Lesson of the week? Thrifting is a skill and a thrill. I can already hear you guys saying, "Obviously! How did you not know that?" You see, I have been to thrift stores before, but every visit - before this week that is - involved lazy and impatient wandering.
If you asked me a week ago, I would have told you that my thrifting skills were sucky and that I'd rather click through etsy vintage shops and adore all of the finds there. I envied the pro thrifters, the people that had the 'eye' for those kinds of things. But when I decided to randomly step into a thrift store this Wednesday, I actually picked up a cute blouse and thus discovered my thirst to thrift.
It was like being awoken! *GASP* This blouse for only $3.00?! A purse for $3.00?! Books for $0.99?! I began to strategize - shoving hangers left and right, carefully inspecting every item that possibly had potential. All of this made my brain go crazy with ideas like, I could get better at this!
Anyhoo, it was a wonderful out-of-the-blue learning experience. I pretty much sashayed to my car, bag in hand.
