I've never found a Lagerfeld but almost everything I own is acquired in this way. Retail is anathema. Thanks for the great writing on a subject dear to my heart.

Mariam, as a fellow thrifter, I enjoyed your piece very much. There's a story called "Goodwill Junkie" in my new book Midlife Solo, and I'm sorry, but I have to top your Karl story - mine is about finding, at Goodwill, a dark maroon silk Balenciaga ballgown with a vast bow down the back for $18. Canadian. It fits perfectly. I'm ready for the Oscars.
