Paying it Forward

Drew made up "The Raid: Redemption" by suggesting our favorite past time, finding a bargin. After a hearty lunch of Korean BBQ and sushi, we headed out to our first stop, GW by Goodwill off Rollingwoods. If you have ever been to a goodwill before, you should clear any preconceived notions of it. The GW by Goodwill is formatted in a boutique style. It is a quiet little store filled with high quality donations that are well kept and organized. From books to polos, you'll be able to find more labels than worn love. Though we didn't purchase anything that day, I would love to go back and possibly get those J.Crew Pale Pink Chino Shorts that were exactly my size or the BCBG Blue and Green Printed Dress for $18. Yes, I said/wrote $18. 

Oh a whim, I told Drew about Frock on Vintage, one of my favorite vintage shops around Austin now a days and just right around the corner. 

Drew hit the jackpot when we found a pair of unhemmed brilliant blue tuxedo pants that looked close to unworn and in his exact size. What sweetened the deal? They were $18 and just a little extra to get them hemmed in house. 

Luckily we pondered into the store on a Saturday during their "$2 Bin Sale".

The in house alterations seamstress that was so helpful when Drew needed his newly bought pants hemmed. She even got him to switch into shoes in the store to get an accurate measurement. 

 Where business takes place.


Saturday was a pretty busy day for Frock on Vintage. Since it is a vintage store, they do welcome sales for any treasures crowding your closet. If you could though, I would recommend going in on a weekday just so they can look through your clothes promptly.

The ridiculous American Flag Tie that Drew insisted he buy for a Formal event next Friday Night. 

We compromised on the tie being a possibility...maybe. 

play well&live accordingly,
