Yesterday I did something I don't do very often. I went into a thrift store. Don't get me wrong, thrift stores can be awesome places to find really fun things, but they also smell like someone died in there. Therefore, I don't go in them very often. I decided to go check out one of the local thrift stores here and see what they had. Twenty minutes later I walked out with three dresses for under 20 bucks. Score! Now, if you're anything like me and your upper body is a different size than your lower body (and i'm talking like two sizes different at least) buying stuff without trying it on can be risky. So, when I brought home my three dresses (one of which is a 60 dollar Vera Wang dress), I tried them on and, as expected, they fit perfectly on top and a little snug on the bottom. Did this depress me? No! I've just decided to utilize this awesome place called a tailor. So, i'm turning at least one of them into a shirt (it was definitely on the short side anyway so it wasn't going to be a normal dress...), and letting out areas of the last one. Since I already had a dress that needed to go to the tailor after an unfortunate zipper incident at my cousin's wedding (final outcome: I got sewn into my dress), they'll be like a little family instead of all by their lonesome in a scary new place. Now, I just have to actually put myself in my car and do this...
Moral of the story: Don't take your clothes at face value. You can change them!
