I went shopping last week for some new summer clothes for the kids at the best store ever - Once Upon a Child. I got so many nice used clothes for them - mostly name brand - and they are set. All for $91 - two kids, lots of clothes. I heard about another place for adults called Plato's Closet - an offshoot of Once Upon a Child - so I went to check it out today. I was disappointed to find that it really was a store that just started where Once Upon a Child left off - age 14! Expecting to find used office attire, instead I found Abercrombie, Old Navy, Wet Seal, Hollister, etc. Surely, I thought, the business casual is just in the back. Those are nice brands, yes - for my college self. Let's face it, I'm pushing 30!! As I pushed past hoards of teenagers (this is spring break week) I finally realized that I was in the wrong place :( Sure, there may be a gem or two in there, but much to my chagrin no New York and Company that's for sure! TJ Max, yardsales, Walmart, Target - you havent lost me yet. Yes, you too New York and Company (I have to splurge every now and then)!
