What is your favorite item of clothing?

14 years ago

I have found the best nighties in the world. I have bought 4 sleeveless and 3 with elbow-length sleeves. They are DKNY and are the softest, floppy modal. They are long enough to wear by themselves and - my favorite part - they have pockets!

The one I have linked to is black, mine are in other colors, but you get the picture.

My favorite has to be my old flannel shirts I wear In winter. Next would be sweatshirts and pants! I don't get fancy very often.

Favorite item is the full length mink coat first DH gave me for Christmas, about 30 years ago.

But since you mentioned nighties...for years, I have been addicted to the Victoria Secret Signature nightshirts. They're so comfortable, come to just the knee, with long sleeves for winter.

what is your favorite and was your favorite candy

I guess Godiva Chocolates are my favorite candy for the occasional chocolate fix. Sees Candy has gone way downhill too except for a few classic items. Their stores are full of candy bar type stuff and they got rid of Sugar Sticks!!!. Now, they still make them because they are still put in the boxes for holidays. But you can't buy them alone anymore. You have to buy a box of stuff you don't want to get 2 or 3 of them. I like Russell Stover candy at the drugstore. All my old favorites have been reformulated or changed. UNO bars are no longer much different from a Three Muskateer. Annabel took the middle layer of chocolate out the Rocky Road bar. Hershey's has recently change their chocolate Kiss formula also. Probably think we won't notice by introducing all the silly different varieties but people did. Even Lifesavers messed up their flavors. It will be just like what happened to hamburgers *sigh*. A whole generation of kids grew up on McD's so they think In and Out or Sonic are something special. LOL I still like Swedish Fish. But only the original red ones. The multi-colored ones are just wrong.

what are your favorite dollar store items?
Q
Comments (23)
I definitely avoid edible items there unless it's a name brand and I verify expiration. I do buy spices there. Started going to Dollar Tree and bought a lot of stuff. Bought some of the LA Totally Awesome cleaner there to try out but you can get a bottle twice the size at Kmart for $2 so it's not the only place. I saw some people said in other places that they carry Greased Lightning and *that* is a great cleaner. Wanted to get some but they only had one bottle left and it was damaged. I won't buy aspirin or the like there, read too many credible tests that said they were inferior. I'd be very careful on foods. Dollar Tree items ($1 ea) I bought some salt-free seasoning to try out, eyeglass cases and pouches to use for various things. Some claim they sell umbrellas but the ones I've been to don't have them. Possibly it's seasonal. I bought pill organizers even a 14 day one that is $6-$10 most places. Decent quality dishpans that I like for organizing shelves and even using in the frig. Bullseye BBQ sauce, Blue Ice packs, binder clips, pens and some other office supplies, The Works brand cleaners are good too. I didn't need any but digital oral/rectal thermometers are $1. They even carry pregnancy tests and marijuana drug test kits if you need them. Got a couple of the windshield cleaners - the microfiber cloth on a stick. Combs, hairbrushes, mirrors, Peroxide, alcohol, kitchen utensils, etc. Bought a 3 pack of toothbrushes with the tubular containers for traveling. I bought some cell phone cases there and they have chargers too. I wanted to get some more wooden kitchen utensils but the quality was SO bad I passed. Splintery and just cheap so I said no. The aluminum disposable pans were cheaper at Walmart so I passed on those. Their paper products weren't a good value - so few sheets on a roll of toilet paper or towels, nope, no good. A couple of the big grocery stores in the area have $1 areas too that I make use of. One picnic we decided to bring a watermelon but didn't have a knife so we went to a dollar store and bought a serrated knife that worked fine for cutting it and I didn't care if it disappeared, which it did. Also picked up some aluminum trays to put meats in and used two, one to hold ice then one on top with the meat so it wouldn't get wet and it'd stay cool. Also buy serving spoons to use and toss when you are pretty sure you won't get them back from a pot luck. There's different "dollar" type stores. Dollar General and Family Dollar are all different prices so you need to watch your pricing. Dollar Tree is $1 for everything, and they take coupons too.

