Thrifting again

I just knew I had to go. Maybe I'm psychic...but just when it comes to thrift stores. I had to get to the Salvation Army in Auburn today- I had to or I was going to be cranky. I knew I'd miss something.

I would have missed this beauty:



It's the very sort of thing I love to stumble upon, especially at under $5. I'd have to say its quite old- possible 1940's or the early 50's. It's in IMPECCABLE shape. And the weirdest thing- it fits me. Even in the waist (usually everything's too small on my unfortunately thick waist).

Hard to photograph, at least hard for me, though. Check out these pockets!! Gorgeous. They really don't make garments like this anymore.



Also...I got these:



Which are dead-ringers for some boots I tried on last weekend that were $200. I scored these for $1.94. They fit perfect and I was surprised to realize that are not leather. They really, really look like leather in real life. They are rubber rain boots!! So weird!! But, they are floppy and squishy on the inside. Awesome for slushy mountain days!!!

I got a long sleeved, long striped knit dress by The Territory Ahead as well, but it's not really that cool- I do know I will wear it to death, though. Striped dresses and me have a passionate history.

Scarlet scored a porcelain tea set. We had some Earl Grey and Tabouli together on the floor. I guess I have to sweep now.:)
