    yay! i'm so happy. :D i found the most amazing thrift store today, only a 5 minute walk from the house. i got an amazing pair of jeans (multicolor patches, stitching, beading, torn spots...the works) for $3, 2 bras for $1 each, and a beaded wallet for 50 cents. they even had a tricorn hat that i considered getting, just for the fun of it. i paid for everything in change, and the woman working there didn't get impatient with me counting it out. she was so nice...the clothes there are so nice...it was awesome.

    i fucking love thrift stores.

    I can never find anything I like in thrift stores. Everything is just too hippy for me. So I usually stick to a few checked stores and brands I know.
    Dont hate me now...;)

    i was just kidding. : )

    but all thift stores are different, depending on the area. my only complaint about most of the ones i've been too is their lack of hippy-ish stuff.

    you really can't beat the prices and uniqueness of the clothes though...thats why i love them so much.

    There was this cool thrift store in town that closed down. I got my most awesome hat there.

    I should hit up the Goodwill or the Salvation army soon though, I need more hats.

    Yeah..We dont actually have many thrift stores, so thats probably it.
    Still, I prefer brands I already know.

    They are lots-o-fun :)

    Never know what you will find... but you do know it will probably be dirt cheap.

    They get mobbed and raped around here, same with the flea market... a picked through madhouse.

    I am the queen of thrift stores! They have a free shop in the town next door. You technically have to be a resident, but I know the girl who puts it on so I'm always bringing/picking up stuff there.

    There are TONS of thrift stores near my college that I tend to hit up 3 or 4 times a week. I wish they were open now so I could go thrift shopping! haha
