Last Saturday I took off to Queens to share in Housing Works much talked about Buy the Bag event. After a minor address mix up and an unneeded tour of Queens I finally made it to the warehouse where the buying frenzy was held. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Buy the Bag is a thrifting event sponsored by Housing Works where attendees can purchase clothing and accessories by the bag, priced at $25 per bag load. I was able to walk away with some cool stuff but will say that it was quite the experience. I walked in to the warehouse only to see swarms of people and clothing just about everywhere but the ceiling. With only about hour to do my shopping I had no time to take in the crazy scene. I jumped in thrifter mode and went sailing for some wardrobe treasures. Click inside to see what I picked up .
