No you have not seen it, although I have had it for a long time it was just recently promoted to my active closet under the category of what am I waiting for? :)<br /><b>Brooklyn</b> if you walked into my store I would be delighted and carefully notice what you chose (and what you wore)!&nbsp;<br /><b>Joy</b> - You need to post your collection! I run cold and was so toasty warm in that sweater. And cheers to wearing brights!<br /><b>Zaeobi</b> - Your explanation makes perfect sense. Yes, bright skirts and bright bottoms aren't exactly the same thing. Shevia is sort of a shortening of my Hebrew name Y'shevya (many non-Israeli Jews get a second Hebrew name at birth for ceremonial purposes - Israeli names are already Hebrew).&nbsp;<br /><b>rachylou</b> - :)&nbsp;<br /><b>Runcarla</b> - I could absolutely see you in #6 too.<br /><b>kkards</b> - Interesting, and makes sense from what I know of your style.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251396 Wed, 09 Feb 2022 18:12:48 +0000 kkards 2251396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>all fab! i love the&nbsp;</p> <p>Eric Bompard cardi and the brown jacket is #6 is pretty special as well, but i have a special place in my heart for the&nbsp;</p> <p>Dale of Norway<br />and yes, i'm generally uncomfortable in brights.&nbsp; and a bright leather something would definitely be to much for me&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251363 Wed, 09 Feb 2022 14:42:33 +0000 Carla 2251363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Count me as another enjoying the thrift store selfies. &nbsp;The sweaters are winners across the board, but I have a lot of love for #6, since it is very much something I would wear.</p> <p>I’m with Aquamarine regarding bright colours. &nbsp;I’m a fan (have owned red and cobalt outerwear) but I’m working a subdued palette these days - though&nbsp;<i>not&nbsp;</i>succumbing to a dependence on black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251358 Wed, 09 Feb 2022 14:05:58 +0000 rachylou 2251358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking cute!</p> <p>I love loud clothes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251341 Wed, 09 Feb 2022 05:30:55 +0000 Zaeobi 2251341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Suz brings up a good point about bright bottoms - I've really wanted a pair of deep orange trousers for the longest time (to replace my old mid orange chinos), but have recently realised it may not be a good idea after all because I don't even wear my off-white trousers (for fear of them being 'too' bright - even in summer). Yet I have no issue with wearing saffron yellow, emerald green or plum purple maxi skirts, for some reason! </p> <p>Lol I think the subconscious logic may also have something to do with my pear shape - have always been taught I should minimise my bottom half. My maxi skirts aren't as tight as my trousers, so maybe that's why I'm more free with them? At any rate, I'm laughing at myself for how a neutral like white counts as a 'bright' but other obvious colours (as above) don't, for some reason?? </p> <p>Anyway, enough about myself lol. That pale blue in #2 &amp; #3 looks great on you Jaime (what did 'Shevia' mean anyway, btw?) - I shall live vicariously through your pastel 'brights' (lol) from all the way over here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251335 Wed, 09 Feb 2022 05:01:48 +0000 Anonymous 2251335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am enjoying the thrift store selfie’s and want to steal your Norwegian sweater. I have (from thrifting or consignment) three of these sweaters and one sweater dress…black, dark blue and burgundy with a burgundy dress. I was just thinking today that I wanted to find one with a white background and an olive one. They are great for our winter cold days ( below freezing high temperatures) often layered over a turtle neck top or another sweater. A HEWI would be one in coral or red orange. I have no hesitation to wearing brights…tops, bottoms, or both. I like the results of your experiment with brown and blues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251326 Wed, 09 Feb 2022 03:41:50 +0000 Brooklyn 2251326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous as usual. I love that brown cropped jacket.</p> <p>If I walked into that store I would make a beeline to you and ask you what stock you liked. You’ve obviously got the eye and it would save lots of time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251319 Wed, 09 Feb 2022 02:00:19 +0000 avicennia 2251319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m very much enjoying the thrift store selfies. Today my favorite is number 4 because I don’t believe I’ve seen that jacket before. I love the Norwegian sweater too — such great finds you find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251317 Wed, 09 Feb 2022 01:53:52 +0000 Jaime 2251317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) that is me after reading your kind comments! Thank you all for being so kind and supportive!<br /><b>Suz</b> Yes I get that. Perhaps because it is less commonly seen, bright bottoms seem like more of a statement than tops. Unless the bottoms are a skirt or dress bottom. Now I want to dig out some statement bottoms!<br /><b>slim cat </b>I get that too - but I believe these ladies thought the blue looked splendid on them just too "bolet" (Hebrew for something like eye catching).<br /><b>Mary Beth</b> - Yes the jacket deserves a close up. Will try to include next time.<br /><b>Sharan</b> - ha! good point!<br /><b>Rebecca Anne</b> - That is so nice of you, thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251306 Tue, 08 Feb 2022 23:27:01 +0000 Rebecca Anne 2251306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great collection!!! Also let me tell you that hairdo is FAB! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251291 Tue, 08 Feb 2022 19:13:42 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2251291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another totally fab set of outfits! I'm a sucker for the Issey Miyake pleats--what a chic look. And the new boots in 3 are super cool. </p> <p>And I'm just laughing at "too bright to wear in public." Maybe someone bought it to wear at home. Hahaha!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251257 Tue, 08 Feb 2022 16:50:15 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2251257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaime, these looks are all so beautiful!