The Hidden Treasure

Cardigan: Marshall's | Camisole & Skirt: Forever 21 | Shoes: Missoni for Target via eBay
Clutch: Thrifted, BCBG via Plato's Closet
 
I've mentioned before that I'm the queen of finding things in stores that just so happen to be the last ones in my size. A sense of excitement and urgency comes over me if I'm absolutely in love with the treasure I've found. Not to mention if I'm thrifting and faced with the reality of something I find and love being the only one in the entire store. That feeling then turns into full blown urgency.

That's how I felt about this clutch. We met (the clutch and I) when I was returning something I had bought for Dwayne which **ahem** didn't quite fit him. (I'll let him tell that story himself one day...) It saw me first, I'm sure of it. I spotted it out of a crowd of other clutches, and I knew right away that we were meant to be. I had that feeling of urgency. But of course I had to play hard to get. I spent some time walking around the thrift store trying to determine if there was something else more worthy of my store credit, but I couldn't get the clutch off of my mind. So, I went back to the purse section. Without hesitation, the goodly clutch asked me to buy it. I politey obliged, and here we are today -- happily ever after.

Quite a romantic story, don't you think?
