I think it's a thrill to find Calvin Klein at the consignment shop I  
(used) to go to in Virginia. Those and Anne Taylor are the only thing  
that really fit me.

Finding used jeans is hard for me, because I want a real waist and  
straight legs, with no decoration, otherwise they rub under my chaps.

My 15 yo gets fab hand-me-downs from my sister's rich lesson kids, and  
then she hands them down to me. I got more gorgeous clothes last year  
like that than I ever bought. That was fun.