&nbsp; &nbsp;I think that Dale of Norway sweater is especially gorgeous with your coloring!&nbsp; (Although my personal favorite is the argyll sweater in #1).</p> <p>I would love to see a closeup of the Miyake jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251255 Tue, 08 Feb 2022 16:46:25 +0000 slim cat 2251255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a big fan of blue color I adore blues on you - fav #1-4 &nbsp;;) .<br />Bright cobalt blue is not for me - but works great on many ladies ( I'm just too pale/low contrast in my features to be able to do it justice lol ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251254 Tue, 08 Feb 2022 16:39:16 +0000 Suz 2251254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous! Love the brights in the Bompard. And the Dale of Norway sweater looks so great with your hair. I find any pattern that has white is pretty much the only pattern I will buy now, because of this feature.</p> <p>Love the brown and blue experiment! The boots look solid and handsome and well made and the blue bag is beautiful, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I used to feel self-conscious with brights on the bottom and I still don't really wear solid coloured bright pants. I have no real idea why. I will wear patterned pants. And I will wear a bright top or jacket or a bright dress without any hesitation -- red, cobalt, etc. In fact, my favourite coats tend to be brights.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251248 Tue, 08 Feb 2022 15:54:42 +0000 Jaime 2251248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone -<br /><b>Jaileen</b> - It really doesn't get very cold in central Israel where I live, but when an interior is in the 50s you feel cold because you aren't wearing a coat. That sweater was just the thing to keep me warm. You are lucky to have several!<br /><b>Bijou</b> - Thank you! Finding that cardigan was definitely a memorable moment in thrifting.<br /><b>chewyspaghetti</b> - That jacket is another great find - it has subtle gold sparkle woven in. It is vintage (pre-Phoebe Philo) Celine and I bought it on clearance at a consignment shop for less that $10 if I recall correctly.<br />Thank you <b>Nikki</b>! The boots are really better with cropped jeans and I have been wearing them lots since I got them.<br />Thanks <b>Aquamarine</b> - I hear you about introversion, but somehow I find wearing bright and unusual outfits works with my introverted personality. Perhaps I want my clothes to do the talking for me.<br />Thank you <b>Debbie</b>!<br /><b>SarahD8</b> Thank you! My (relatively) new hair stylist just keeps getting better.<br /><b>Mirjana</b> - Thank You! Yes, very good to be warm!<br /><b>Synne</b> - Thanks! I will put you on the waiting list for the coat !<br />Thank you <b>RobinF</b> - it is actually a jacket made of pleated polyester, but it sort of fits like a shacket because the material is very drapey.<br /><b>lyn67</b> - There was a time 5 or more years ago, that I found a few different Pleats Please pieces. I was extremely lucky to be shopping second hand before it got popular in Israel.<br /><b>Helena</b> - Interesting point! Maybe it was the combination of the moto jacket and the color. I will keep an eye on future cobalt pieces and see if they get the same reaction. And thank you for your kind words!<br /><b>Angie</b> - Thank you Angie for your generous thoughts - yes the silver buckles and blue and white did call my name. I am sure you were a stunning site in your red and white and that Greg knew in an instant he had found a treasure.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251241 Tue, 08 Feb 2022 15:10:36 +0000 Angie 2251241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You instinctively knew that the Norwegian cardigan in #2 would be KILLER smashing with your hair! That's my fave. LOVE!</p> <p>Adoring the muted and light blues with the blacks and browns. Your incredible hair and lovely smile bring it all together beautifully! You are a stylish role model in the shop.&nbsp;</p> <p>To answer your question, I don't feel self-conscious in brights, and wear them head-to-toe regularly. It makes me feel calm, happy and energetic. I've been wearing them my whole life. It's how Greg met me for the first time - head-to-toe bright red with white shoes in 1987. It's authentic!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251231 Tue, 08 Feb 2022 13:46:25 +0000 Helena 2251231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous, with extra love for the soft blue and black combo!</p> <p>Interesting about the cobalt ... I would have thought actually that would one of the easier brights to wear, simply because blue is so popular. I wonder if those ladies would have felt the same about a classic merino sweater in cobalt ... Perhaps it was the combination of the bright colour on a leather jacket which bothered them, which is more of a stand out piece in its own? For me, I could probably do a bright colour on a toned down piece, or a more interesting piece in a neutral, but both variables together would *feel* too much to me personally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251228 Tue, 08 Feb 2022 13:35:35 +0000 lyn67 2251228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I'm set for springy colors at the moment especially the light blue sweater in nr. 3 and the fab sweater in nr 4-wow!!!

My favorite it #3 with the blue and gray and cool boots - looks fabulous on you! And the jacket in 4-5, is it a sweater? Regardless, I like the long length of it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251211 Tue, 08 Feb 2022 08:29:11 +0000 Synne 2251211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so jealous!!

Love the Dale of Norway on you, and I quite like #6. Trying to remember if you didn’t think brown was your color, because I think the jacket looks quite good on you, and I can imagine goes so well with a burgundy top.</p> <p>I used to love brights but I struggle with them now, preferring them in the warmer months. I actually think I look best in bright, clear colors but find myself drawn to darker neutrals the last few years as I embrace my introversion :-)<div></p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-thrift-store-selfies#post-2251190 Tue, 08 Feb 2022 03:29:24 +0000 Anonymous 2251190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoy your style!
