And I had to use every ounce of my restraint not to buy every single one in stock at Cheap Thrills when I visited last weekend.<br /><br />Part of what I love so much about shopping at Cheap Thrills is that all the merchandise is super-organized. Typically, shopping resale, consignment and vintage is a frustrating experience for me. I'm not the kind of person who is happy sifting through rack after rack of thousands of random articles of clothing, none of which seem to be grouped in any order or according to any category, looking for that one piece that makes my heart sing. I prefer to be able to quickly see what my options are, assess whether or not I want to make a purchase and then move on with my life.<br /><br />If you're jonesing for "the hunt," though, you can still get that at Cheap Thrills. It's just much easier and much more enjoyable to peruse and browse there than it is at some other resale stores I've tried.<br /><br />Clothes are organized by decade. Then, they're subcategorized by style. For instance, women's wear was hung on multiple racks behind tags labeled 1940s, 1950s and so on. Within those eras, the clothing was sorted into, as in the case of the 1980s rack, peasant tops and dresses, dynasty evening gowns and so on. Plus, the prices are good enough to make you swoon.<br /><br />It's heaven for the no-nonsense, Type A shopper.<br /><br />It's heaven for anyone looking for a reprieve from the one-size-fits-all, overpriced clothing at the shopping malls, too.&nbsp;</div></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4748928325/" title="Cheap Thrills by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Cheap Thrills" height="332" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4075/4748928325_bc2064b0b9.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4749570944/" title="Cheap Thrills by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Cheap Thrills" height="332" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4749570944_ef2296446b.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br />Know who I think of when I see these hair ties?<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2gv6ieO34Fo/SesDD8drPeI/AAAAAAAAHF0/x5baNMQJBe0/s400/Drew+Barrymore-1.jpg" /></div><br />Duh.
