(I'll bet you didn't know that was a verb, did you?)
One of my favorite parts in visiting Florida is in the great and numerous thrift stores in the greater Palm Beach area. There's this one store where I always have excellent luck finding work clothes, including the formal gowns I need for the opera. And every time I go to Florida, I can't remember which one it is! I remember that it's very close to the airport - but there are MANY in that category, so we end up visiting a lot of stores.
The good news is that this year was no exception - we finally found it - it's a Salvation Army, and I got their business card this time! - and I got two formals, 6 pairs of nice slacks, 4 shirts, a pant suit for work, and more - Ann Taylor, J.Jill, Sag Harbor, Liz Claiborne, and more, for $65. Yup. Easily over $1,000 worth of clothes. Score!
