate the items that the new ones are replacing. The navy shirt that was already in my closet fits me well, but has a small flaw that bothers me, so for 75 cents (regular retail is $19.50), I now own one that’s perfect.  

Today I found a jacket that fits just right and cost four bucks. I’m not sure that I like it because it kinda reminds me of the UPS uniform, but in black instead of brown. I decided to go ahead and risk the four dollars. I’ll either love it, or if not, I’ll just donate it back.
