I'm the boot sale (swap meet in the States?) queen and proud of it.
Yesterday I bought a new outfit at a boot: a (brand new DESIGNER) dress for £2, a pair of (brand new) sandals for £2, and a vintage watch for £1. That's £5 in total (or around $8). Worn together, the outfit looks like it would have cost a fortune.
Truthfully? I can't remember the last time I bought an item of clothing from a store. I
did buy a pair of very expensive leather boots back in January because my feet were hurting and my parents had given me some money for Christmas but apart from those (and lingerie), I think the last time I purchased an item of clothing/footwear from a regular store was
at least a year ago. Coming to think of it, the last
dress I remember puchashing from a regular retail store - albeit, in this case, an online one - was the gown I wore to the dash site's bash in Oakland... and that was 3 years ago.
God I'm a cheap date.
