Daily Outfit - Jen - 2/22/10



This weekend was THE weekend. The weekend that I ventured outside of my comfort zone. The weekend that I visited no less than 98273498723 stores and tried my hand at thrifting.

I combed through racks and racks of pre-owned clothes and questionable selections of jewelry. I shopped for 4 hours, people. FOUR HOURS. Things were looking grim. My pinky toes were blistering, I was getting the shakes from a very serious and official case of excessive energy expenditure, and I'd purchased absolutely nothing.

Thankfully, my friend (Thao! Love!) accompanied me to not only make sure I would survive, but to also ensure that I bought something. A promise is a promise! Because the truth is, I am not a shopper. I don't particularly enjoy it. Online shopping is more of my thingity thang.

Anyway, a couple of times I came thisclose to buying something just to get it over with - to say "I thrifted! Get off of my back!" But even in this stone cold heart of mine, I knew that I had to keep searching, and eventually I found THE ONE.

Our eyes met. We blushed. And then I threw caution to the wind and proclaimed, "I WILL HAVE YOU."

$14.50 later, I did.
