Thrifting again

It's been awhile. Recently, I've been researching higher-end goods and shopping at nicer stores, at least nicer for me. After which, thrift stores started to not look so good. The smell, the film of dirt over everything, the time investment without payoff--they didn't seem worth it. And I got rid of so many things that I had acquired at a thrift store only a short time before. I was determined to break that cycle.

But I've gone back for several reasons. I've decided I need to slow down on the spending (as soon as winter sales stop tempting me, damnit!). I think a few original, quirky pieces will really perk up all these higher-quality items I've been getting. I've noticed that my favorite wardrobe items are all thrift store finds.
