Thrifting!!!


I am not very good at it. Problem #1 my brain knows you can easily wash the clothing but I still get an ick factor, #2 my nose is extremely sensitive..even when people I know give me stuff..I start sneezing. So I tend to avoid thrift stores in general. Yesterday my husband who didn't want to spend $30 on a mat for his computer chair decided it was a great idea to go to a thrift store. I tagged along because putting my nose aside and my general ignorance I wanted a new blazer and didn't want to spend $40, I figured this was my best bet.

It was a success. I found one for *drum roll please* $3 and change. The tag said $7 and I was confused when the guy was ringing it up and I was about to say something but the hubby gave me a nudge and a shut up stare..lol. I also saw these really great boots but I was too scared to buy them.

Very similar to these but pointier tow and in navy
$5, I really am a little sad about not getting them. Insha'Allah my fear of  other people's toes touching/lingering in something I would potentially wear will subside and I can make it out of a thrift store with shoes too.
