All acquired on the same visit?! That never happens to me. KUDOS!</p> <p>I don't know how you do it, but you seem to make everything look sophisticated and modern with a touch of artsy. You have FAB style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-came-i-saw-i-shopped-and-a-thank-you#post-593079 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 04:07:41 +0000 Kyle 593079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Polka dots on polka dots! Who knew? Marvelous all the way around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-came-i-saw-i-shopped-and-a-thank-you#post-593074 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:54:35 +0000 christy 593074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow...what amazing thrifting finds! That jacket is so amazing on you - I love it with the jeans. Those red boots are so fab and they look great with the boot cuts. I think you can definitely wear the navy shoes with skinnies. I keep going back to that jacket - love it!</p> <p>I think we've been trying to incorporate colors into our wardrobes at the same time, but you are being far more successful than me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-came-i-saw-i-shopped-and-a-thank-you#post-593057 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:33:36 +0000 Suz 593057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my heavens. THRIFTED fabulousness?!?! </p> <p>These are all wonderful. Can't wait to see them in future outfits. Those red boots are killing me. And I must say, my own consignment boots gave me so much pleasure this year. Not only were they the single most complimented article of clothing I wore, but I got the additional pleasure of telling people I'd thrifted them! I bet you'll discover the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-came-i-saw-i-shopped-and-a-thank-you#post-592918 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 00:55:03 +0000 Anonymous 592918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had begun to wonder if you bought anything second hand. The only thing I could remember were the vintage yellow loafers. But now I no why I doubted you: your thrifted clothes look brand-spanking new! And so cutting edge that they look like they just walked down the runway. </p> <p>So! I love the jacket, the sleeves might need to be shortened or scrunched, but it's a great fit and the grey will mix in nicely with all of your blacks and other colors. The red boots are TDF! Super peeking out from under bootcuts. I LOVE the navy shootie/oxfords with the skinnies actually! Very fresh and perfect for the winter. Wow. My head is spinning. What a nice treat for you after the hectic weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-came-i-saw-i-shopped-and-a-thank-you#post-592914 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 00:50:01 +0000 Jonesy 592914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that jacket! The red boots and navy shoes look fab the way you have styled them (I think the latter work well with skinnies). How great that you could dazzle the DH with your thrifting acumen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-came-i-saw-i-shopped-and-a-thank-you#post-592910 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 00:43:49 +0000 Beth Ann 592910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful choices, all of them!

What wonderful, versatile pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-came-i-saw-i-shopped-and-a-thank-you#post-592621 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 17:55:19 +0000 lyn67 592621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red booties are delish, and you are kidding: have you trifted that jacket, really?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-came-i-saw-i-shopped-and-a-thank-you#post-592404 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 14:32:52 +0000 morethanbeige 592404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket and the navy shooties are killing me!

Love everything you have on in #7!!! And those red boots are awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-came-i-saw-i-shopped-and-a-thank-you#post-592328 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:20:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 592328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket is fabulous Deborah and will be an extremely versatile piece. It will look smashing with your white jeans too (you have white jeans right?). In the front on shot with the jacket the sleeves look slightly long but in the side shot, they don't so not sure how the length is. The red boots are adorable and I love the peek of red from under your hems. I'm kind of on the fence about the navy shooties - I'm not sure of the styling with them but will leave that discussion to others. Great thrifting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-came-i-saw-i-shopped-and-a-thank-you#post-592292 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:53:13 +0000 HelenInCanada 592292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All keepers!

I particularly like the navy shoes and agree that they will look super with jeans or skirts/dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-came-i-saw-i-shopped-and-a-thank-you#post-592280 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:37:32 +0000 Sona 592280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Jjsloane - hard to believe you thrifted these amazing items. They all look like they have minimal to none wear and are all very stylish. way to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-came-i-saw-i-shopped-and-a-thank-you#post-592267 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:01:54 +0000 Kirti 592267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow that is some haul!

You *thrifted* that jacket?! It is devine, such a nice tailored piece, great cut and great fit. AND red boots? Gorgeous and they're so you. The shooties look great but I have no idea how to style those - some other YLFers will need to chime in on those. Fantastic haul Deborah, well done!!! You deserve it too, after a weekend of three under five, and all boys too! How lovely for you that your hubs notices and comments, I don't know how you dressed a year ago but you sure are a style icon these days </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-came-i-saw-i-shopped-and-a-thank-you#post-592209 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 08:07:08 +0000 bj1111 592209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the peaked collar on the jacket! great thrifting succes. hubs is so sweet to notice changes you make in your wardrobe. h </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-came-i-saw-i-shopped-and-a-thank-you#post-592199 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 07:07:17 +0000 ManidipaM 592199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great haul, Deborah!

All three are keep to my eye. You have become a Master Thrifter.<br /> Your YLF comments are so sweet - I watch your WIW for creative ideas and how you spin a pattern or color - love the style you have made your own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-came-i-saw-i-shopped-and-a-thank-you#post-592191 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 06:20:02 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 592191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a nice take!

Our friends have 3 boys under 5 so while we had a great time, our house is not usually that noisy or chaotic:)</p> <p>So... I did some shopping and would appreicate your thoughts.</p> <p>And aplogies for so many pics.</p> <p>#1 - #4<br /> Table Eight Light Grey Herringbone Jacket predominantly for work but I can see myself wearing this over jeans too.</p> <p>#5, #6 &amp; #7<br /> Rivers 'Riversoft" Ankle Boots in Red. I bought these with the intention of wearing them mostly with my boot cut jeans not my skinnies.</p> <p>#8, #9 &amp; #10<br /> Sandler Navy Shooties. Not exactly sure what I will wear these with but they took my fancy, and I had been keeping an eye out for navy shoes for winter. Do you think they could be worn with skinny jeans? I think they will work with skirts and dresses.</p> <p>Please note I have just put the jacket and shoes on with what I was wearing today, no real attempt at styling has been made here :)</p> <p>And the particularly fun bit was I thrifted all of these. All are brand new, never worn.<br /> The jacket was originally $260.00 (tickets were still on) and I paid $15.00. The red boots and navy shooties again are both new and not worn were $7.00 each. DH has never gone thrift shopping with me before and was quite impressed:)</p> <p>On the way home, DH complimented me and said he really liked the changes I had been making to my wardrobe, inparticular the colors I have been wearing. I told him it was all thanks to Angie and my YLF friends... so I am sending you all a very big hug and a thank you for your fabulous input into my wardrobe choices over the past year. If it wasn't for you I there are so many things I still would never have tried... you have added color to my life (in more ways than one).</p> <p>Back to shopping How did I do? Are these all keepers?</p> <p>Thanks so much for looking.</p> <p>xxx Deborah </p>
