Some notes before watching:
• Taken with a less-than-high-quality built-in webcam and mic on a laptop. My DSLR's memory card can't write video data fast enough to take one!
• I talk kind of fast at points, too fast perhaps. This is due to slight anxiety -- not quite about making a video, but that people were walking by my room constantly, talking loudly and cleaning, and these are people who don't really even know I run this blog. With paper thin walls/doors, the idea of them overhearing me, or the video picking up on misplaced talking, was a large worry of mine. Lame, I know.
• This is why I played some possibly irritating music on the other computer, to create some ambient sound to drown them out. Alas, it's Indian instrumental stuff, so I don't know if the pitch or sound is going to be grating for anyone watching. Sorry if it is.
• Aforementioned music is George Harrison's Wonderwall Music.
• SOULMATES PREVIEW!
• I'm spacey (you might catch on to this, slightly, during the video) and completely forgot to comment on just how ridiculous I felt while thrifting: wearing velvet leggings, carrying three velvet shirts (at one point), velvet palazzo pants, and a velvet skirt. I looked like a crazed velvet-seeking lunatic. It was silly.

OOH GIRL, I like those wide-leg trousers you found! And that gorgeous paisley shirt. ;^; It reminds me of a crop-jacket I own that you'd just adore. So itching to go thrifting again.
ReplyDelete--you need to take the train to NYC some time and go to the Goodwill that's a rock's throw from the Met, because o. m. g. It's two stories and it is INTENSE; so much designer gets dropped there.
I looooove that long green velvet blouse you got! Totally got one today! I just came back from thrifting and I spent like $100 (as usual) and purchased two long velvet blouses to wear as dresses with a belt on the waist. Ugh I love velvet. Hence, Velvet Codeine.. Ha. When you said 'I can fix that' when you were talking about your really really high waisted bell bottoms, I totally thought about the black dude from Holes. Such a good movie, oldie, but still a goodie (did I really just say goodie????)! What a freakin' crazy coincidence! I also purchased a skirt by accident (I thought that I put it back on the rack since it was like $7.99), and when I got home I was really angry so I checked the receipt and it was on sale for $3.99 and I was so happy! It fit perfectly and yay! Glad it happened to the post of us.
