[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 111627, member: 1967"] No, her old clothes are not white. In fact, some are quite bright florals and some are even beige . They are just not new. She is also a child of the depression era, and like the person that susiestar described, is incredibly frugal. She has clothes that were given to her in her closet that she will just not wear. She just wears the same old clothes that she bought long ago. We had another funny story regarding shoes during our last visit. She complained that her shoes were too small and were hurting her feet. I looked inside and couldn't find the size so I asked her what size she wore. She told me that she had never worn larger than a 6.5 in her life. We took her to Kmart where I knew they had the Cobbie Cuddler brand shoes that she liked. In fact, she was wearing a black pair when we got there. I started at a 6.5 and it was much too small. We ended up buying a 9.5 in black and tan. We took her back to the assisted living facility that night and left the next day. I asked my brother a while later if she was wearing the new shoes. He said that she wouldn't wear the black ones since they were "men's shoes." I pointed out to him that they were the exact same ones (but a larger size) that she was wearing when we went shoe shopping. She also complained that the beige ones had a broken shoe lace which we didn't notice because we were "in such a hurry that they just dropped me off at the door with the shoes." Ummmm, that's not exactly how I remember it. In fact, she refused at the time to try the beige ones on or I would have noticed the broken shoelace. And we didn't drop her, the walker, and two boxes of shoes at the door of the ALF and speed off.
