You Don’t Have to be Rich to Buy Rich & Skinny Jeans
Is the Hell’s Kitchen Salvation Army a bitch and a half to thrift? Yes.
Can a thorough browse at the Hell’s Kitchen Salvation Army result in a pair of legit Rich & Skinny Jeans? Also yes.
These denim dreams were originally priced at $14.99; I happened to find them on a half-off-all-green-tags day, hence their ludicrously low price of $7.99.
So. What do you do when you snag $220 jeans for $7.99?
Tee hee.
Sidebar: I accidentally chucked the hard evidence. My bad. BUT – I have an alibi!
Those audacious enough to doubt my thrifting skillz are advised to swing by the amazing AuH20 and ask the even-more-amazing Kate Goldwater for confirmation re: all the above.

I think today I was channeling your inner cheap jap-iness because this Canadian jap scored a deal worthy of letting you know about! I have an orthodox jewish wedding coming up and was informed last night that ankle length gowns (a staple in my wardrobe) would be inappropriate and i needed to find a classic suit. So I hauled ass to the local goodwill thinking I had two weeks to hit every thrift store in the city in hopes of finding something cheap enough to buy yet nice enough to look JAP like. Williamsburg wedding afterall.
I walked into the store and on the wall was a jones new york classic brown suit!! And better yet, the price read 6.69. It must not be my size I think, but it is! AND EVEN BETTER?? I get to the till to find that it is 60% off so it was 2.64. It is still on the jones new york website for 240.00!!!
SCORE!!!!!!!!!!
