This is just a fabulous piece thrifted from the hole-in-the-wall Goodwill in the Central West End while searching for a Halloween costume in 2009. I walked past it, stared at it, and then kept walking, telling myself that I didn’t NEED it. I was there to find items for a Halloween costume and not for the purpose of adding something else to my accessory collection. Needless to say, I couldn’t leave without it; the kelly green Liz Claiborne purse from the ’80s was mine, and it was less than 10 dollars. The funny thing is that I ended up tailoring my whole Halloween costume around that purse, and if you’re ever in need of inspiration, places like this are perfect for piecing together creative, sexy costumes. I just love finding something amazing when it was unexpected.
