The trift stores in my town are all uniformly horrible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845930 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:43:51 +0000 modgrl 845930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans are VERY nice, you are forgiven </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845841 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 16:44:09 +0000 cheryl 845841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic haul! I want to go thrifting with you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845583 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 07:34:48 +0000 Hil 845583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gawd - I REALLY don't like thrift shops, and I know I should try harder because I need clothes and with my weight in flux, I don't want to be spending a fortune on clothes but I never, ever see stuff like that in our thrift shops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845561 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 05:29:02 +0000 AJ 845561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you always find some great thrifty treasures! Cobalt items are high on my shopping list now that Angie has warned us to buy color while we can. So of course your cobalt find (Silk blend no less!) is highly approved by me! Look how fab the scarf and jeans go with the tee! Great watch and fun dotty boots!</p> <p>Kudos to you for starting the LE program! Go Shannon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845542 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 04:22:11 +0000 christieanne 845542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your thrift stores have the best hidden gems ever inside of them! Fun accessories are so good to thrift. And the jeans are a bonus! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845500 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 03:13:43 +0000 Thistle 845500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the scarf, and what fashionable gardening boots. I have to say, thrift stores by me most certainly do not have Kut from the Kloth jeans! Or Calvin Klein watches. They must just have better thrift stores in Canada. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845484 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 03:00:45 +0000 Sarah A 845484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that cobalt blouse! And the gardening boots are really fun. Great thrifting day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845467 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 02:46:05 +0000 Sveta 845467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh those polka dot boots...they alone are worth sinning...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845437 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 02:12:54 +0000 Angie 845437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are forgiven :)</p> <p>Whatever makes you happy makes me happy. Great haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845430 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 02:02:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 845430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia - oh I know Angie would not scold me - lol! I'm just apologizing because I had commented a while ago about not thrifting for a while and Angie was very supportive of me trying that. Just being accountable, that's all.</p> <p>Glad you all like my "new to me" stuff. I must say, I'm really pleased with these items and know they'll integrate into my wardrobe really well.</p> <p>Suz makes an excellent point about thrifting being a good method to clothing myself as I lose weight. So I guess I may as well come clean and let you all know that I started January 14th on the Lean Eating program that Suz had done. I'm not sure where this journey will take me but I've already had some very positive results. So I may be doing a bit more thrifting in the next several months until I reach my goal weight and size so that I can still have proper fitting clothes without breaking the bank. Once I reach my goal, I will then be buying some "keeper" items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845415 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 01:46:13 +0000 Jaime 845415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why apologize? The scarf is gorgeous on you, the tee a great color and fit, the jeans look great, the watch and boots obviously great finds. You know I am pro-thrifting. I think Angie's main objection (hope I am not being presumptuous!) would be if you did not think about your shopping goals and principles but you did. Thrifting can easily go wrong but it can also go so very right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845390 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 00:33:14 +0000 sarah 845390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, you did very well - no need for apologies! Those boots are so fun : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845374 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 00:12:37 +0000 kellygirl 845374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your new jeans. What a perfect fit and cut! They are awesome. You scored a great haul. I don't think you need to apologize at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845358 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 23:51:20 +0000 Beth Ann 845358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let me just say....your thrift stores are not my thrift stores. Maybe thrifting is just better in Canada!</p> <p>These items are great in fit and they will pull their weight in your closet and on your bod. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845346 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 23:36:05 +0000 carolbee 845346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A good haul, I lurvvve the scarf, if you get sick of it ..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845342 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 23:33:34 +0000 Raisin 845342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look like great finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845330 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 23:21:35 +0000 Rosebuddy 845330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did great Shannon and love how you styled your "new" outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845325 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 23:16:45 +0000 Deborah 845325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really great finds.

While you are losing weight, thrifting can be a smart sport. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845266 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 22:18:53 +0000 merwoman 845266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And you shopped locally!<br /> You look fantastic Shannon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forgive-me-angie---i-thrifted#post-845264 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 22:16:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 845264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my defence, my BFF wanted to go. At least I didn't initiate it - lol!</p> <p>But I found a few fabulous pieces and don't feel bad about picking them up at all. Below to show you are my "finds":</p> <p>- beautiful cream/red/charcoal poppy design scarf (great for taking my winter clothes into spring)</p> <p>- a soft silk blend Gap voluminous tee (perfect bright colour and good to add to my casual capsule). Should also work well for partial tucking.</p> <p>- Kut from the Kloth straight/bootcut jeans with the exact perfect hem and fantastic fit (again, great to add to my casual capsule)</p> <p>- lovely large and simple silver Calvin Klein watch with black leather croc strap - doesn't even need a new battery!</p> <p>- black and cream polka dot rubber boots - I will feel so fashionable when gardening in these!</p> <p>Please don't be angry with me Angie I thought these were all great items, perfectly wearable, suits my style, fit perfectly and add to my casual capsule. </p>
