And the clutch is perfect with the frock. Either pair of peds works. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-938349 Tue, 21 May 2013 20:33:05 +0000 Thistle 938349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great finds, and loving that dress!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-938182 Tue, 21 May 2013 17:41:05 +0000 AJ 938182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay, y'all like the Max and Cleo dress!&nbsp; I always look at all the dress sizes when I thrift because gems like this usually are hidden in the wrong section.&nbsp; <br /><br />@lyn67 - the sweater outfit needs to wait until next spring because summer is my dominant season and it's been in the upper 80's and 90's (F) here already.&nbsp; I will definitely wear the striped skirt though.<br /><br />My life is casual since I'm a SAHM, so the yellow jelly bag fits my lifestyle.&nbsp; <br /><br />@bj1111 - I didn't think a spring sweater outfit and the jelly bag would be seasonally confusing.&nbsp; Are jelly bags only for summer?<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-938131 Tue, 21 May 2013 16:18:19 +0000 catgirl 938131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are great finds, AND color coordinated!&nbsp; The dress is the best IMHO - what a fit and style. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-938127 Tue, 21 May 2013 16:12:13 +0000 Kristin L 938127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm not sure about&nbsp;the&nbsp;proportions for&nbsp;outfit&nbsp;1, but everything else looks great! You made a some great finds. &nbsp;&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-938114 Tue, 21 May 2013 16:00:50 +0000 rachylou 938114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OMG, the sweater is fantastic, as is the dress. Why oh why don't I find this sort of stuff in my Goodwill? Lol. I think the patterned clutch is a great pattern mix with the dress. I think it's the neutral colouring.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-937998 Tue, 21 May 2013 14:09:32 +0000 Sara L. 937998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lucky you! I especially love the dress and sweater but they all look great. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-937973 Tue, 21 May 2013 13:40:34 +0000 Liz A. 937973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOVING that dress!&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-937971 Tue, 21 May 2013 13:38:16 +0000 harmonica 937971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Congrats and what Claire said. <br /><br />But I prefer the black shoes + the clutch. If you want a more casual style you could try flat sandals + the yellow bag?<br /><br />My only concern is the acrylic sweater, but that is just because I have a strong preferance for natural fibres. You look great in it :-)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-937964 Tue, 21 May 2013 13:30:15 +0000 pil 937964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, productive trip! The vest and pattern mixing are all very compatible to my eye. Dress, shoes and sweater are terrific! I've never seen a bag like that, though the color is pretty and happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-937960 Tue, 21 May 2013 13:29:04 +0000 Transcona Shannon 937960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are all fabulous finds AJ and totally suit your style. I'm especially in love with the Max &amp; Cleo dress - GORGEOUS on you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-937931 Tue, 21 May 2013 12:51:22 +0000 Anonymous 937931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love a new Goodwill! You did awesome AJ! Everything works to my eye, and I love the dress with the cummerbund. The animal print clutch and the nude sandals look great together. You have a real knack for finding treasures and then styling them perfectly.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-937908 Tue, 21 May 2013 12:16:46 +0000 bj1111 937908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ you did really well!<br /><br />the vest looks perfectly proportioned for the outfit. &nbsp;i love that bailey dress. &nbsp;i'll leave the pattern mixing to others. i do like how you kept it low contrast.<br /><br />love how you styled the striped dress and the new shoes with the sweater. &nbsp;i do like that plastic bag...i have one in orange. &nbsp;but i wonder...sweater and a plastic bag...seasonally confused?<br /><br />that last dress is super fab. &nbsp;i prefer with the black shoes AND the printed bag. &nbsp;the black spots in the bag go nicely with the whole black thing. &nbsp;i'm not digging those shoes with the outfit since the purse reads dressy and the dress could go either way. &nbsp;try with the yellow plastic bag? &nbsp;or something with jute or raffia or less dressy bag? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-937841 Tue, 21 May 2013 07:23:13 +0000 lyn67 937841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ All are keepers. Pattern mix and prop in nr 1&nbsp;is excellent, and love the skirt(but why waiting till next spring??), the dress and&nbsp;the shoes, too. <br />I saw&nbsp; some jelly totes myself too, and was really tempted for a reason I cannot explain (color&nbsp;and transparency?), but haven't seen a real bag this material yet-I mean a bag&nbsp; with closures, hardware, pockets&nbsp;or so. It may work, but I find them being very casual.<br />. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-937837 Tue, 21 May 2013 06:58:33 +0000 Caro in Oz 937837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great finds https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-937832 Tue, 21 May 2013 06:44:29 +0000 Deborah 937832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Then I think the length will perfect. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-937823 Tue, 21 May 2013 06:09:42 +0000 rae 937823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well! I love everything, especially the Max &amp; Cleo! Hooray for a new Goodwill haunt! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-937819 Tue, 21 May 2013 06:02:34 +0000 AJ 937819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Ceit and Deborah.&nbsp; To think that I almost didn't bother with this GW!<br /><br />@Deborah - Good call about the length of the sweater!&nbsp; I'll have to try it with pants, but mostly I was thinking about wearing it with both pencil and full skirts.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-937811 Tue, 21 May 2013 05:52:16 +0000 Deborah 937811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great haul! &nbsp;I can't belive you thrifted the dress, it is so&nbsp;gorgeous that I am struggling to notice the other items :)<br /><br />I like the shoes alot. &nbsp;I don't find them frumpy, I find them very stylish.<br /><br />The sweater is nice but i am wondering if the length will be better with skirts. It looks too short for pants? &nbsp;<br /><br />All look like keepers to me. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-937810 Tue, 21 May 2013 05:51:31 +0000 Anonymous 937810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, some great finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodwill-hunting#post-937809 Tue, 21 May 2013 05:46:42 +0000 AJ 937809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Went to a&nbsp;Goodwill that was new to me and found some great stuff!&nbsp; Unless y'all vote an item off the island, I'm keeping them.&nbsp; :)<br /><br />1) What I wore to church and thrifting. (Sorry for the blurry photo.)&nbsp;<b> Does the cropped vest works with the proportions?&nbsp; How's the pattern mix?<br /></b><br />2) There weren't any tags on this cream sweater but I'm guessing it's a soft acrylic.&nbsp; I've been looking for a slouchy cream or white sweater for awhile now.&nbsp; <b>How does this look?&nbsp;</b> <br /><br />3) Another unfortunate blurry photo.&nbsp; Just wanted to let you see the size of the bag and the shoes on my feet....<br /><br />4) This outfit will most likely have to wait until next spring, but I think it's super cute!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The striped skirt is a Gap sale purchase.&nbsp; The yellow bag is made out of plastic...like jelly shoes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Fun or childish?</b>&nbsp; <br /><br />The shoes have a comfy, slightly padded insole.&nbsp; It's cream with navy trim.&nbsp; <b>Fine or frumpy?</b><br /><br />5) Max and Cleo dress in a black and white print with a black cummerbund(?) type waist.&nbsp; I LUV the drapey pockets and the faux wrap hemline.&nbsp; It's hard to tell, but one side of the dress has a lapel that is a fun design detail.&nbsp; <b>How's the fit?</b><br /><br />6) I also thrifted this animal print clutch.&nbsp; <b>Too much with the dress?&nbsp; Should the shoes match the clutch or dress?<br /><br /></b><b></b>Thanks so much for stopping by and being my extra set of discerning eyes.&nbsp; :)<br />
