Oh, I am so there with you. My parents provided so, so little clothing when I was a kid and what there was was awful. There's nothing more disgusting than hand-me-down underwear. I went to work when I was 13, and almost every penny I was allowed to keep went toward clothing.
One of the greatest joys of my life is having a closet full of beautifully made, well-fitting clothes, and it's not because I'm a fashion plate.
I was with you on the reliable car yesterday, too, but didn't have time to say so! Thanks for helping me remember how grateful I am, too. :-)
