I Am a Broken Shopper

I am in a very low place right now. 

While Daffy's did have a lot of mystery-fabric junk, they also had gorgeous cotton Italian hoodies for $20. I have found great boots from there, perfect Patrizia Pepe jackets, fun vases and furniture. They had not normally funky children's clothing for a fraction of the original price. The children's shoes! Made in Italy! Naturino! Noooooooooo!

Where will these wonderful finds go now? 

They said they cannot compete with T.J. Maxx and the like, but I haven't found any clothing there in a really long time. Certainly no wacky tights, or non-binding Hue socks, or Kangol hats that have been seriously reduced. 

Some of my first childhood memories were in Daffy's. Ma dragging me around when I screamed I wanted to leave already; waiting in the car while she returned something; then finally, when I decided I liked shopping at 17, eagerly sifting through the newly arrived Italian-made merchandise. 

The stores will be liquidating its schoira now, so dejectedly shuffle over to see if you can find anything before the lights go out.
