(apologies to mnftiu.cc)
I visited the Cornell Dump & Run this weekend, an ingenious fundraiser that sells the cast-off detritus of graduating students. I went last year and got a pretty good idea where the good stuff was located. I made a beeline for the bags, dresses, lamps, and women’s tops.
For $28, I came away with:
- Gucci handbag
 - Banana Republic handbag
 - Kate Spade handbag (washable stain on bottom)
 - Paul Frank monkey wallet, new
 - Liz Claiborne purse and wallet
 - $360 red BCBG dress (looks new, fits!)
 - Banana republic jeans that mysteriously fit my body
 - Ann Taylor cashmere sweater and shell
 - Esprit fall jacket, new w/tags
 - University of Chicago hoodie, looks new & warm
 - DKNY party skirt to Ebay (size 4, free to any interested anorexic readers)
 - A variety (20 or so) of nice work clothes from various high-end retailers
 - A variety of nice work clothes that don’t fit me but will fit friends
 - Wood beaded necklace
 - Benetton blazer, one loose button
 - Chrome clamp-on desk lamp, looks new
 - Various office supplies
 - Swanky Lexus Keyring
 
Ladies and gentlemen, beware my discount bling!
