I want to mention a thrifting nugget I NEED to share with you!!
If you find something at a thrift/resale/consignment shop that makes your blood pressure rise a bit or if you move with lightning speed to get to that item - BUY IT!
I have had at least two instances of late where I did NOT buy the item in question and I have kicked myself in the butt ever since!! On Wed. of this week I found these fantastic gold shoes that were AWESOME, I grabbed them so quickly off the shelf I was crazed over them. I held them in my hands and admired them lovingly. I turned them over and to my amazement they were a size 7 1/2 just my size. It was etched in the stars that these shoes were coming home with mama! On a side note I decided to try them on, they were flopping off of my foot (they were a cute as could be high heel pump with no straps). Hmmmm, I thought why Donna they don't fit very well maybe you shouldn't buy them..... HELLO, What the heck was I thinking!! I put the shoes back on the rack and left the store. I happened to stop at another store on the way home and found a kick ass dress - color you ask? Black & Gold! Yes, that's right gold. I went home and dreamed about how fantastic those shoes were going to look with that dress.... the thrift store where said shoes were located was closed Thurs. so Fri. I was the FIRST person in the thrift store when they opened and the shoes were GONE! I know this is overacting, but I felt like I wanted to cry! I pulled myself out of the store and hung my head all the way back to my car, yelling at myself for how stupid I was not spending the dam $5.00 for the shoes when I saw them! My thought at the time was when the heck would I wear GOLD shoes, and in the back of my mind I figured who else would be using GOLD shoes at this time of year either so if need be they would be there when I thought it over a bit..... big MISTAKE! This is just one example of how if you don't go for it NOW, it probably won't be there when you go back so PLEASE learn from my mistakes and BUY IT when you see that honey of an item that makes your heart sing - at thrift store prices it's not worth passing it over and having a heart break over it later.....
Until Next Time - God Bless!!
