I have long referred to the Village Discount thrift store by my house as the "shit thrift store". It's poorly organized, smells bad, and is always full of little kids gone apeshit. The only time I ever go there is when I am exceptionally lazy and don't want to head over to the Unique Thirft Stores on either Sheridan or Elston. This happens almost never. But I decided to stop in there today on my way home from work, and OH MY am I glad I did.
I will now start referring to this thrift store as the "scarf mecca of the midwest". There were scarves everywhere. I got all these scarves for about $5, and one of them is 100% silk. SNAP!
I was unpacking my bag of loot to take this picture and started thinking about all those Mission: Organization shows. You know, the ones where you almost barf because some crazed housewife in Iowa has a whole room full of Longaberger baskets and Beanie Babies. And then she breaks down when the host tells her she has a problem? Every time I come back from the thrift store, I fear the day that Matt has a thrift intervention with one of the annoyingly perky hostesses from these shows.
This is why I love buying scaves at the thrift store. They are small, easy to transport, and all look the same to a boy. I can easily sneak them into my rotation of scarves without a peep. I have become quite the ninja as this, as I hate hearing "Another fucking scarf / pair of shoes / board game / tank top?!?!? Jesus woman, you are gonna need a whole house for your crap"
