Thrifting Adventures! - YouLookFab Forum

Hi Ladies!

I have never been a big thrifter, but I have three stores locally that are always worth a look. Their staff must be well trained because their stock always seems to be in better condition and they have better brands.

Was doing some after school errands and popped into our MS Op Shop for a quick browse. Came home with two sweaters. I have just popped them on over what I was wearing today but I do have them in mind for my harem pants (which I just happen to be wearing). Getting the length of the top right with the harem pants seems pretty critical in getting the proportions right.

#1 - #4 Witchery black textured high low hem sweater.
Found it difficult to photograph

#5 - #7 Sussans Blue open weave sweater, high low hem

Both are in excellent condition and while I'm thinking harem pants, they will work with jeans and perhaps slim knit skirts. The blue is probably more for non work days but the black could go to work. The black really looks a lot nicer IRL:). I don't feel comfortable in thick bulky sweaters so these work well with a tank layered underneath for extra warmth (and modesty).

I try very hard to apply the same process to thrifted purchases as I do new items and both passed my filter. Do they pass yours?

I do love me a slubby sweater and the hi low hem on the black gets double points from me. Of course the blue sweater is fab too. You look great in cobalt.

Nice finds!

They both look excellent and good thrifted sweaters are hard to find! The blue color is incredible on you!

Both are great sweaters and suit your style nicely. Good job on the thrifting. Another couple of fun outfits for your harem pants.

These are thrifted goods?

That's it, I'm moving to your neck of the woods.

Cobalt sweater is gorgeous and the proportion is perfect on you with the harems!

Getting on the blue bandwagon. Fab color! Wish our thrifting was still that good. Or maybe I'm just hitting the wronngggg ones.

Well done, you!

The textured one will add interest to an all black outfit. I could see you wearing it with white under it and white bottoms too. The blue shade is gorgeous on you and with black.
