Last October, I spotted an academic robe in the thrift store's Halloween section. It smelled like moth balls, but it was $1.50!! I know it might be hard to believe, but these robes cost hundreds of dollars. I've been renting one for graduation ceremonies ever since I graduated (at $40 a pop... which is such a complete waste of money!). So you can imagine how excited I was to score this number... and perfectly happy to take it straight to the dry cleaner (where it cleaned up great for $7). I wore it last Saturday for my college's graduation... and I told everyone who would listen the story of my thrift store robe. No one could believe my luck. It just goes to show that you really never know what you'll find at the thrift store!
