I have WAY too many clothes. I honestly have no idea how many pairs of black pants I have. This is one of the burdens of having worked at a thrift store. Another burden is going to trendy second hand stores and seeing their higher prices or worse seeing the price of clothing NEW!!! The last piece of clothing I bought new was a black pin striped shirt I got at a small goth store on Hawthorne over two years ago. Before that, I hadn't bought NEW clothes since moving to Portland which was five years ago. But I do LOVE to get new-to-me clothes. That's why Monday (7/9/07) was fabulous. I picked up a clothing donation for a local charity with one of my friends. As "payment" for picking up these clothing from various second-hand stores, we get to go thru them first and pick out some items for ourselves. I got the lovely red dress with white polka dots pictured above that I plan to turn into an apron for cooking. I didn't need the feather boa because I already have one exactly like it but can one ever have too many feather boas?
in order to gain new experiences, test my limits and break up life's general monotony, i've decided to do one new thing per day.
