gettin' thrifty

find me one person who HASN'T been affected by the economic crisis at hand...and i will give you $5.

mind you, i don't have $5 to give...but i guess you could also look at it as that is a measure of how confident i am that everyone has been affected - even in super small ways.

that being said...i am going to hit up the local thrift store tomorrow. not really sure what i am in the market for (a funky vase, a pair of shorts...who knows) but i would still like to go and check things out. and yes - i realize this is in total defiance of the "rules of thrifting"...

i can recall going as a teenager...i scored this awesome maroon velvet (men's?) blazer for like $4. admittedly it was a bit of an odd choice for your typical 14 year old girl...but i loved that thing and wore it everywhere.

however, i haven't ever gone since. my mentallity had been who needs a thrift store when you have the miracle that is target? ahh, how times (and bank account balances) have changed.

i will let you know what i find...
