crankyoldman: "Hermann, you don't have to salute, man." [Pacific Rim] (scarlet)
As you all know, I am not above rescuing other people's cast off clothes. In fact, I've gotten it down to a science. It's really all about timing and location. If you are anywhere near a college campus (which I have either been on one or at least 20 mins away from one... my entire life) then you have access to some hip secondhand clothes, oftentimes entirely free. Recently had a good haul, because some sorority girl decided to clean out her closet. This means a lot of "hip" basics that are off-trend, which is never something I care about anyway. Some basics are always fantastic. Like cableknit sweaters and henleys and button-up cardigans.

Just when I was thinking I needed more of those things too.

There is also something vaguely karmic to some of the things I find, like stuff from Holister or American Eagle or Other Trendy Mall Store I Am Always Afraid to Go Into. I have to wonder how much the original owner paid for it, and how often they ended up wearing it (usually... not much from the looks of the stuff). Also, the whole Green movement means that instead of in the dumpster like I would have had to find things (no, I do not jump into dumpsters) they are conveniently in boxes out for anyone to find.

I just have to make sure to throw some things of my own in the box, lest I accumulate too much. XD

Back to math study.
