WOW. I absolutely adore the dress in #3. I really like all of the items you came away with regardless of the price, but $13 TOTAL for such a great collection is hard to beat.</p> <p>If it were me I would pair the cardigan in #2 with something with a little more color and no pattern - just off the top of my head I'd try it with a black turtleneck and magenta pencil skirt, or a white tunic &amp; skinny jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-445548 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 03:07:20 +0000 kimlee 445548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heather - It was an EPIC thrifting day when I scored such great items for such a low price. Thank you for inquiring about my daughter - she is doing much better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-445404 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 21:25:59 +0000 Heather 445404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kimlee, the snake skirt is a HUGE score (and big bonus...you look knockout in it!!!!). $13 for ALL THAT? Um, you can break SYC anytime.</p> <p>Hope your sweet angel is feeling better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-445396 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 21:15:38 +0000 kimlee 445396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn - I like the idea of pairing the cardi with khakis and a white shirt. I think that look would be great for a smart casual look or as a MOTG look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-445349 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 20:16:28 +0000 lyn67 445349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 3 are fab! just wonderring about nr 2??? Maybe on top of some khakis and white shirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444939 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 02:17:27 +0000 kimlee 444939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CocoLion - My hometown has a plethora of thrift stores, some of which have very little to offer in quality clothing. I am quite lucky that I found this shop and made friends with the owners. They call me when they get in items they think I would like. </p> <p>Helen - Your suggestion of pairing the cardi with skinnies gives me an outfit idea. Look for it in a future post.</p> <p>Dianthus - I like your suggestion of changing the belt in #1. I like simple neutrals as well.</p> <p>Kellygirl - Thanks for commenting. I like your suggestion of pairing the cardi with bootcuts.</p> <p>Annagybe - I love that I found a trend at the thrift store!</p> <p>Midwest Girl - Thank you!</p> <p>Ironkurtin - Lol, I was not expecting a comment on my wall color. But it is probably my favorite wall color in our home.</p> <p>Allison - Love the thought of using a plaid shirt.</p> <p>Vildy - Thank you! And I like the idea of moving something out of my closet to "pay" for it.</p> <p>Suz - I think I am going to try the cardi with khakis and possibly belting as well.</p> <p>Shannon - Thank you.</p> <p>Nicoleb - Thrifting does help take the edge off of wanting to shop.</p> <p>Modgirl - Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444936 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 02:13:30 +0000 modgrl 444936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The purple dress is gorgeous!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444930 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 02:05:29 +0000 nicoleb 444930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When i'm on SYC i still go thrifting. I don't think it counts and helps take the edge off for such a little amount. ;)</p> <p>AWESOME score on that snake skin skirt!!! Trendy, trendy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444929 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 02:04:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 444929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well hello there fellow thrifter! Great finds - especially the Jessica Howard dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444926 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 02:00:55 +0000 Suz 444926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, you get the prize for the best thrifting of the week! (And there's been some fine thrifting happening on this site!) </p> <p>#1 and #3 are brilliant just as you have styled them. Fantastic finds! </p> <p>As for #2, I like it a lot! I like others' suggestions and think it could also work with khakis. Try different coloured tops underneath for their effect. You might be surprised what will work. Can you also belt it for a change? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444860 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 00:22:33 +0000 Vildy 444860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That #3, especially, fits like it was made for you. If you have to, get rid of something else in your closet to "pay" for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444803 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 23:19:17 +0000 annagybe 444803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at how much you saved</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/alice-olivia-snake-print-pencil-skirt/3220222?origin=category&#038;resultback=976" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/al.....ltback=976</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444790 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 23:08:29 +0000 Allison 444790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All great finds! I would like to see #2 styled more casually with skinnies, boots, and a plaid shirt maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444785 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 23:03:18 +0000 ironkurtin 444785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure $13 counts so long as you're not spending it every hour! Great skirt and dress. Also - I LOVE the color of your wall. (Bet you weren't expecting THAT one - but it's really gorgeous!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444783 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 23:01:40 +0000 Midwest Girl 444783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What bargains! I love outfit #1--very flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444774 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 22:51:29 +0000 annagybe 444774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Snake skin is trending right now, so major score! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444771 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 22:48:27 +0000 kellygirl 444771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 1 and 3! The snakeskin skirt with the purple top is divine! #3 looks like a great, cozy basic! What about mixing the cardigan with skinnies or bootcuts to make it look more modern? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444767 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 22:42:31 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 444767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the first outfit but think there is enough going on with the print skirt and purple top so would probably use a neutral belt. Great outfit.</p> <p>I like the conservative sweater in #2. What can I say? I like neutrals that are simple. </p> <p>The dress in #3 is great on you. It is very ladylike but not boring in the least.</p> <p>Great finds/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444766 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 22:40:45 +0000 HelenInCanada 444766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent finds - particularly the purple blouse and Jessica Howard dress! Love! The white and black cardigan is a nice neutral casual piece - will look awesome paired with skinnies too! Great bargain hunting, kimlee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444763 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 22:32:50 +0000 CocoLion 444763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in a rural county where there haven't been good jobs for 20 years or more. Our thrift shops are not good for clothing. You are truly lucky to find such good clothing. As far as the sweater goes, I would say style it with a white button down and jeans. You could also pair it with a scoop neck (not crew neck) white tee. It would look cute with any shade of denim but red denim would rock! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444738 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 21:54:00 +0000 kimlee 444738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Sona - I am going to try and create some looks with the cardi in #2 and my denim trousers and denim skirt. Thanks for the suggestion.</p> <p>Rute - Thank you for commenting.</p> <p>Briar - I had not thought about using bright layers to contrast with the cardi. Thanks for the suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444727 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 21:27:06 +0000 Briar 444727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #3--it's very elegant. #1 is really cute for date night! #2 is a great classic basic, but to avoid a matronly feel, it needs higher contrast layers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444708 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 21:04:03 +0000 rute 444708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 1 and 3 but I don't like 2.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444704 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 20:56:20 +0000 Sona 444704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1 and 3. I'm not sure how to style 2 but maybe with denim?. don't return any of these!!!</p> <p>ALL KEEPERS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-thrift-shop-finds#post-444700 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 20:52:45 +0000 kimlee 444700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was suppose to be shopping my closet thru the end of October. However, today at lunch, I found myself wandering the aisles at our local thrift shop. I did not plan on buying anything, but I was drawn to the following items.</p> <p>Pic #1 - Snake skin patterned pencil skirt, deep purple top, red belt. I thought this look would be fun for a date night with the hubby, or possible a smart casual Friday. </p> <p>Pic #2 - Old Navy Boyfriend Cardigan in Black and Cream. I am not sure how to style this cardi, so I just threw it over a black sheath dress. Any suggestions on other ways.<br /> to wear this?</p> <p>Pic #3 - Jessica Howard Dress. This dress remind me of Jackie O - classic, elegant, kinda regal. And it is a deep purple which is favorite color of mine.</p> <p>I spent only $13.00 on all the items. So ladies, was it worth breaking SYC. As always, thoughts, tips, suggestions are welcome. Please excuse the hair - this is my end of the work week bun. </p>
