(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!
