Oh, so you thrift – well, chances are you’re only half-thrifting. There’s been so many times when I’ve found something amazing at a thrift store but didn’t get it because the fit wasn’t right and as a result I looked stupid. And I cannot have that. So when it finally dawned on me, ‘just get it tailored, dumb dumb’, I was both relieved that I could finally get these gems my heart have so long desired AND pissed that I’ve missed out of things in the past and failed to realize such a trivial solution. I’d hashtag first world problems but this isn’t Twitter and I’m not about to become one of ‘those’ people. Moral of this long-winded story is if you’ve ever not gotten something you would have because it didn’t fit you have only been half-thrifting. So, get out there, full-thrift (read: get that shit tailored).
There’s logic behind the preceding rant – the jacket I’m wearing above originally looked as though I was smuggling small children into the country via my sleeves BUT it has since been tailored and now fits like a glove.
In other news, I found an awesomely awesome pair of white loafers that required no tailoring since they, one: are shoes and two: already fit.
I also wanted to share this bag that I got on my day of full-thrifting. Isn’t it great? Great. Genuine leather, ladies and gents – cant get that shit just anywhere.
