savers

went to savers AGAIN.  2.5 hours later i had a new convert.  but really, who doesnt like shopping with me.  seriously.
$25 with a 30% off coupon.  cos who takes advantage of a coupon at a thrift store?  a poor college kid.  moi.  the camel kenneth cole coat came out to $7 and was the same style i was eyeing last year... at $75.  the burgundy pile there is a men's jacket which is labeled "distinctively marsh's of huntington, ny" as it turns out, the store is there and it may or may not be a vintage jacket.  hard to tell seeing as reviews say men's coats are upwards to $500.  but i look like a failed hipster or the newest member of the warblers.  picture someday.

but i also bought 2 middle aged lady dresses and fixed 'em up, marissa style
new subtle bubble-hem no cutting or serging required!
talbots [size 6?] dress with shortened sleeves and length.  total time: 20 minutes

i also saw the most terrifying sweater ever.  [in]appropriate for all seasons!  although the month of may looks a bit like a tank "upcycled" into a flowerpot...

  1. I too love great deals at thrift stores. And the fact that I'm less likely to see everyone and their cousin in the same outfit.
