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
-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!

Yay!
