I embarked on my journey into the peculiar land of Nosh
Opping today. It is truly a strange country;
all credit cards had to be left at the border and there are no thrift
stores. I do not know how long I will last
here, but I am dedicated to exploring the currently uncharted region the locals
call The Giants Closet, so I will hold out as long as I am able.
For the first day of my expedition, I wore the following:
I paired a pleated skirt (thrifted) with a silk tank (Anna
& Frank, thrifted), an open open-weave cardigan (Eddie Bauer, thrifted),
animal print booties (80%20 via Piperlime), lion drop earrings (vintage), a
cameo bracelet (vintage) and a long necklace (thrifted).
The pleated skirt probably looks familiar as I wear it
often. The booties are also a favorite
of mine and have been seen before, but the silk blouse and the cardigan may be
less familiar. I actually found these
artifacts as I explored The Giants Closet today, which was encouraging. It is
my hope that I will find similarly pleasing items as I explore the region, but I
know this will not always be the case.
There are bound to be pitfalls filled with sharpened stakes and/or
ill-fitting clothes.
Pitfalls or no, I shall continue to document my progress in
Nosh Opping, and The Giants Closet, for as long as I am able to resist the lure
of thrift stores in the outside world.
Happy Wednesday, All!
Gracey
P.S. For those of you wondering what the heck I’m talking
about, this post will help explain.
