"Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of the second-most translated book of all time, colorfully explained (also in French) the importance of dress in our society through a simple anecdote: the planet of the Little Prince had been discovered in 1909 by a Turkish astronomer that nobody took seriously because of his traditional clothes. Repeating his conference in 1920, this time in suit and tie after a reform in his country, he had been applauded at length."

Enough Stuff is a free thrift store based in East Peoria, Illinois,

They aim to meet the needs for those who are without the basic necessities of adequate clothing, home goods and food items.
But the shop is for all, whoever is in need of items but also if people just want to change up their wardrobe.
I bought some souvenir clothing to remember my trip. If you recognise this and always wondered who the fuck buys this stuff. It's me, I'm the person. 🐖
I loved this tee-shirt when it was new (purchased a decade ago from a specialty shop in St John's, NL). Now that it's on its second life as home-renovation clothing, I think I may like it even more. You see, my handyman skills are not exactly legendary.
