Honestly, it's definitely got potential! Happiness is finding absolute gems in a thrift store at lunchtime. Happiness is finding the perfect dress to wear to the upcoming weddings, not once but TWICE, which with a $9 price tag ... means that's $4.50 a pop! Happiness means knowing that no one else at the celebrations will be in the same dress 'cos really, what will be the odds of that seriously happening? Happiness is finding 1970s vintage sunglasses for $18 when designer copycats are selling them for over a hundred buckaroos (sucked in miss Nicole Ritchie!). Happiness is buying 1960s beads for $12 knowing that it was once someone's retail therapy, and therefore i get extra therapy from that. Happiness is buying a 1967 issue of LIFE magazine with Mia Farrow on the cover for $5 and getting a headspin from admiring the advertisements of the yesteryears. Happiness is working on a street filled with vintage shops and loving each time i go in there, wondering what i will find. Happiness is finally finding a stack of Lipton Chai Lattes and stocking up on them. Oh, if you couldn't tell, today was a happy day.
