Give Thrift A Chance

While running some errands for work, I had a little time to kill and decided to check out Plato's Closet. With the economy in a recession, who can afford to shop at Banana, JCrew and such?? The selection was overwhemling...could have easily spent hours in there perusing all the goodies. I only had about 30 minutes, so I made the most of it. I wanted to check out the shoes, accessories and jeans. Since losing weight and dropping a size in pants, I figure this is a good way to get a few "new" pairs to get me by till I drop again (wink, wink).

While I didn't find any shoes (I swear the cute shoes are for tiny feet), I did find an awesome brown braided belt, 2 great statment necklaces, a yellow hobo bag and 3, yes I said 3, pairs of Gap jeans!! And how much did all these wonderful goodies cost me? Guess? A whopping $40!! Less than the price of once pair of jeans from Gap. Yes folks, thrifting is the new black.

So get out there and get your thrift on!
