WFMW: Extending a girl's wardrobe
My Works for Me Wednesday tip today is how I extend the life of my girls’ wardrobe.T-shirts: I extend the life of nice T-shirts and polo shirts that have made it thru the summer still looking good- by purchasing a couple of cheap long sleeve shirts in solid colors for each girl. I purchase one white long sleeve shirt and one in a solid color that coordinates well with most of their shirts. For example- Sassafras loves pink- (this girl has a lot of pink tops) so I purchased one white top and one green one as the green goes well with pink.
Layering shirts also has the added bonus of keeping them warmer than just one long sleeve top. [I purchased the girls long sleeve tops at Wal-mart for $5 each.]
Too Short Skirts and Dresses: I pair these with leggings and pants. And if the dress is short sleeved- we add the sold colored long sleeve top too. I didn’t come up with this on my own- I must give a hat tip to the girls in my youth group at church. It seems layering is the way to go.
Also: While at a Christian Concert this year I saw a singer wearing a long sleeved top under a short sleeved blouse. I very much liked the look and plan to copy that myself this fall.
And that, dear readers, is what’s workin’ for me today. Don’t forget that

The Wagner Clan
My Husband (DH)-Mr. Steady
My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.
DD11- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.
DD8- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added spice of flavor to our family.
DS4- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He likes to think he's in charge and often is! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
