Pop Couture

I love the idea of a thrift shop.
For the simple reason that the Beatles concert tee from 1965 is actually from 1965 and not from Target’s Fall 2006 line. It was danced in. Sweated in. Slept in. And those seven lovely letters that adorn the front of the shirt were naturally and genuinely distressed.
I love the idea of a thrift shop for its authenticity.
Have I ever personally found anything at one? No. But i'm optimistic.
