A thrifty phase for me?

I have never, ever considered myself a thrift store consumer. It is definitely not that I have considered myself above it, or anything like that! I was just well. I don't know. It's like the time my cousin sent me this amazing mix cd, full of fantastic but not yet household name, indie artists. Everyone was telling me how cultured and elite I was for compiling all the songs. But it wasn't me.. Jesus, that does not make any sense. Whatsoever. Bottom line, I was not a thriftier. That is until I took a day trip down to Ybor City and fell in love. I guess I had stereotyped second hand stores as a bunch of Walmart hand-me-downs reeking of cigarettes.
So long story, short (too late) A fantastical clothing trade and exchange store opened downtown a few weeks ago. Like Plato's Closet, but independent. Today I brought literally 10 pounds of mothball gathering pieces and got 37 big ones in store credit.

I got:

1. A skinny belt with neon blue studs
2. An oversize, peachy, vest thing with a bow
3. A cute lil' Roxy dress

I am very apologetic for the crappy, webcam quality of this outfit I put together. I am currently uploading every single photo on my camera to clear up space. As of.. 8:03 PM, we have 572 pics remaining :-(

This Is what I could manage in a smidge.
