Just discovered that WordPress has an android app and wanted to check it out… even though I know how much I hate typing on my phone.
I wanted to share some thoughts on today’s sermon, but perhaps more poignant reflections belong to the computer. If anything, I’ll share a more superficial topic at striking my best thrift find of my
life.
The goodwill I frequent tends to have pretty good selection of trendy clothes and brand names reflecting the socioeconomic status of the area. Unfortunately they often overprice these items as well. On Friday, I was about done looking around when they wheeled out a new rack of clothes and I decided to take a look. I found this dress which happened to be a Diane von Furstenberg silk jersey dress, retails for $350…

… for $7.50. I couldn’t believe it, since I bought h&m cotton button-up for the same price last week. Even if I don’t keep it, on eBay dvf dresses go for around $100+. Seriously, unbelievable find since I never can find anything at thrift stores.
I also picked up this silk vintage skirt for $4.50, which fits me like a glove and looks so anthro.

I lucked out with two pure silk items I LOVE for $12! Starting to understand why people love thrift shopping! My parents are a little appalled though.

Silence on this front mostly because I wrote a long post while in HK, and it’s now lost into internet oblivion. Then I lost all motivation for rewriting it and that is why.

No deep ruminations, other than I feel like I’ve been a hermit since Christmas. Some have taken offense to that, some just understand that it’s part of my routine of seeing people every once in a while, although it is more pronounced at this point.

Man, I am bad at keeping in touch.

I am also bad at writing consistently in my blog.

Well, here’s one down, many more to go.
