Boy am I in the mood to write. Amongst a billion errands I have run today and it only being 1 o’clock I have some thoughts running through my head. I am in the process of searching for a better paying part time job. Do those exist? Of course! I am sitting at my computer in my nerd/hipster glasses in a giant v-neck sweater. Can you feel the Ivy League look as you read this??? I figure it will help get into my scholarly mode.
I want more cozy sweaters. Hell, I want more of everything! My wardrobe is looking bare these days and all I can do is save my bucks for what? Is it better to save for short weekend vacations or have a well stocked closet? Perhaps both are worth my money. That is all I would spend it on: Vacations and clothes. I know people who save strictly for traveling but what’s the fun of traveling if you don’t have an awesome wardrobe to accompany the destination?
Now as much as I want to save money, thrifting is not cutting it these days. Never in my 11 year run as a thrift shopper have I found thrift stores to be so expensive and inadequate! Lacking in good selection and low prices, thrift stores are hitting a low point in my book. On that note, I have begun to compile a list of places I seem to get the good deals here in SoCal. Wherever you are, look for consignment stores and boutiques that sell used clothes. There you will find some great items! There is one boutique in Grossmont Center, San Diego, where I found the best black Peacoat! Not only have I been starving for a simple black Peacoat, it was only $10!!!!!!! Find your little nooks and crannies of vintage stores; you will be surprised what treasures you will find. They tend to be more fashion forward and less picked over. Thrift Stores, it been real.
