Under: Thrifting
. There are no accidents. Everything that happens is meant to be. When my girlfriend Dianne insisted I go power walking with her I really was not in the mood but she(another thrift diva) talked me into it. It's good for the bod so off we went down Clement Street toward the ocean. Ten blocks down she spies a Goodwill store and insists we stop for only ten minutes. I head toward the shoes (I used to have a shoe outlet) and I spotted RED SOLES---OMG---I knew what that meant---Christian Louboutin---couldn't possibly be my size! Anyway, I lunged at them before another size 10 shoe dog could grab them and sat down on the floor to remove my walking shoes and socks. BRAND NEW Black patent ankle strap heels in size 10 for $10. I could barely breathe and there was a roaring in my ears. I could hardly believe it. Why were they there? Who gave them away? I wondered and realized I didn't really care--- they were mine! What great finds can you share? Eco-friendly+Eco-nomical=Eco-fabulous!
