For some reason I find I have better luck when I'm not looking for things. I know people say go with a plan and all that but for some reason if I go in not needing anything or looking for something specific, I stumble upon good things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-659467 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 20:44:13 +0000 Anonymous 659467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never say never, particularly if you're a thrifter! I like the black soles. Don't mess 'em up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-659466 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 20:41:47 +0000 Jilly 659466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a great deal- i'm not sure if you have to stand around a lot for your job, but if so, that would make them an even better deal. Love Claire's idea, too. Happy thrifting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656524 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:14:42 +0000 Meredith1953 656524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous shoes Shannon! I always worry about keeping them so nice and clean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656520 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:13:02 +0000 Transcona Shannon 656520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire - now you've got me thinking...dye the vamp black....that would look pretty cool. I'll have to see if the buckle detail can come off so I could get underneath it properly. Definitely going to give this idea some serious thought - thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656305 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 09:05:55 +0000 harmonica 656305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a great find! Keep!</p> <p>As GP said: nothing wrong with thrifting when having your skills! You know, you can go thrifting AND spend the big money (with great care, of course). Nothing wrong at all! Gives a personal touch to your outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656294 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 08:38:27 +0000 ManidipaM 656294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rockports are brilliant for comfort (and at least here, pretty expensive, so am doubly impressed you got them at thrifting prices!). Personally, the black soles don't bother me at all; but I have to confess I'm intrigued by Claire's idea!</p> <p>What a great day's thrifting, Shannon! Of all things to duplicate, white jeans are the ones that are truly a no-brainer. If you are ever in need of a second career, you could be a personal shopper for thrifters --- even if you're paid 'thrift' rates yourself, you'll probably have tons of fun and be super successful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656188 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 04:27:18 +0000 goldenpig 656188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a poisoned eye for loafers so I can't advise but they sound like they're in great condition! I just wanted to bow down again to your thrifting prowess! Why would you stop thrifting when you're so good at it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656144 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 03:20:18 +0000 Anonymous 656144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woot! Another great thrifting trip. I think you needed a medium/dark wash denim jacket (seriously, I actually thought that before you got it) and more white jeans? For flats? Too awesome! I can see those with your orange flats for sure. Those loafers are cute, a little old school but I think you can make them work. If you're feeling adventurous, they'd look really cute with dyed black vamps to tie in the black sole. And we know you love a color blocked shoe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656143 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 03:16:11 +0000 Suz 656143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at that! Those are pretty nifty. I love the colour - it will be a nude for you. </p> <p>And well....falling off the wagon isn't so bad if it doesn't hurt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656139 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 02:57:57 +0000 Jaime 656139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hee hee - once a thrifter...No I am just kidding. But this is why I don't bother telling myself I am going to stop. Great loafers - let's see an outfit and the rest of the loot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656118 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 02:28:52 +0000 Deborah 656118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool loafers! I look forward to seeing these styled. And... I like the black sole. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656105 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 02:14:11 +0000 Lyn D. 656105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really lovely shoes! I think that the black sole helps to make the light colour not make feet look bigger too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656098 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 02:02:51 +0000 Lulu 656098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You call them "the find of the night"; sounds to me that you are "soled" (yes; pun intended you love, so keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656096 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 01:59:08 +0000 Anonymous 656096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The leather looks sumptuous and they look very comfy. To my eye, they could come across as a bit grannyish, so perhaps something to think about when styling outfits ...!?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656092 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 01:52:45 +0000 marija 656092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are cute shoes! I can see those with a number of outfits! Lucky! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656089 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 01:50:12 +0000 Vicki 656089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing like shopping with your BFF and scoring some good deals. Plus, on this one, your feet love YOU! Happy for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656083 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 01:36:58 +0000 rae 656083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, black soles and all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/didnt-i-say-i-wasnt-going-to-thrift-for-a-while#post-656073 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 01:28:50 +0000 Transcona Shannon 656073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well my BFF called early this evening and asked if I wanted to go with her to Value Village - love hanging with my BFF so of course, off I went. I found three great things and brought them home, but only have pics of one. </p> <p>The two items I don't have pics of are: another cropped denim jacket (Brody Jeans) - this one a medium wash (my other one is a faded wash), is exactly the same length as my current cropped one which I love, and has a wee bit of distressing on it which i find kinda cool; and another pair of white jeans (who knew I'd be so lucky) that are the perfect fit and length for flats (Joe Fresh).</p> <p>But the find of the night for me were these bone coloured, 100% leather, made in Brazil, Rockport loafers. I don't think they've ever been worn as there is literally not a scratch, stain, mark, of any kind and the inside is positively pristine. I posted a a week or so ago about wanting to find some flats and these were just waiting for me. They are ridiculously comfortable (like slippers really) and a very versatile colour for summer. I know some of you won't like the fact that the sole is black but that really doesn't bother me at all. What do you think? </p>
