So this morning I woke up with a killer headache and a vengeance. I almost canceled plans to go thrifting, but then my sister called and Mariel showed up and all was right again.<------------ This lovely sign, listed for $4 at the Goodwill off Ritchie Hwy caught my eye and describes me perfectly. Thank goodness for good friends and my new Christmas Camera or this day would have been hell!
I love going to thrift stores and seeing the people with wild hair and funky clothing, versus the old, and genuinely poor people. The trendsetters stand out so feverishly and I want to meet them all... hence why I've started my "Thrift Look of the Month". The guy featured next to me had a cool Two-Face thing going on with his hair: one minute it would be brown and bleach streaked and then he would swoosh his head and reveal a radical pinkish red. It wasn't hard to notice him bobbing around in the clothing racks and I couldn't help but wonder what his deal was. Turns out he's at the thrift store volunteering his time because "it really looks good on a resume." Never would have guessed!
Mariel almost bought this scarf, but decided against it because it was from the Gap instead of handmade and heartfelt.
Here's me admiring the boots that I tried on and never took off. (I paid for them up front by shoving my foot on the counter and proving the $6 mark to the sales clerk.) They are super pointy and exotic. The tag reads that they are Made in Spain by "Spiegal" and when I typed that in Ebay my exact pair showed up with a better picture than the one you see here. Listed as Spiegal Western Cowboy Flames Overlay Leather Boots they are going for almost $37 bucks! Boy Oh Boy! I snagged them for less than the shipping cost!
I always wanted to be a Disney Channel Star. There's always tomorrow!

Mariel almost bought this scarf, but decided against it because it was from the Gap instead of handmade and heartfelt. I still totally love it.

I love it when Goodwill's try to pawn off Disney fads that have long been forgotten by 7 year old girls who once held "High School Musical" so dear to their hearts. The ceramic blonde above is way cooler in my opinion than this Ashley Tisdale relic... but do you think the back of my hair looks as cool as hers used to on "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody?"
