I got the ‘cutest’ shorts at a thrift store for 34¢ – people say they’re missing ‘80% of the material’
A SAVVY shopper showed off her latest thrift store find and left viewers begging her to model the bizarre garment.
She went looking for cute, summery shorts, and that’s what she came home with – at least, in theory.
Elizabeth Faust (@eliz.abethclaire) couldn’t wait to get home to share her thrift store treasure with her social media followers.
In a video on TikTok, she shared the “haul” from her car right after leaving a local shop with a “rare find.”
“I can’t believe I got these shorts at Goodwill,” she wrote in the caption.
“Oh my God, guys,” Faust said, excitedly gesturing at the camera while she concealed her purchase off-screen.
“This is your public service announcement,” she said. “Go to Goodwill. Do your summer shopping.”
“There’s such good stuff in right now,” she said. “I just got the cutest pair of American Eagle shorts for 34 cents.”
The dramatic discount might have seemed jaw-dropping, but then Faust held up the shorts.
Her purchase was even more shocking than the price.
The “shorts” were little more than a denim thong. The jean shorts had been customized and cut into a tiny pair of barely-there briefs.
“These are so cute!” Faust said, now clearly feigning enthusiasm over her amazing bargain. “Like, shut the f**k up.”
Viewers were reduced to hysterical tears by her ridiculous “bargain.” Several thanked Faust for sharing her $0.34 find with the world.
“I audibly laughed,” one woman wrote.
“Guys, they were 80 percent off for missing 80 percent of the material,” a different person theorized.
A few people poked fun at the nearly-invisible “ghost shorts,” making fun of the ridiculous silhouette.
“I’m still waiting for the shorts, where are they?” one person wrote.
And one request stood out among all the others.
“Please put them on,” a commenter begged, earning over 1,500 likes and several comments in agreement.
Faust obliged, but she had to make some modifications to avoid getting booted from TikTok in the NSFW shorts.
Wearing a pair of brown leggings, she slid the shorts on over her legs.
“They’re a little big in the waist,” she said as she buttoned them.
Then, they were dangling from around her hips, looking more like a belt than a pair of pants.
When she turned around, she showed that the high-cut denim left her rear completely exposed.
Faust kept up her enthusiasm. “Serve, slay!” she cheered, striking a pose in her bargain bottoms.
