    Default Went a thriftin'

    Gosh I love to do that...! Gripey just hated it... I was so not surprised by it either. He only went to one thrift store with me and was so ready to leave in about a minute. I on the other hand didn't get to look like I wanted to. I was able to find 2 pair of Eddie Bauer jeans (man that's 3 pair for me lately, these 2 pair were smaller ), a pair of new with tags black dress pants and a really cute leopard print dress with a denimn jacket and matching collar and trim. I later went on my own to another thrift store and found 3 shirts for me plus a pair of South Pole jeans to sell on consignment. I spent a total of $17 on both forays. My closet isn't looking so bare anymore. Now, when I get these last 20 pounds off these 2 new pair of jeans will fit me perfectly. I really wanted to spend more of the day digging around the thrift stores. I'm gonna go back into the city one day soon just to do that, all-day-long. Anyone wanna come with me?
