She is a smart shopper with a good eye for a designer item.
But Emily Robinson (@emilyriboflavine) has won the jackpot this time.
She found a Vivienne Westwood handbag worth hundreds of dollars for just $38.
Westwood was the high priestess of punk style in the 1980s, graduating in couture design in later years.
Her daring designer look has earned her legions of fans.
Among them was Emily, who spotted the handbag and grabbed it before anyone else noticed.
She knew she had found something special.
“I saw a lone plaid bag across the street from the thrift store.
“I'm going to take a closer look because it looks familiar,” she said.
It showed all the hallmarks of a true Westwood designer item.
“This discovery just took me to 9,000 BC cycle level,” she said.
“And it was $38,” she wrote, smiling and barely believing in her luck. 'You are joking.'
It was classic Westwood style.
The commenters were green with envy, wondering why they weren't finding great items like Emily's handbag.
“Passing out of thrift,” someone said.
“Omg I'm so jealous,” another admitted.
“Me when I found a Fendi bag for $4,” this person wrote as he remembered the thrift store jackpot.
“As soon as you showed it, I screamed Viv. Why can't this happen to me,” this viewer complained.
“Be frugal tomorrow and manifest this level of happiness,” wrote one hopeful viewer.
