+1, and welcome to the thrifting addiction! You will also see yourself becoming more and more picky with thrift finds after you've been at it for awhile. When I started out, I would buy everything that I knew was "expensive" (ie: Hugo Boss, anything Armani, Tommy Bahama.....etc). I've thrown away hundreds of dollars on stuff I bought, never wore and ended up re-donating. Now, I only pick up stuff I know is high-quality and not dated.
