On June 29 at 5:34 PM, Rebecca emailed a post-game analysis of her experience at the latest Housing Works’ Warehouse Sale. Read on to see me get totally SCHOOLED in the art of thrift. Hi Cheap JAP, Just wanted to tell you about my finds at my 2nd trip to the Housing Works Warehouse Sale in L.I.C. I got there at 10 and there was a line about 50 people deep. Once in, it was beautiful chaos from the moment I walked in. Items were strewn everywhere, on the floor, on the bins. I found so many great items that I filled 2 bags and therefore spent $40 on all these items, plus some I forgot: -Suede Armani Collezioni blazer for my father -Black silk Armani Collezioni tank -Dana Buchman hooded tweed vest with shearling interior -Calypso white terrycloth beach cover-up -Rock and Republic dark skinny jeans -Helmut Lang jeans- some sort of project will ensue -Armani Collezioni tweed pants -Express Black pants -Velvet long-sleeve tee with pleated collar -Theory Turtleneck -2 GAP polos for Dad -Theory sweater coat w/ original belt still attached - J & Company studded thermal henley Those are only some of the amazing finds I found! I was there for over 2 hours and had the best time! Was looking around to spot you but I guess you didn’t make it. All in all a very successful day! Holy SHITBALLS, Rebecca. This haul doesn’t just prove that your shopping prowess rivals even my own. It makes you a thrifting legend – it’s effing EPIC! Finding stuff for your Dad as well as for yourself was uber-thoughtful too; that’s the kind of move that ensures solid shopping karma for liiiife. I’m pissed I didn’t make it to Queens that day, and not just because I missed out on what was obvs one hell of a hunt. What I really regret is not being able to see you in action – it appears I’ve got a thing or two to learn about All-You-Can-Stuff Bag Sales. Well. Done. You. :) MWAH! Cheap JAP
