Behold the magic of Marden’s, a Maine surplus and salvage institution. Yesterday I passed a table of iceberg lettuce marked down to $.50 a head, past giant cans of cream of potato soup just a wee bit past their sell-by date, past the rugs (our reason for going), and straight to the fabric department, where this breathtakingly perfect pure wool suiting was waiting for me. Planning my Rhinebeck ensemble now. #theyhadothercolorstoo
