That is awesome that you found such great thrifts, Susan! I love the denim jacket especially. It's very much like one that I missed at Ann Taylor this year. I'll bet you could wear it with one of your many new skirts!

Hey April,

I am glad you weren't there to distract me, LOL...however I am not sure what to wear with this blouse.

I have never had something like this and I am unsure how best to wear it.

Any suggestions?

Shiny - that is neat that you have the same BR skirt. I think it is so pretty, and the colors are so unusual paired together. I might try a green shirt later in the summer.

Thanks!

Oh, my -- that RL silk blouse is to die for! It looks silvery in the photo, but it's actually cream? Fabulous. If we had been in the store at the same moment, I may have tried to distract you so I could snatch that blouse... ;)

Susan, I have that same BR silk skirt! I will be interested to see how you style it.

I bought it back in 2003. Initially I wore it with a pale pink scoop neck top and orange cardigan that BR sold to coordinate with this skirt. I never liked the shade of orange in the cardigan for me, so eventually I tried the skirt with a red top that matched the flowers. I liked that better. Then last year I would wear it with a cream top. I have always thought it might go with a green top too?

Nice job!

At first glance, I might have passed over that pink BR skirt with the roses, but the more I look at it, the more possibilities come to mind! It will be great with a cream or a red top. I'll bet it was great with that denim jacket (another nice find).

The skirts are also very nice; my favorite is the polka-dot with the white flowers on the side, but only because that's more my style. With your sunny personality, I think all 3 will work for you.

Good for you for the weight loss; I'm totally impressed you have done it on your own! That's where I fall down the most.

Those are great finds Susan! I think the other thread just got bumped down the page, but it's still there. You have great thrifting near you.

I was trying to find Chewyspaghetti's (at least, i think it was her's) post from earlier this week about shopping sales, clearance, thrift, etc. so I could post this in response, but I couldn't find it.

I wanted to post some of the fun items I got during my thrift store adventure last weekend. I need some advice about what kind of shirt to wear with one of the skirts pictured in the series of photos.
