You walk into the thrift shop and are immediately greeted by a cool girl. She is dressed in mom jeans with a nice sweater. She shows you where each clothing section is and offers to help you shop. Her friendly demeanor makes you accept her offer.
You and shopkeeper Lily explore the store together finding what works and what is trying too hard. The shop plays a bunch of oldies that takes you back to being a kid in the car with Mom and Dad. You bob your head to the familiar beats as you dig through piles of clothes. It did not feel daunting at all.
You find this amazing vintage jumpsuit. It fits you like a glove. You and Lily dance around in the store for a bit, excited by this new find. The jumpsuit is at a steeper price than you hoped but Lily reassures you that it was a one of a kind piece that suited you perfectly. You immediately buy the jumpsuit while mourning your wallet for a bit. You take a picture of your brand new purchase in the fitting room and get an abundance of love from you friends on social media.
You left the store with a new friend. A new one of a kind piece for your closet and a lot less money.
You find yourself humming some of those oldies on your way home.
