THE GOOD WILL, WILL DO!

For the past four or five years i have had an on going love affair with the GOODWILL. I love the fact that its a place in which people can clean out there closets and provide a good deed all in one. Its a time when a woman can face the fact that maybe after three kids the little black dress is now the little black disaster. Its the time when a woman can surrendor all her clothes from the 80's and enter 2010 with the rest of us. My point is while throwing out there past they are helping someone else's future. And than its the gift that keeps giving because that LBD that no longer fits you may fit me perfectly and rather paying department store prices i grab it for $6.99!!! And then my money goes to place that will benefit more than just the company. Well at least thats how it goes in my brain. But the real reason i love love looooooove the GW is because its a challenge and the thrill of the hunt. I mean lets face it....80 percent of the stuff in the GW is used, abused and not worth a penny with a hole in it. But once you run across the rare 20 percent its like a little piece of heaven or Trey Songz has landed in your lap. That Trey Songz is so beautiful that i think its a sin just to look at him. But anywho back to the orignial subject....When i enter the GW it forces me to go in open minded becuase if i focus on one thing specifically i will be disappointed. The GW doesnt guarentee to have this seasons styles it just guarentee's low prices. And it is up to me to make whatever I pick up to look amazingly current and fresh. Because no one actually wants to look like they shop in the used goods section.  But after I find my treasure the real fun begins when i leave the GW and hit the mean streets of Houston. When I get to decieve people by looking expensive for less. And im sure any fashionista can agree that i get more compliments when im in a piece from the GW or any thrift store than i do when im walking around in Fendi. Its the catch 22 of fashion and i freaking love it.
