SWOON.
even on holidays, without feeling a deep pang in my belly.(Am I weird? Does it matter?)
I have been doing this , thrifting etc, for YEARS, way before it became hip to do so...yes I know...
we all say that.
It started age 13,
year 8, when I walked past the local Vinnies on the way to and from school.
In the window
one glorious day, I saw a rather fetching pair of "Dolly" style school shoes. I tried them They fitted. I was hooked.
And so began my love in earnest...men's shirts, particularly tuxedo dress shirts..which I sewed funky vintage buttons onto.
I thought i was so goddamn COOL.
Now, a few decades on, my thrifting choices are geared towards purchases for my home. And boy, do I have a lot of cool stuff. No minimalism here...sorry.Do I neeed any more? NO. Will this stop me? NO...but you knew that already, huh?
