Two Buck Pick-Me-Up

Ok, so the grunge-queen has gone out the last few nights and her posts have not been so sparky - forgive me, fellow grungers.

Thrift stores are havens for tacky brooches and pins. Even at good 'ole Value Village, you can find 'em for a $1.99

I steer clear of the snowmen and go for the simple pins, as a rule - and lately the ones I've been digging are circular. I found this gold-tone leaf pin on my way home tonight at Salvation Army for $1.69 - not in the showcase but in this crappy plastic container near the cash.

Again near the cash at another thrift shop, this silver-tone pin was a mere buck. I wear this one on the lapel of a blazer, and the heavier gold one is coat-worthy.

COMING TOMORROW: Sexy chic boho-chic outfit with a weird orange blazer and a short velvet mini - who would of thought??
