The Closet is Clothes to Being Full

I shop in the thrift stores and other re-used haunts. I’m afraid I buy most anything I want.
Then I go from cheap to the Free People store. There were plaid pants there that I could not ignore.
My shopping has gotten so bad, I think, “I’m a Material Girl.” Now I’m starting to order dresses from Magnolia Pearl.
The thing I haven’t revealed is I’m almost eighty-two, but people think I’m sixty— so what’s an old hippie to do?
I’ll keep right on through my nineties, wearing flowers, plaids, and pearls. You’re never too old for Free People— or to be a Material Girl.
