The Best Accidental Finds of Your Life, or Someone Else's Life For That Matter

[lafarat]

My dear friend, bless her heart, has blossomed into a beautiful Sweet lolita. I'm very proud of how far she's come. That said, I am green to the gills with envy and, for about 10 minutes after she told me about her find, impotent, frustrated rage. We're both deal hounds, and as such, we both frequent thriftstores, looking for blouses and other

Oh my gosh! That's amazing! Sadly, nothing like that has ever happened to me...

I love this topic! It reminds me of that old story of someone finding Moitie in a thrift store ♥

Someone found Moitie!?

I'm still unsure if this was ever confirmed, but I remember it being mentioned here on egl a few times over the years XD

I did find an h.Naoto distressed sweater at Buffalo Exchange on the 50% off rack. I haven't worn it and since I'm transitioning styles, I may be selling it soon.

I looove going to flea markets and thrift shops. :D I've made some nice finds during the years. My best finds have been at flea markets. I've found a "The bitter end" sweater by Banana Fish. It was pretty popular when everyone was into creepy-cute. I paid 5 euros for it

... I may actually just hate you and your luck. You have turned me jade.

That said, I don't quite understand what would make a girl donate it all. I asked the same question when I found out the price of that IW blouse my friend found. She could just sell it for a tidy sum on the second-hand market!

I once found a H. Naoto Honey jsk at a thrift store for 17 dollars :) And I have seen things in the past at thrift stores from brand, it is rare but I cross my fingers every time I go that I might find something again!
