day of THRIFTING.

Let me begin by saying that I have done a rather poor job of updating my blog this summer. This is mostly due to being tired after work, laziness, and terrible television. But recently we've been having trouble with our cable.. so maybe you can expect to see some more posts.

Today was a day for THRIFTING. It's actually quite a fun activity to partake in. I've dabbled with it in the past but today I went with my roommate who I would say is an expert. There were several objectives I had in mind: 1) find a tie clip 2) find some cheap dress shirts 3) find a nice vest. I accomplished two out of three today!

I was a little dissapointed after visiting an antique flea market because I couldn't find a nice tie clip I liked, mostly because they were closing up. But we went to a goodwill and found a really nice J.Crew shirt and vest, for the grand total of... $18. Whoohoo!

While some of you may be a bit skeptical about thrifting, goodwills and flea markets.. but as a poor college student interning in NYC, I'm certainly not complaining.

AND.. on the way back we visited a J.Crew just for kicks and I got a tie that is normally $49.50 for $7.00.
