Bargain!

I love a good bargain. Who doesn't?! I'm usually a pretty thrifty shopper - like, I only buy things on sale. (Except for my sneakers. I wear those things 6/7 days a week; they're worth every penny I spend!) I like discount shops and Bookman's and yard sales and outlets. And thrift stores, I love thrift stores.

There is a thrift store chain in LA called Out of the Closet; its a non profit whose proceeds go toward HIV/AIDS research, education, and treatment. There is a location right behind my work building and I usually make a point to stop by once a week or so to check things out. I usually go for records, decor, and books but last week I scored the clothing find of the century: a little black dress.






Dillards sells this for almost $180. I got it for $30. It fits like a glove and its practically brand new. And it is so so so sexy in that classic beautiful kind of way. D and I have a wedding to go to in December - a million dollar affair at Long Island's swankiest reception hall. And I'll be wearing a dress I bought in a thrift store :)
