April 9, 2013







Earrings: found in house (free-ish)
Vest: mall 
Shirt: Oberlin Big Swap (free)
Shorts: Sirens ($14)
Tights: thrift store in San Francisco ($6)
Rain Boots: free box (free) (tie dye duct tape added by me)


So this one time I was in a giant thrift store in San Fran, and there were so many things I wanted, but I was paying for this entire trip (both plane rides, where we were staying, public transport, food, etc.) out of my own pocket, so I only had so much extra spending money. I found two pairs of awesome tights, (these, which look like stained glass, and another pair of pink and yellow 70's psychedelic floral patterned), and I knew that I wanted them. Unfortunately, they were about $15 each--too much for my budget. So When I went up to the counter, I tried my hand at haggling the price. ('Twas my first time.) I asked to haggle, the guy at the counter seemed apprehensive, I offered $15 for both. He looked like he was going to shake his head no. I smiled, about to offer a bit more, and he said "How about $12 for both?" To which I responded with an incredibly quick "Absolutely!" I am fully aware that this is not normally how haggling works...but hey, I'll take it!
