Armed with new shoes! LET’S HIT THE STREETS.
As a known thrift store junkie, my Sister rolls her eyes when I tell her I want to go shopping. I lived at thrift stores in Miami! Like an archeological dig, finding the store with the great stuff and good prices is always a Voila! moment. So, when the undistinguished “Thrift Store” popped up on Fairfax with a rack full of 99 cent t-shirts and pastel shorts in front, just a block from the Jewish eatery Canter’s, I was elated. I’m not sure if at first start the owner of this particular panoply of wares knew the what she really had in stock – designer coats, shoes and bags were often marked below their market value – but with time however, prices have slowly crept upwards. Fortunately, prices are in accordance to the pieces’ state and (if applicable) label. Sigh. Still, this modest store that sits alongside Jewish bakeries, skate/surf retailers and stale newspaper stands is usually worth a visit for blazers, skirts and dresses (and shoes if you’re a size six).
LET’S TAKE A LOOK:

My Sister loved this jacket, and therefore bought it. See, I told her it was worth the trip, even if the place smells like dusty shelves and febreeze.
