I’ll definitely have to check out the Salvation Army. If you’ve got any other suggestions for our thrift map, let us know!

I’d also recommend the 2-story Salvation Army in Lincoln Park near Ashland & Fullerton. It can get pretty overwhelming in there but there are good finds if you have the time– guess ladies are lucky in that we can try skirts/dresses on pretty easily.

Good call on the shorts…that probably would have worked. In my case, it helped that I had some long underwear beneath my jeans. Still was a little awkward, so it was also handy that there was a whole rack of huuuuge trenchcoats nearby. I’ll leave it at that.

The best I can come up with is to wear some basketball shorts to the store and just try pants on over them.

Also, why must all old women in those places be covered in scarves, don’t they know it’s not 1940′s Poland?

Nice score on the pants, they should last forever assuming you can keep the moths away. Also, that clothing label is awesome, that should just be the company’s logo.
