Thrift Shopping

I think I'm a person that has be forced into doing things that I am not familiar with. I am not saying that I am not adventurous, but with some things I need a little push. Just a slight nudge in the right direction.

I think I have been broke most of my life, so I usually don't shop. If you know me, you know that I wear the same things, cannot apply makeup for the life of me, and am pretty unfashionable. It's not that I don't care about clothing or makeup. I would love to be able to have them all, but it's just that I don't have a budget for it. There's always more important things to spend my money on.

With a lot of nudging I was convinced to go to a thrift shop to maybe find a few things to fill my wardrobe. I would love to shop at nice places, but I was finally desperate for a few pieces of clothing that would not break my bank.

I was a little doubtful that I would find anything, but after finally buckling down, I was quite surprised. I found an Ann Taylor cardigan for a few dollars! It still had the tags! I was in love. I love that feeling I get when I find something really cheap. It's almost like I have to buy it. Have you ever been in the store and bought something you really didn't need just because it was really cheap? Well, that is me after Christmas... I have so many wrapping paper, bags, Christmas cards that were 90%. Do I need those things? Probably not.

Having found that cardigan won over my heart, and now I want to visit every thrift shop in Southern California. I want a whole new wardrobe! I am so madly in love. I love a bargain, and my heart cannot resist thrift shops. :)
