Here down on the peninsula there's more selection but sometimes the prices are ludicrously high for secondhand. Especially the mall brands that you can sometimes get for cheaper new when there's a big sale on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-at-the-thrift-store#post-1194940 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:36:08 +0000 Ingunn 1194940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It certainly is easier where I live, like you say, rabbit&nbsp;- the Salvation Army shop near my work is where I regularly find designer/high end pieces. It is in a wealthy suburb.</p> <p>Buy yourself a lottery ticket, Laura. You will regret it if you don't! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-at-the-thrift-store#post-1194933 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:31:25 +0000 rabbit 1194933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, you are lucking out! &nbsp;I'm glad the thrifting deities are smiling. &nbsp;It's rare, but when they do, and it fits, and it's the right color,&nbsp;it's awesome. &nbsp;:)</p> <p>I think it also can be slightly easier in wealthier suburbs. &nbsp;In cities IMO&nbsp;there are so many folks who comb through second-hand to resell in their vintage shops or on ebay that it's sometimes a little harder to find gems that are underpriced. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-at-the-thrift-store#post-1194921 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:24:16 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1194921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, this is the weirdest thing - bought the skirt and then went down the street to the other thrift store, and found a pair of DvF trousers - much more recent era - in my size. Would add a pic but I can't in the app.</p> <p>Anyone want me to buy them a lottery ticket today? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-at-the-thrift-store#post-1194913 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:13:32 +0000 lyn* 1194913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooooh, so pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-at-the-thrift-store#post-1194900 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:02:44 +0000 Ingunn 1194900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, vintage sizing is an entirely different animal:) Good luck with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-at-the-thrift-store#post-1194898 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:00:21 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1194898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't decided yet - it's gorgeous but a little snug for me. It's listed as a size 14 but that's obviously a 70s era 14! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-at-the-thrift-store#post-1194896 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 19:59:30 +0000 celia 1194896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely colour! Did you buy it?<br />Even in outlet stores it depends on the area they are located in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dvf-at-the-thrift-store#post-1194895 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 19:58:17 +0000 Ingunn 1194895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, great color!
