TIES

I officially have a tie fetish lately. I know I said I couldn't afford second-hand clothes, but I realized that Yellow Jacket is just way over-priced. So what I really liked there were the ties, and now I have bought about 15 new ties from Goodwill (in Kansas on a family visit), a random antiques store and Chicago's Village Discount Outlet. I love them all. Too bad I don't have a job where I have to wear ties. See, that would make it a normal purchasing spree. This lack of practicality makes it a full-on fetish. Anyhow, I love them.

Secondhand Change

Hey I was out walking around Chicago the other day, under the guise of "working" for the magazine I intern at, and I found a really cool vintage store called Yellow Jacket. But, at the same time, I realized I was too poor at that point in time to even afford second-hand clothes. Sad, right? But, I guess it's something that happens in college. I'd rather it happen now than when I'm 23, out of school and don't have the possibility of new employment right around the corner. That's what I've been telling myself lately, that a great job is just around the corner (i.e. after graduation) and I will be making BUNDLE$. Hmm we'll see how that goes.
