This whole blog idea started when my sister-in-law/follow-idiot Brooke and I were thrift shopping and I was like "haha we are so funny, we should start a thrifting blog!" And Brooke laughed. And I laughed. And the cashier groaned and died a little more inside.
Thrift shopping isn't the blood sport I thought it would be. It is mostly a way for the two of us to spend our lunch hour that keeps us both out of the mall and out of restaurants (except Pho, that doesn't count.) I remember the day that I converted Brooke over to the dark side. It was sexy, like I had taken her thrift-shopping-virginity, which is totally a thing. I found a cute pair of jeans and was like "wow, on sale for $2.50 - score!" and she was like "I can have jeans for $2.50??" but then she bought a pair for $4.00, like a rookie.
The funny thing is that we hate each other's fashion choices. If it's black or grey and totally boring, Brooke loves it. If it's crazy and ugly or overly floral, it's for me. For very similar people, we are nothing alike. In fact, if Brooke thinks something is the ugliest f 'ing thing she has ever seen, it just confirms that I love it and it is amazing! Ugly is the new hot.
