Let's talk about dumpster diving for a minute. I've only gone dumpster diving once, but that one time was so awesome, I just want to share it with the world! Part of the reason it was so awesome was because it was at a college campus the day after everyone moved out. All the things kids bought over the school year that they couldn't pack up in their parents' cars was either left out in the lobbies, free for the taking, or put in the dumpster. Because it was a lot of stuff, and not a lot of regular trash, picking through it wasn't really that gross. In one dumpster I found about 8 books (perfectly good condition), 7 bottles of nail polish, flip flops, jazz shoes, sparkly letters, and many, many other things. This skirt was actually pulled out of a garbage can outside of a dorm room. There was a cute little skirt right on top without any flaws, and then below a bit of actual trash was this gem. I considered leaving it at first, it touching trash and being a bit faded, but after scouring the entire dorm building and coming back, I realized it was too good to leave. So I washed it incredibly well, and now it is one of my favorites!!!
