sweater of glory (or thrift story, part II)

Another hard-won thrift store garment. This sweater is real amazing. It weighs about 4 lbs, at least. It's silk and angora and I found it while thrifting last fall, it was the last thing I found and of course it didn't have a price. But this time for some magical reason they were going to "take it in back" and price it for me. I was over the moon. 15 minutes later while still waiting, my over the moon feeling starting to turn into "waning moon", but I waited still. I had already combed the entire store so there wasn't much I could do while waiting (though I did find a super great red, hooded Woolrich coat!). An after what seemed like an age I was bold enough to breach the double door gateway to the "back room" to inquire about the sweater, they freak out when you break the red door barrier so I knew I was pressing my luck. But it worked! The sweater was priced and would you believe they priced it at $2.40?! I nearly squealed.
