Thrift shops include flea markets, charity shops, second-hand or vintage outlets. Thrift shopping is something I have a real talent for, it can not be denied! A woman said to me recently
you won’t be lucky to find something as nice as that in a hurry
referring to my snazzy sneakers. I guess not everyone is lucky in that way so I did not share the words of the voice in my head that said I find beautiful things for next to nothing all the time.
To get things rolling I shall start with a possible all-time favourite and aforementioned marvel; my ghetto fabulous, endorphin stimulating, pan-generational Cameo pants. Since unearthing these extraordinary leggings in a basket at the hugely popular Dublin Flea Market some two years ago I have received an endless channel of compliments, comments and enquiries all of a most positive nature. Last Thursday for example they were appreciated by two members of the fairer sex: one a pensioner the other a two-year-old.
These could be the love of my life or at least a major affair and I can envision the day when I’ll recall them wistfully to myself. Either that or they go the distance and I am prancing about a la Westwood in them at seventy.
It is rare for me to get such mileage out of a piece of clothing and there are likely be many more words on the subject because as Michael Jackson quite rightly pointed out back in 1980, love needs expression.

We are a special breed. Thanks for commenting and for stopping by my blog aspinalllucy.
I had tights like this as a kid and I looooooved them. An Aunty brought them over from Hong Kong. I love your tights they look like they’d make you want to dance. 😀
Hi Ro. I am glad you like the leggings. Yes they make me want to dance and jump and they bring out the exhibitionist in me!
Love the tights! I have a slight addiction to thrift. https://www.sutherntwang.com
