A New Sport: Thrifting

The last two weekends I have taken to meandering  various parts of the city on foot with one of my roomies, definitely a worth while experience. 

Last weekend we walked the streets of our own neighborhood, checking out thrift shops.  Since I have a love of exponentially growing my clothing collection (and yes I consider it a collection) but am on a much tighter budget it is necessary for me to put my creativity to good use to solve this clothing dilemma.  My crafty solution is thrift shops.  Sifting through the racks at thrift shops is not only guaranteed to produce laughs, it is also immensely satisfying when you make a find.  Last weekend I found a really nice JCrew suit.  Probably not the most typical purchase from a thrift shop but hell I'll get more use out of the suit then I do any of the Halloween costumes I've purchased from Ragstock.  So until I start making the big bucks or live rent free Thrift Town here I come.
