Thrifting

So, I don't think I'll ever pay retail for shoes again. My dad took my sister and me out today since he had the day off. We ate at the Root Beer Stand and went to an Antique Mall. On the way back we saw a thrift store and decided to check it out. I didn't have very high expectations, but boy was I wrong. I found two pairs of shoes and two tops. The most expensive item was $5.99. Later, we found out that the pair of short boots I bought are by some fancy, expensive Italian company, Cole Haan. We looked on the website and the least expensive shoes were like $150, and they were flats. So they were a great, fluke find. Kelsey got like four pairs of cute shoes. It really was unbelievable; I mean, some of her shoes cost $1.99. How can you not by cute $2 shoes? Sure there was a hellova lot of ugly stuff there too and peoples' obnoxious kids were running wild, but all in all, it was a good trip. Even my dad found some sweaters. And to top if all off we got Hershey's ice cream.


I'm gonna have to start going to thrift stores more often. Here are the shoes; the dolls are an added bonus x3
