thrifting! (i got a light blue sweater, a different light blue sweater, a black skirt and dark blue velvet pants. also a neat chinese silk quilted reversible jacket which i ended up giving to my mother because it really suited her better. i'm much more a knit and corduroy brown and blue and green sort of person, not black and bright colors and shiny things.)
