It's always a treat to discover some unique piece of clothing at a reduced price. Walking through my neighborhood this past weekend I happened upon a tag sale that had some great clothing items for sale. I stopped to nab a few things and was further inspired to spend when I found out the sale was to raise money for a shelter dog who'd just had puppies. This Oscar de la Renta knit came to a whopping $2.00, and my new, Free People maxi skirt was a direct trade at Crossroads later that same day. The price of thriftiness is a classic look for summer, bought for pennies on the dollar.
But the reality is that a part of my frugal shopping was pure distraction, a tactic to have something else to focus on, if only for a little while. This past weekend my husband's university lost members of its community when a young man armed with multiple firearms entered the campus adjacent neighborhood of Isla Vista and killed half a dozen people while injuring several more. I was thinking long and hard about the people who lost their lives during my weekend home in Santa Monica with my husband. So all I can say today is, take the time to love the people you're with. Remember to say and do everything you can. Because you never know what tomorrow will bring.
