Second hand clothes, first class style
By Lisa Glsen
EtxfT Reporter
Polyester double knitii, big flowery
prints mi bargrJns abound at Linctln
thrift shops.
At Community Thrift, 1717 0 St.,
there are three dres3 racks, according to
price: 49 cents, 79 cents and $1.49 and
up (for really big spenders). I slowly
began to realize that my $15 thrift
shopping spree sponsored by the gen
erous Daily Nebraskan was going to be
more fruitful than I had thought.
I began to unearth bargains by the
bushel. At first I was dismayed by the
masy racks of unsized and unsightly
clothes.
A3 I thumbed through the racks,
checking each of my finds for tears and
discoloration, I began to vender just
who had worn these clothes before, and
what they had done while they were
wearing them. I had discovered part of
the magic cf shopping at a thrift store
but I had to get back to business.
I found my skirt ($2.51), shirt ($2.97)
and gloves (50 cents) In the Vintage
section of Goodwill Industries, 1717 0
St. My companion and I unearthed the
earrings (30 cents) in a dusty box
under the store's display counter.
We discovered the shoes for 99 cents
(and just my size) at Community Thrift.
The necklace ($1.50) from Salvation
Army, 737 P St., provided a final touch.
I exited the Salvation Army with my
$8.71 wardrobe complete more than
$8 under budget. Near the entrance I
noticed a sign (right under a posted
warning to "select items carefully, no
refunds or exchanges.") It read "Though
our program many men are rehabili
tated and restored to families . . .Your
contributions and purchases make this
possible."
For only $8.71 I had become a
fashion plate and saved a wayward soul
kinda malces a gal feel good inside.
