One time I found a perfect pair of black boots _lying on the sidewalk_. Just like that. They were the perfect color, the perfect style, and just my size. They appeared to be barely worn. It looked as if someone had dropped them there just for me. Of course, I took them, and I do wear them. I looked sneakily left and right and I just picked them up. It is amazing what you can find on the streets of NY. When it comes to picking up cool stuff that someone else discards, I have no pride. On the subject of vintage clothes, I am a great fan of those. Which is a good thing since, as a single parent living in the most expensive city in the world, I am on a budget, naturally. I have learned to put together an outfit from the Salvation Army thrift shop (in addition to the many other vintage shops to be found in this neck of the woods) that looks stylish in a funky sort of way. I hope the vintage look never goes out of style. It’s something I can afford, plus actually love, because it suits my taste. I would wear these types of outfits even if I were a millionaire. ---

waitaminute, waitaminute, waitaminute. A gay man shopping in Wal-Mart and wearing eyeliner is giving fashion advice? 😕 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-would-you-have-said/145853.md?page=5)
