Heatwave and Sky High Shoulder Pads

I'm fairly certain I bought the two ugliest items thrifting today. I'm 100% certain that I love the color orange way too much. 


Even Buckley can't stand the sight of my purchases.

I present to you...the Heatwave:

I am praying the hot button isn't stuck in place.

After seeing this retro beauty I convinced myself that I've always wanted a personal instant heater and/or fan for all those times that I'm chilled/sweaty and too lazy to get up and adjust the thermostat. I proceeded to check out without seeing how well it functioned, and had a small panic attack on the way home about how much electricity this sucker probably eats through. 

I shall report back later on its functionality.

More eye candy for you. You will be seeing more of this in a separate post. I will tell you only this: It has shoulder pads so big you could cock your head to the side and take a nap on them.

Do you spy a beagle?

Today's poignant thrifting observation:


When you go the thrift store looking quite homeless, you will receive a lot of flack from the cashier about whether you actually donated a bag of stuff in order to get your 20% discount. When you go back later that night, freshly showered, to pick up some records for a friend you'll be treated like the Duchess of Wales. Thrifting twice in one day is a new low.
