As one does over the weekend of the 4th of July, we visited a thrift shop somewhere on our road trip in Connecticut. Purely a coincidence.
It takes a little bit the attention away from the colourful blue-red-white striped picnics and bbqs on the beach and in the park. No pressure.
We walked into Mrs Thrift Shop’s living room, dining area and up the stairs to the bedrooms.
At first, it felt a bit strange, like looking into somebody’s private memorablia…
Furniture and personal belongings were put aside so we easily could browse the racks full of clothes nicely separated by ‘theme’.
And ‘ bingo ‘, the Boys did find a real ‘ fashion treasure ‘ :
A jacket style jumper from Pierre Cardin for 4$ and a checked shirt from Ralph Lauren for 2$.
That was double luck to find a typical French designer and a well known American one!!
We rounded it up with a bright yellow Nautica bomber rain jacket for 5$.
That is what we all like about a thrift shop : to buy a precious designer piece at a bargain.
It’s a very satisfying feeling of Mission Accomplished !
We went of course back to the beach to have our typical hotdog and cool local beer while our necks were longing for the festive fireworks .
The perfect scenario for the Fourth of July weekend, topped up with a fashion find.
