i usually do not have awesome bargain shopping stories to tell (like, i wish i could say that i once found some secret/rare/mythical/ancient/dan brown-esque book in a charming but forgotten little thrift store) because i don't go to thrift stores very often. but this semester, i have been converted to this small thing called D.I.
i'm proud to say i've found quite a few little gems there-some really cute clothes, a few sweatshirts (D.I. sweatshirts are a college student's rite of passage, duh) and best of all....fabio. the apartment boyfriend. the best back massager ever. whatever you want to call him. i'm pretty sure he was made in the dinosaur age and is unnaturally loud. but he can punch my knots in the face like no one's fist can.
anyway. the other day, abby and i drove to idaho falls for the day to look around. (sometimes a girl just needs a break from rexburg to remember she used to be a city slicker.) (i'm being sarcastic.) (but seriously.)
i went to journey's to try on a pair of sperry topsiders and marvel at them in the mirror. if only i had $90 to buy them, i would most definitely be happy forever. (it's statistically proven that sperry topsiders increase your long term happiness by 300%.) but i didn't get them. that blasted conscience of mine reminded me that i have no such money. we went to the D.I. afterwards and while passing the men's shoe section abby said,
"are those sperry's???"
indeed they were. brown, leather and gorgeous. or cool, i should say. they are men's shoes. they fit. they were $6. my conscience told me i do have such money! so i bought them.
