New Goodwill Fan

This year for Halloween, I'm finally going as Freddie Mercury...I say finally because it's something I've been wanting to do for at least four Halloweens. Anyway, I'll talk more about the outfit later, because this post is about how I procured the pants I needed for the outfit.

Finding a pair of white-washed-looking jeans that fit me well almost certainly meant heading to large warehouse-like used clothes stores, searching mostly through women's jeans instead of men's, as these sections tend to have a larger selection and the sizes fit me better. Well, after trying out two kinda trashy used clothes stores, I decided to head over to Goodwill.

Little did I know how awesome, clean, and well-organized it was going to be. I spent probably over an hour pouring through their women's clothing, and although I was sad to see a lot of great pieces that were just a bit too small, I did end up finding not only the jeans I was seeking, but also a cool jean jacket (which I've been wanting for awhile now), a green blazer, and a classic Adidas blue/white track jacket, all of which fit me well. The best part of the whole thing was that the total cost for these four pieces of clothing was only $20!

I think I've found my new favorite place to shop!
