Well, gosh...
I could get a pair of plaid pants at Hot Topic for $60, or I can get the same pair at the Goodwill for $6. Um...which one will I choose?

I've walked into Hot Topic on occasion and while I wish something like that existed in my youth, at my advanced age I'd look pretty ridiculous dressing like a teenager so I have to vote for the old thrift stores. Lord knows I've gotten terrific clothes (a
