I was hitting up some thrift stores yesterday, since it is getting close to Halloween. This is my FAVORITE time of year for thrifting. Oh, what's that thrift stores? You're just gonna stock-pile all your vintage, uniforms, and weird stuff all summer then PUT IT OUT ALL AT ONCE?!? I'm there! I bought so much awesome stuff (plus, I had coupons!) One of my favorite things I found is this...
Yes, and I know olive military stuff is the haps right now, and this one is very thin and soft and worn in (new army-issued shirts are incredibly thick and stiff)... and there is a cute eagle patch over the left pocket and an awesome dragon patch on the right arm... BUT THEN... I TURN AROUND and WHAMMO!
Most amazing shirt ever. Period. I can just imagine some drafted army guy having his special lady sew this up (it's all done by hand!) to go to Vietnam war protests and then I want to start weeping from the inside out. Which happens 10 times a day anyway, everything is just so beautiful and awful, I'm constantly in a state of awe. Good lord, I swear I'm not this guy...
Anyway, the pants are from Target and the shoes are Frye. Go have yourself a weepingly wonderful weekend (God, I love/hate alliteration).
