I need to focus more b/c I really enjoy thrifting and consignment stores.<br />I also feel you on the having a lot of money thing. I love when I find something I love and I watch for it to go on sale or I save up and get it. It feels good b/c I know I'll love it!! It would be different if I could always afford it though. Anyway,Keep it up. I love to see what new/old things you get. :)<br /><br />thejazzybelle.blogspot.comThe Jazzy Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01385323563236180995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90781495638287740.post-27567489310484087392010-02-09T17:00:08.067-06:002010-02-09T17:00:08.067-06:00Hey Katy, I did some shopping today that really re...Hey Katy, I did some shopping today that really reminded me of this post. I feel the very same way about thrifting. I thought I should tell you about the store I just came from. It is an antique shop in Topeka called "Pastense" at Huntoon and Oakley. If you don't know where that is, it's not far from Washburn, just a little west and north. The lady who owns it gets lots of great clothes from estate sales, and they are often quite cheap! And I worry that no one will ever find them! You should check it out!HadleyEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511342892458056772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90781495638287740.post-11450639116868566312010-02-08T20:41:40.027-06:002010-02-08T20:41:40.027-06:00Hello!

Also, I think she just doesn't feel comfortable with me wearing something that belonged to someone we know nothing about, which some thrifters would probably consider the exact reason they like thrifting!terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02258632100830550298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90781495638287740.post-81194791458005332972010-02-07T20:15:01.234-06:002010-02-07T20:15:01.234-06:00WOW what amazing finds!

But I really want to try because I feel guilty buying a new cotton tshirt when I think of the amount of pesticide sprayed on the cotton plant. I'm still really in the process of getting my mom to allow me to thrift.

It's a perfect activity to reward myself after a day of writing, and I find it so relaxing, since it's quiet and no salespeople are up in your face repeatedly asking you if you're finding everything ok. I agree with you--I wouldn't know what to do if I had all the money in the world for clothes.<br /><br />Thanks for running such a great blog--I've been reading for a while but have never really commented. I love your outfits and that you're NOT from NYC or LA.

Which is exactly how I want it to be, as I like stretching my imagination when it comes to clothes. I look for different ways to style what I already have, I've tried thrifting and I also found a seamstress who can copy just about any style I show her. Having clothes made is great fun, especially since no one will have the exact style that I have.pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283199198700554694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90781495638287740.post-16706465073839759882010-02-06T09:08:12.836-06:002010-02-06T09:08:12.836-06:00I totally agree!!
