I went thrifting yesterday (again) and found some really cute stuff. In fact, my entire outfit today was thrifted. I was told that I looked like a young lady saying goodbye to her sweetheart as he boarded a train going off to the war, which is sad, but I can see the resemblance. If there happens to be a draft soon, at least I'll know what to wear!

| Blouse, skirt, and shoes-thrifted |
I love this outfit. The blouse is awesome, it has the obnoxiously named "Pussybow" collar that I've been searching for all over-and guess what? I found it at the bottom of a Goodwill warehouse bin and bought it for 58 cents! What a score. That is why I always dig to the bottom of the bins, no matter how heavy everything is. I had Gryphon use his man-muscles to hold everything out of the way so I could dive to the very bottom and extract treasures. It's a good way to shop.
The skirt and shoes were from the Goodwill thrift-store, actually, which is the higher end Goodwill where they take all their nicer stuff. They were definitely pricier than 58 cents, but I'm not complaining.

My friend Erica was destined to end up on my blog at some point. She's a master thrifter, she somehow finds the most outlandish garments and wears them beautifully. She's the one who tought me the bottom of the bin technique. Today she was wearing a lovely patchwork dress that I had to get some pictures of.
Isn't it cute? Erica is a goddess in thrift stores. I make an effort to take her with me whenever I go. She'll most likely be a regular on the blog!
