My $5.45 Thrift Store find

I'd love to go to thrift stores and  get lucky enough to score all these great vintage finds, but my ADD kicks in when I walk into one and spy the long, multi-colored, overcrowded racks of clothing. At that point, I have enough patience to peruse the shelves of mismatched dishes, tchotchkes and shoes. Sometimes I manage to sift through the purses and bags. I had something to do near the Park Avenue Thrift store so I decided to drop in. They generally don't have much, probably due to the area they're in, so I wasn't expecting to walk out with anything. As I walked to the back of the store where the coats are, I happened to look up and see this robe in the men's robe section. I saw the price and HAD to get it- it even had the sash! It's made in Japan. It's a men's 100% cotton yukata and taller than me at 56" long, but I'm fine with that! These things go for $50-$75+ on different sites.
