Oooh, me, me!

I have a ton of clothes. I love thrifting and always say I'm going to get rid of X since I got X. . .and it never happens. I need to go through DD's 2T clothes too.

So for today: (I saw this thread earlier and was inspired)
20 things I never wear or are nursing/pregnancy unfriendly
3 things that DD never wore or I didn't like
_______________
23/2009

Now, as long as I don't think this mean I can go hit the thrift store. . .
