I totally agree that they need to carry men's clothes. Supposedly it's in the works, but it doesn't seem to be a priority. Anyway, you have a beautiful family. Happy Easter!

I don't know where they are located and I'm sure this varies depending on where you live (mid-Michigan here), but they always have my order shipped within a few hours. Then it arrives to me 2 business days later. So I can check out on Wednesday morning and have it on Friday. At the stuff really is in like new condition. Love It! (Thanks Dwija for the recommendation.

I just wish shipping weren't so expensive... I only ever want to buy one or two things and then I can't justify it because of the $9+ shipping - ridiculous! And YES to Twice selling kids' clothes, and men's clothing too! They must think that men won't shop online for clothes, but don't they realize that the WIVES will shop online for clothes for their husbands???Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888635342531960478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-85868059665319817232014-04-22T08:11:52.676-04:002014-04-22T08:11:52.676-04:00You all look adorable!!!You all look adorable!!!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09332944027749421229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-78776619706392774962014-04-22T06:07:26.118-04:002014-04-22T06:07:26.118-04:00My new dress was thin, and needed some sort of iro...My new dress was thin, and needed some sort of ironing/wrinkle release--we ironed mine on low, and it was totally fine.

I am being tutored as an adult so that I don't lose what I had and can make some more strides toward fluency. <br /><br />Also, I usually pose my enormous family of origin for photos because I'm bossy like that. The best advice is to scrunch together. Once you've got more than four people, it usually makes sense to layer it. So have a few people sit on chairs/bench, and then other people stand behind them. And get as close as everyone can. Then have the camera person be bossy about tilting your heads the right way, standing up straight, not hiding, etc. If you have "burst mode" on a camera, it is a great way to take 20 pictures in a few seconds, meaning you'll get one where everyone has their eyes open, maybe one where everyone is smiling. <br /><br />Post idea: talking about what it's like to grow as a parent as your kids grow up and stop being so little. For those of us knee-deep in babyland, it would be good to hear what advice you have. It seems like your kids are good to each other. :)FarmAndAwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456986046128250135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-41652086030668266692014-04-21T22:55:54.039-04:002014-04-21T22:55:54.039-04:00I must check out Twice!

(truth be told I have stumbled upon your blog in the past and always loved it, but now I'm an official follower) :) A few things: 1) I have never heard of Twice before, but I'm pretty sure I am going to love it! 2) I buy from Zulily all the time...I just can't resist it, especially when it comes to stuff for my little lady 3) My husband won't put anything in his back pocket either!!! Everything gets stuffed in the front!

(Obviously I'll put on a coat or something to walk the dog.) <br /><br />I LOVE Lands End for my (adult, female) clothes because their dresses usually have pockets and we all need pockets. I'll be patient and wait for sales and coupons. And structured knit shirts feel comfy but still look nice. And their sweaters somehow withstand someone's claws pawing at me so, you know, they're magic. <br /><br />My frustrated theory about the lack of mens' secondhand clothes (gleaned from working in theatre and trying to get thrifted costumes) is this : not only do they make mens' clothes with better quality but fashions change less frequently, lo, so men do not need to get new clothes as often, so they do not consign or thrift them. Also, sizing which makes sense? NOT FAIR. (I'm somewhere between an 8 and a 16 depending on the brand and style.)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325005380700159153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-6944996162830376992014-04-21T20:30:18.034-04:002014-04-21T20:30:18.034-04:00Your family gets more adorable every time I see a ...Your family gets more adorable every time I see a picture of them all together. And how do you look younger in every picture? Do you have a picture of yourself in the attic that is aging rapidly? Or do you have some occult secret that you are hiding so we will not throw you out of the Catholic club?<br /><br />I kind of wish that we had had Thredup and Twice when my daughters were in high school and had a clothing allowance. We would all have loved that.

At least give me garment measurements so that I can make a better choice when I purchase, and oh, by the way, STOP CATEGORIZING SIZE 12 IN THE XL SECTION. Whew, I feel better now. But, having said that, I've had much better luck on TU than on Twice in finding things for me and the kids, so I guess I shouldn't complain. At least they accept returns now; when I first started with them, they didn't. <br /><br />Also: second hand men's clothing is probably a no-go because at least in my limited experience, men wear them clothes till they fall off them and ain't nuthin' to do but junk em.

Before zulily I was a strictly thrift store shopper but that was when my parents lived a mile away from two amazing thrift stores. Up here in the sticks I don't so much want the castoffs of my country friends. No offense. I'm not THAT into style but really, I'd rather visit thrift stores closer to civilization.
