I want this coat so bad.

And I think it's only a question of time before I get it because I am weak, and I've been dying for a fur coat.  I'm hoping I can get a 20% off coupon (checking out the coupon websites, they seem to offer discounts with a pretty regular frequency) before it gets cold.  I daresay I won't be going to shows much this semester for the sake of spending my money on other unnecessary stuff such as beautiful coats.

My roommates and I are going to go thrift shopping tomorrow.

I'm so excited.

I'm just going to get everything from thrift stores now. I got this cute peach dress, and a cropped turtle neck, today. They're so cute~

Gotta say though. I'm not really loving the coat.

I never could get into thrift stores, though the last time I tried xtreme thrift shopping I was 16 and didn't much have the patience to tie my shoes, so perhaps I should give it a second shot. I have a lingering negative hipster connotation with thrift shops though, but I'll get over it eventually.

(Somehow, I'm not surprised you don't much like the coat.)

I feel like you'd be okay with it. I mean, you shop at like, Ross right? Loman's? It just takes patience and a sense of... I don't know, deviation? You can never know what you'll walk out with in a thrift store, but that's the glory of it. Personally, I love finding things at them.

(It's so... gaudy.)

I absolutely hate shopping at Ross, though I can. Loehmann's and Filene's are organized, unlike Ross and Marshall's, so I hugely prefer going there.

Honestly, I think the main thing I have against thrift stores is that it seems like nothing I like fits me. I have stupid proportions.

(It's rather Bond villain, imo.)

Oh. That's a good point. 'Cause finding generally small things is pretty easy...

Durr. Good thrift stores are well organized.

(I see it. I've just never been the type. Personally.)

Not just overall size issues, unfortunately. I measure a dress size 8 or so for my torso and a 4 for waist/hips. Stuff tends to not fit me too good since I don't particularly enjoy having my boobs squished. Actually, I could probably do well buying some skirts. Hm.

As for organized, I like it best when I can find something I like in a row of stuff, then go to the counter and ask for it in my size. Makes me life a lot easier.

Probably.

Umm, well I guess you shouldn't shop at thrift stores then? What you find is what you get.
