Becks and I just returned from grocery shopping. I don't know about you, but I do not get prettied up to hit up Kroger on a Saturday morning. I do brush my teeth, but I totally rock my bedhead ponytail and yoga pants PJs. If I really want to gussy up, I might throw in some faux pearl studs - ya know, just in case I run into that hot guy from high school that I used to date.
Oh, wait. I'm married to that hot guy ;)
Anyway, Becks has been my date this weekend, accompanying me everywhere from Goodwill {yup, I'm thrifting again!}, to Baskin Robbins {bribery}, to the grocery story {we're out of milk. again.}. I love taking him along and getting to spend some one-on-one time with him.
This is the extent of Becks' character clothing. You know how I feel about it. Of course, it's like his favorite shirt. |
While Goodwilling produced some ah-mazing finds last night, I do have to tell you the absolutely unbelievable conversation I had with some 20-year-old chick. Let's just say my Momma Bear claws about came out. And I rarely feel the need to bar those.
Anyway, Becks and I were both wearing our Ugg boots. Fairly typical since we can't escape the snow around these parts. This girl immediately came over and started gushing over how cute he was wearing "those" boots. Then, she went over and told her co-worker she'd never seen a little boy wearing "girl" boots. Whatever. I continued to shop and blew her off.
I think these are not girly look at all. If you think so, don't tell me! |
She happened to be the one checking me out and continued to go on about the boots and how she can't believe he's wearing them. Then, and I am not exaggerating, this is what she says to me:
"You do know those are G-I-R-L boots, don't you?" {Yup, she even spelled out the word!}
Um, no, they are not GIRL boots. THE NERVE. They're grey, he's two, and they're snow boots. I told her they were totally unisex and she seriously frowned and shook her head and whispered, "No, they're not..." My blood was a-boilin', y'all. Girl's lucky I'm very non-confrontational, paid for my purchases, and then went on to call every member in my family to relay the story so I didn't wring her little neck. Shooooo, buddy.
So, on to the great find of the night...
A pair of Genetic Denim Cigarette Skinny Jeans in Silver that retail for - stop the world - $188!!!!
I only wish my butt looked that good in them! |
And the best part? Besides the fact that they're like brand new, it was 50% off clothes last night, so they were regularly $6.99 and I got them for $3.50! Ah! Loooooove and loooooooove. {PS. I live in the suburb of a biggish city, which is why I have pretty good luck finding designer duds.} And what are the odds they were my size in the waist and length? Had to be fate :)
Have you found anything good thrifting lately?
Happy Saturday, y'all!
