DIARY OF A MAD THRIFT STORE SHOPPER!
Okay,
So it's 6:30 a.m. and thirty minutes to countdown!
Half-price day at the thrift store! Don't laugh...if you knew like I knew, you'd be excited too.
When I was a "corporate diva" I dressed with the best. Donna Karan, Liz, Oscar De Larenta, etc., etc.
Now more mature and more "survivor oriented" than "image" oriented, I do a combination of Michigan Ave. shopping and local thrift finds. And since I'm a quality shopper, you couldn't tell the difference.
Of course, there are things I would never buy from a thrift store, but I love to get my music there, books, pictures for the wall, and stationery. You can find some really unusual, well crafted, beautiful, and even NEW stuff, dirt cheap.
Particularly if you can beat the aggressive little old ladies, who are often camped outside in long lines stretched further than an R. Kelly concert.
