Yes indeed, it is Wednesday. And that means 50% from 3pm - 5pm at the Army. The trick is though... the professionals come out round that time too... so it's slim-pickin's after some time.
Solution? Go early and hide stuff. I've stashed mine in the XXL and size 36 sections. Yes it's a lot of dedication to save $10 in the end, but someone's got to do it!
There will be crazies.
For example, the crazy woman today who always tells me about Bay-St Laurent tried to hide my things in a television stand. As if that's less obvious... clothes sticking out of the furniture. I put my foot down on this one. I'm sticking to my old stubborn ways. Also too, I was the one who told her about 50% day AND how to hide things ahead to of time- to which she was pleasantly surprised ....
and then she told me she was a regular and that she knew where best to hide things (ie. the furniture). Interesting for someone who didn't know about the sale... trust no one.
Then there was the lady who was sifting through my own belongings when I exited the change room... she had my raincoat in hand. Punched her out... not really though.. just nicely asked for it back. She was reluctant.
So the point is: be aggressive and stealthy.
Hm... I hope Bay St-Laurent didn't steal my dresses... she saw my game plan. Darn it.
Anyway, a few pictures from some recent thrifting.
I love this skirt! The faux buttons are SVEET. It's my Amelia Earheart skirt. She never wore anything like it... but if it had existed, she would have.
plus my sixty-year old fisherman friend Chief said it looked really sharp. So there.
No tag. Haw! Maybe it WAS Amelia's!
Skirts- can't go wrong. You'll notice how plain-jane the white one is. Nothing out of the ordinary, but give that baby a try on and you'll be catching eyes all round town. Hence- always try it on.
