EL PASO – Some people like everything new. They don’t like the idea of wearing clothes, sitting on couches, or driving vehicles that others have used before them. I don’t understand these people. Another group has become so obsessed with the past that they spend their lives looking for particular items from particular countries or centuries or companies deemed to be of value. I don’t understand these people either.
EL PASO — I have found amazing valuables while thrift shopping that will probably remain with me forever. Some of those have been a vintage monogram Louis Vuitton tote from The Label Exchange, another time I found a classic empire waist dress from Vintage Mode, and I found an awesome flower print clutch when I stumbled into a garage sale in Tokyo once. These are the items I treasure the most. The ones I find while traveling because they also bring fun memories along. I think I started thrift shopping when I was 12 or 13.
