Danae and I were in Andersonville (northish end of Chicago) for an appointment. Afterward, we stopped at the nearby Brown Elephant thrift store. It's a store in an old theatre that supports the Howard Brown clinic, a medical group that primarily serves the LGBTQ population of Chicago. We picked up a few things for me, including a pair of leather jeans for about $10! They will fit me when I'm again at the weight I was before I gained about 25 pounds while depressed and anxious.
As well as a couple of other great things (I got a t-shirt with a NYC mass transit map on it!), I want to share this super-sparkly green top with you! I found that I was much less uncertain about which items I liked and which I didn't while trying things on. I think I'm better able to hear myself without straining over the now much-reduced cacophony of self-doubt.

I love sparkly things!
