Within minutes of my posting yesterday’s post about my year of buying nothing new, my sister emailed me asking, “What about undies??”
Indeed.
You can always trust a sister to ask a question like that. It got the wheels turning.
What about the winter pyjamas I know I’ll need in five month’s time? What if something wears out and we really need it?
Surely we’re not buying second hand undies??
If we’re going to really do this, it looks like we need to get serious and think about how it’s going to work.
First stop: Underwear Drawer
Are you like me, in that you think you don’t have enough underwear every time you walk past a lingerie store brandishing sale signs? Do you ever buy underwear that’s in the wrong size because it was pretty and/or cheap? Yeah…. erm, me neither.
So, it turns out that my underwear drawer is fully stocked. You can breathe easy, Sis. No greying thrift store undies required.
But seriously, what do we do when the inevitable happens, you know, when my husband’s boxers get holes in them? How do I feel about him buying second hand undies? (surprisingly, not as bad as me doing it). Am I going to be sewing boxers out of old t-shirts?
Stay tuned, folks.
