If no-pony knows this, I have bought a few items from the Thrift Store before. That store has been there for a long time (since I was a kid I guess) and that one of my favorite high school teachers (whom I bet are moved or retired from that high school by now) bought really nice clothes from there.
Anyway, I have "lost" two of my pants (one of them is from "The Unexpected Event" (
[link]) and so far i'm lacking any more fancy-pants wear. Top of that my mom suggest that I should stock on new ones... Because she does care about "appearance gets your motivation up" or so say from a few who do take care of their fashion... Plus I NEED more pants anyway!
So she gave me $30 to shop while my sis and bro are away to Pasadena to a art museum while my mom goes to work. Which leaves me home alone and I want fresh air at the plaza just right across my "gated home community".
Because I am a TOTAL CHEEPSCAKE when it comes to pants-wear, and thought I would do this the economic way by going to the Thrift Store I mentioned. Not my first: I bought my ponies and usagimimi before and it doesn't hurt alot. It took me time to find the right pants, but I felt happy to find a few pairs that can only be bought from here... Even though they were donated and wat-nat. So I paied for my clothes, shop at 99Cents Only Stores, and well... I did other things like checking the post office to see if it's open and ship =
Imaranx's artpieces (gift art + art trade for my pony avi)... Which it was closed on weekends. e.e;
Back home and laid my pants on the laundry basket. Fast-forward to where my family members arrive home, my mom is curious about the pants I bought. She looked at the basket and first glamored at the black jeans with bits of gems decorated on it (I think that's my fave so far). But then her confusion kicks in. After I explained about the Thrift Store (she doesn't understand what i'm saying) and she substituted it to "sencond-hand shop"...
And that's where things gets nasty for just a tiny little thing. My mom is very cautious at the items stock at the Thrift Store, panicking that it may be clothing that may belong to "someone who passed away"... What.
DO I EVEN CARE!? Jeez! I do not want to spend this big money on VERY EXPENSIVE pants, when I can get the
SAME THING (well depends on luck-stock)
for CHEEP! But noooo... She always want to play safe and buy the same thing, but brand new, and for a bit higher.
So... I am mad once again at another of her sudden behaviors and reactions on small things. With such economic hardships at poor Sunny-Cal, I don't care much on my "bottom" looks as long I got my favorite shirts ($22+ is the only high-cost I spend on 1 Pinkie Pie shirt....)... I guess I should have just better off using sweats and my mom's home-sitched pants. I am really,
REALLY TIRED of this. I make my choices and even though it's risky (hell i'm not afraid of dying anymore if I believe in my "own kind of heaven"), I am happy at my used yet FRESH pretty bottom-wears.