What is your favorite commercial? Least favorite?
Q
Comments (47)
Guess I'm just not watching as much TV anymore but I haven't seen many of these. Don't have a favorite at least that's been broadcast in recent history. 20+ years ago there were some really good commercials on TV and radio too for that matter but now it's mute or change channels. Least favorite: Political ads, that asinine St. Jude's commercial when mommy goes "I'M SCARED TOO!" (but at least it seems they pulled that - there's a different one now), any feminine "freshness" or the Viva Viagra commercials. (Elvis must be spinning in his grave... unless they gave him a Cialis when he died.) And I don't give a hoot about "Little" Jimmy's Johnson, sheesh. Even Terry Bradshaw wouldn't do that commercial. I want to say grow up but there'd be an unintended pun there. At least now there's a good reason for weight gain. Going to get snacks during commercials. Bring back the cigarette commercials. They were creative and entertaining at least. Frank Bartles and Ed Jaymes, we need you now more than ever though the Betty White & Abe Vigoda Snickers commercial is not bad.

Monica, I have some of those nighties too! I wear them over my sleeveless nighties if it is too cold, but those are definitely my other fave.

That's funny, I wore one of DH's old flannel shirts around the house until it fell apart. Loved that soft, comfy shirt.

I'd say my favorite item of clothing is a very soft rose-colored cardigan that I wear around the house now.

This time of year my favorite everything is fleece!

My favorite fleece garmet is an dark green ankle-lenght robe/gown with 3/4 length sleeves, a zip front, stand up collar (to keep the back of my neck warm) and big roomy pockets.

On cold evenings I pair it with thermal pants, warm socks, and sometimes thin gloves, if I'm on the computer.

Ahhhh...warm and comfy and alluring. Well, two out of three aren't bad! LOL

I shudder when I think of what I use to prance around in, winter and summer. As my Grandmother would have said, it's a wonder I didn't catch my death!

I'm so much more comfortable now that I'm sensible! LOL

I'm posting a photo of a similar robe. I got mine ar Penney's for less than $20 at an end-of-season sale.

My favorite article of clothing is my goose down vest....

As far as nighties go, I would post a pic of mine but modesty won't allow it since the only nightie I wear is the one I was born with.....LOL

My ScotteVest windbreaker. It has enough pockets to pack for a weekend trip. LOL

It's a size big so even with all the inner pockets in use I can layer it over another jacket, or a down vest or even a combo of layers.

It packs down into a little pouch.

I love packable outerwear. I have several from anoraks to down vests and even a lightweight down jacket.

That would be an L.L. Bean corduroy big shirt. Can't decide on which of the 6 of these that are in my closet would be my most favorite. The colors are all so pretty.

I have 2 pair of jeans from Maurices. They are traditionally a young and trendy kind of store, but my hairdresser suggested I try their jeans. I LOVE them. They were not real expensive ($30?), but fit me perfectly and dont look like "mom-jeans". I can wear with nice boot or heel equally as a casual flat shoe.

Anything fleece!

My son who is on the autism spectrum lives in soft clothes. I recently bought him several sueded long sleeve shirts at JC Penney when they had a sale because I knew he'd favor them.

Flannel shirt, I guess (though I'm not exactly an afficionado of the season[s] in which I need it).

Temp has been 56 - 60 or so in house in recent evenings ... and it's too early to turn on the furnace, yet.

Five layers on the torso does the job ... and a washcloth with a safety pin to make a loop to go over my wrist so the fingers on the mouse don't freeze ('tother hand sits under the butt, on occasion as required).

T shirts.........I wear them for every day and for most of my shopping. I have them in every color imaginable and I have gardening T's......around the house T's and going shopping T's. This is Texas and we don't dress up much so a T is appropriate most any place. I do have 3 flannel shirts too that I wear over my T's in winter. They are from the men's dept at JC Penney's.

I love being older and retired. I make my own clothes and when I am at home by myself I wear my housedresses that I make for myself..and in the winter they are made out of nice heavy flannel. So soft, and cozy. I am such a plain Jane. LOL Now If I could just learn how to knit some long stockings to warm my feet I would really be homemade Jane!
