Why the Empress of Thrift

I have thrifted and rummaged all my life. Now I work with Goodwill in the San Francisco Bay Area. Kismet. I decided to throw down a challenge to myself -- buy only thrift clothes for six months. It turned out that this was not deprivation, it was freedom from catalogs, shop windows and commercials. Bonus: it is a fun game. I like treasure hunting through thrift stores and finding items I might not have bought at retail. Some of these items were mistakes (okay, the 50's pink plaid mohair coat turned me into fuzzy Heffalump), but even when they were, I had more flair in my fashion and I re-donated the items for a new sale and $$ for the thrift store cause.

I shop at all Goodwill stores in the Bay Area, especially the boutique stores at West Portal and Menlo Park. I also shop at the Peninsula Humane Society store, Pick of the Litter, in Burlingame. See links to locations below.
