stuff i bought recently

I finally convinced my mom to go thrifting with me which is kind of a miracle because she really dislikes the notion of being poor that comes with buying secondhand clothing (even though half of our furniture is from Goodwill heh). Another pair of eyes is really better than one when it comes to thrifting especially if it's my mom's because she has something like a sixth sense for flaws and durability of clothes... moms...

There's nothing wrong with finding good, inexpensive clothes that were worn by others before (okay I put back a Buzz Lightyear t-shirt because it had a sweat stain under the armpits that even Goodwill's holy bleach couldn't remove but that's usually not the case!!) and I would wish that some people could get over that thinking.. but that would mean less treasures for me heh..

We were actually on our way to buy coconut juice in San Jose when we stopped en route at the stores. (I've been drinking a can like every day.) The Goodwill at San Mateo is the most organized one I've seen so far. Everything was organized by color and size which saved me a lot of time and trouble.

This top kind of reminds me of a schoolgirl outfit though without the skirt it looks more like a waitress's top hehe. There are cushiony pads underneath the shoulders and I'm guessing they're there to make my shoulders look more sharp so sharp it could puncture the hull of an empire class Fire Nation battle ship, leaving thousands to drown at sea because.. it's so sharp.

Not really sure what to wear it with but it looks fine without a skirt too.

This silk blouse is a little big on me so I needa wear something over it to avoid looking like I forgot to change out of the other half of my pajamas. Really like the emblem-like print. I feel like some preppy kid wearing this lol.

I got this summer dress at Ross for 8 dollawrz... I thought the pattern was so cool, kinda like a Persian carpet. 

I'm really bad at this description thing. I swear there is a valley girl trapped inside me because I can't seem to stop starting every sentence in my mind with, "I totally had to get it because so-and-so-reason and it's really cool because I get to use it to wipe my ass later wait wut." Anyway, I'm not actually a crazy fan of the nerd Domo which is my least favorite version of him, but this USB hub looked pretty practical and looks like a decent conversation starter (a requirement I always ask myself before buying things that aren't clothes/shoes... no, even then it occasionally applies.) My mom is part of this rewards program at Best Buy so she gets this $10 coupon to use at the store.. Maybe I should've gotten a bunch of gum instead.. 

Then I find out the 2.0 on the back of the box means it's not compatible with my iPod cable and I have no idea what else I could use it for so now it just sits there all day mocking me ... fk.

My mom found this shirt when we were at Goodwill and said it was cute so I should add it to the basket. I fervently agreed with her recommendation because it's absolutely relatable and appropriate given the people I've had the misfortune of meeting during my life... Of course, she wouldn't have suggested it had she known what the words meant heheh...
