Had a good night. The blue yeezys are haunting me. Why make such a good quality fake in a colorway that was never produced? I like the color though, they're super comfy and I wouldn't know how to unload them, so I may keep, unless a regular poster here is a 10 (I'm a 10.5 and they fit fine) and can't live without them. That wasn't my only disappointment, the beautiful EZ DUO in my size was modified for a Mr. T. Rex. Gustin are both 36" if anyone is interested.

10, you say? My real pirate blacks are a 10, and wouldn’t mind some friends...

I personally don't get the yeezy thing. I think if they were just Adidas they would tank but people feed into marketing.

Because hypebeast. Apparently, the Boost technology is a scarce thing, hence the price tag.

Side note: Why all the Alden hate and golf divot chatter? Does not compute.

Some recent smalls in the shoe/accessories department. Can someone help me with these Brooks Brothers loafers. They say "Brooks Brothers Fleece" tagged size is 6m. Are they women's? Also, I've seen that line but I keep getting unrelated searches about golden fleece/black fleece.

Top to bottom: Brooks penny loafers (current?), AE Paxtons, Brooks espadrilles (weird, tagged as an EU 41)...bummer they're not my size, Burberry shades, Oakley A-wires, Persols and I'm guessing this is a current Talbott?, and last but not least Magli cap toes.

Oops. I thought if I said it out loud it would make it true. That’s how it works right?

Thank you! I thought I had seen one in a size 12 so I was thinking kids/women. Tried to argue my case at Goodwill but alas, 5 is the kids cut off for them.

I know people might be protective with their spots, but anyone got tips for NY stores? The Housing Works prices are a joke

The best stores in NYC don't got parking lot, and it wouldn't be thrift if you are paying for city parking. You'll have to do them subway style.

Thrift related kid stuff. Today is Carnival at my son's school and the theme is Día de Muertos (all the kids love Coco). I thrifted my son's costume and did a bit of painting to put my own spin on the theme

It was a late night ...
