Lately my mom has been very understanding with me and my teenage female ~needs~ and has taken me to a few thrift shops in the towns surrounding my own. A few weekends ago they were all closed and we decided to give it another try this weekend. We visited a few thrift shops and a (quite expensive) boutique. I looked for pretty skirts and dresses but my much-too-small body and much-too-picky taste prevented me from finding anything. I spotted a few vinyl records, but alas, I own no turntable. After my unsuccessful search for clothes, I resorted to looking through books, CDs, and home decor but I didn't find much there either. At some point, I spotted these plain brown loafers that were only $3 and I immediately adored them. They're so cute :3
My little sister kept calling them "old-lady shoes" while laughing and my father and mother asked with troubled looks on their faces: "Are you sure you want those?" I suppose they still haven't realized that I'm not much of a typical teenager, but whatever.
These two pictures don't capture the true color of the shoes at all (they are actually the color of the first picture) but they're for a closer look.
Finally after shopping we stopped by a grocery store and bought some fruit. After that, we stopped by Barnes and Noble where my parents bought The Secret by Rhonda Byrne as a gift for someone. I looked around for No Direction Home, the Bob Dylan documentary by Martin Scorsese, but instead found this book that was on sale for $6.98
I might scan some pictures and upload them at some point if I don't forget or become too lazy. But here's a sneak peek:
and that's my day in a nutshell! I had such a good time with my family and I'm grateful for the things that I bought.
P.S. I promise to improve my writing skills for future posts. :)
