You could have it as the feature piece on a night out.<br /> I'm leaving my job and several people have said "but you're leaving and you haven't taken us op shopping " so I'm going to be doing another op shop crawl in our winter holidays in about 9 weeks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-happend-at-the-thrift-op-shop/page/2#post-1655555 Thu, 05 May 2016 18:01:23 +0000 Sara L. 1655555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so beautiful. I can't wait to see how you style it.&nbsp; There are so many great suggestions here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-happend-at-the-thrift-op-shop/page/2#post-1655553 Thu, 05 May 2016 17:57:25 +0000 Ledonna N. 1655553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The belted waist is such a great idea but, my curves are stretching the poor shawl lol</p> <p>Thank you Robin and Eliza. I'm actually have an olive green strapless jumpsuit I would like to try once our weather becomes warmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-happend-at-the-thrift-op-shop#post-1655547 Thu, 05 May 2016 17:36:34 +0000 Eliza 1655547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shawl and your clever ways of displaying it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think that in addition to wearing it for more formal occasions, it could be fun to try pairing it with more casual and even rugged pieces. Sometimes those juxtapositions can create a lot of interest. Perhaps try it with an olive fatigue or bomber jacket for example. I hope you have a great time experimenting with ways to enjoy it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-happend-at-the-thrift-op-shop#post-1655536 Thu, 05 May 2016 17:14:43 +0000 RobinF 1655536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is great!

That styling would have a kind of gypsy or bellydancing vibe. I like all of the suggestions you've gotten, especially the idea of wearing it over a leather jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-happend-at-the-thrift-op-shop#post-1655065 Wed, 04 May 2016 21:30:27 +0000 RoseandJoan 1655065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's found its way home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-happend-at-the-thrift-op-shop#post-1655052 Wed, 04 May 2016 20:57:47 +0000 Ledonna N. 1655052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>See this is why I love my YLF fam. </p> <p>Glory rip jeans would give that casual elegance. </p> <p>Rose you said Cosplay.

I was and am slightly tempted not to wear it because it I don't want to snag her on anything. Also she has som weight to her. About a good 1 pound. Not cumbersome but it won't go falling off.</p> <p>Diana- I could see her with a feather skirt. Now I just need to find 1 in plus size. Lol or black fringe pants oh my</p> <p>Smittie I could see that I have more than several pairs of patent shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-happend-at-the-thrift-op-shop#post-1654976 Wed, 04 May 2016 18:52:56 +0000 Anonymous 1654976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does look vintage!<br /> I would pair this patent leather shoes (any type) and skinnies.

This is fantastic! I'm seeing it as a huge neck piece with your striped taffeta skirt and a black top. Or with a black leather jacket.</p> <p>Then again I'd want to know how it "feels" before I made any styling choices,&nbsp;take care of practicalities before trying it in an outfit...&nbsp;You say it's heavy. Does that make it cumbersome to wear? Will it catch on things? Don't want to loose any of those beads! Yikes!&nbsp;</p> <p>But yeah. It's irresistible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-happend-at-the-thrift-op-shop#post-1654952 Wed, 04 May 2016 18:16:40 +0000 rabbit 1654952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! &nbsp;I'd try various draped over the shoulder methods (either over your back or front), or tied or pinned like a bandana? &nbsp;Over a simple black top or dress it could look like it was an attached layer. &nbsp;If it was under a jacket also. &nbsp; If it was bookended with black shoes with silver bling/hardware that could be cool. &nbsp;Or over a sleeveless black top with jeans...</p> <p>Or it could be tied around the waist of a dress or skirt....</p> <p>Have fun styling! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-happend-at-the-thrift-op-shop#post-1654951 Wed, 04 May 2016 18:16:32 +0000 jill58 1654951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The more I look at it the more amazing I think it is. Definitely drape over your shoulders--it should be the center of attention with whatever else you're wearing. I would wear it to an event.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-happend-at-the-thrift-op-shop#post-1654944 Wed, 04 May 2016 18:11:08 +0000 rachylou 1654944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-this-happend-at-the-thrift-op-shop#post-1654943 Wed, 04 May 2016 18:10:12 +0000 Anonymous 1654943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, but wonder how you wear it. </p>
