I can only aspire to share the crown.</p> <p>I need to look into ways for my unhandy self to shorten the necklace. I can just wrap the chain around twice but it’s not too comfortable that way. Right now I’m wearing it shortened with a twist tie, so classy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2383008 Mon, 24 Mar 2025 23:36:30 +0000 SarahD8 2383008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cookie I think you might be Queen Vintage Coat. Looks fabulous on you!</p> <p>Love the brass necklace on you and yes I can see Brooklyn's influence. Boo on the disintegrating sweater! But you are clearly an adept thrifter, something just as good is sure to come your way shortly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382973 Mon, 24 Mar 2025 02:45:21 +0000 Brooklyn 2382973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! That necklace IS very me! Happy to be an influencer. With that sort of shape you might could also try wearing it shorter with v necks (like wrap dresses for instance). I sometimes get my very handy husband to put a larger link on my necklace chains a few inches in from the end to make it easier to wear them shorter when I want to.</p> <p>And I adore the coat on you. Fab finds all round. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382972 Mon, 24 Mar 2025 02:39:37 +0000 Cookie 2382972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the coat love and other kind comments! Sadly I think that cardigan is toast. When I took off my coat, there were like six more little holes that I KNOW were not there when I got dressed. I expected decent quality from the label but it seemed to be disintegrating as I sat there! Oh well, I guess I donated 8 dollars to a worthy cause. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382960 Mon, 24 Mar 2025 00:16:35 +0000 Lisa 2382960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous canary yellow coat! Lovely shape, length, and color on you!</p> <p>#3 is a pretty dress from a friend, how generous!</p> <p>#4 is a fun style of shoe, and perfect for skirts and dresses.</p> <p>#5 is a pretty and unique crossbody bag, a lovely find.</p> <p>#7 I really like the two toned look of this necklace, it looks like it will be very versatile.</p> <p>#9 fun graphic tee, I always enjoy adding a graphic tee to an outfit.</p> <p>#10 I miss Lord and Taylor, I really liked their cashmere and fine jewelry. I like how you've styled this cardigan. I also think it might work with a denim, white, or grey skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382955 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 23:09:24 +0000 Carol 2382955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That patterned dress with the filigreed necklace is a perfect pairing. I like all of your other finds, too. And that lizard tee--looks like charcoal is a great color on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382946 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 20:46:46 +0000 Suz 2382946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a gorgeous coat! What do you mean it doesn't look good on you? <b>NONSENSE</b>!!!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I chuckled at being influenced from afar by Brooklyn. Great necklace! And the other items are fun, too.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382943 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 20:43:31 +0000 JAileen 2382943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re the vintage coat: &nbsp;I was working there that day. &nbsp;The coat wasn’t even very expensive. &nbsp; We volunteers talk about karma a lot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382937 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 20:18:47 +0000 Kate 2382937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That coat is gorgeous! Love the necklace too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382936 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 19:30:50 +0000 Jenny H 2382936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic collection! Total heart eyes for the canary coat in particular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382935 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 17:49:10 +0000 Cookie 2382935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thank you so much, Angie! I guess this is the day I should buy a lottery ticket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382933 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 17:14:07 +0000 Angie 2382933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THE CANARY COAT IS KILLER AWESOME!!! My favourite item that you own, <b>Cookie.</b> You rock it!!</p> <p><b></b>And what <b>Jaime</b> said. Great dress score from a friend! Wonderful repurposed crossbody! Fab Fabber inspired necklace! And super duper&nbsp; boho look with the new tie-die skirt :)&nbsp;</p> <p>#9 is a smashing look! ADD THE CANARY COAT!!!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382929 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 15:36:50 +0000 Cookie 2382929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen, that is shocking behavior! Who does that!!</p> <p>Well, good news/bad news: I decided I like the sweater with this skirt, but I discovered a hole under one arm. I swear I checked! I am wearing it today anyway because I am not planning to spend the day with my arms up in the air. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382927 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 14:54:42 +0000 JAileen 2382927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love Fleuvogs. &nbsp;I wish we had a store nearby. &nbsp;Your style is really fun, and looks great on you. &nbsp;</p> <p>I belong to a non profit that runs a thrift store. &nbsp;Someone took one of our vintage coats into a changing room and we found it later, without any buttons. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382924 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 13:35:32 +0000 Cookie 2382924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Ket, that sounds tragic! I have three vintage coats not counting the new gray coat of unknown age (and a leather jacket that is “vintage by now” since I’ve had it 25 years). Thanks for looking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382916 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 07:35:09 +0000 Star (Lise) 2382916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That coat, wow!&nbsp; Love the buttons.&nbsp; Beautiful vintage piece.&nbsp; Interesting necklace, great find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382902 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 01:01:45 +0000 Jaime 2382902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I mean who can resist a vintage coat - certainly not me! And that color with those buttons! It is gorgeous on you. Love a good thrifting round up with special shout out to the Brooklyn inspired necklace. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382900 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 00:55:06 +0000 Ket 2382900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoyed seeing these all but your vintage gold coat <u>stole</u> my heart! Such a great piece, I'm a sucker for vintage coats. I had a good collection but lost them to a move to Florida and then a house disaster. I still miss them.&nbsp;</p> <p>Outfits 8 and 10 are my faves on you!<br /><div><br /></div><div>Love you funky Fluevogs too! And your thrift tee finds are fab!&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-stuff-lately#post-2382894 Sun, 23 Mar 2025 00:15:25 +0000 Cookie 2382894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-2. This is why I have a vintage coat problem. I do not look good in orange. But the coat is objectively awesome! Look at the buttons! (This has been in my closet for years. I do enjoy that my climate justifies spring coats.)</p> <p>3. I know this was a bit festive for the workplace but I gotta wear the things somewhere. A friend kindly sent me this dress when she decided it was not her style but was mine.</p> <p>4. Worn with my trusty Fluevogs.</p> <p>5-6. Supported an artist by buying this messenger bag made from repurposed clothes and have been using it often.</p> <p>7. Went to a new-to-me thrift shop (rather, a local AIDS charity closed its thrift shops and this one reopened under the auspices of a different charity). I think Brooklyn silently influenced me from afar to buy this interesting brass necklace for $10. It seems like something she would wear.</p> <p>8. As worn with skirt bought on a thrifting excursion with niece a few weeks ago.</p> <p>9-10. Today’s other thrift acquisitions. Graphic T-shirt with lizard print—I think this is a tourist shirt from Barcelona, where I have never been. Sue me. The neckline is not the best on me but I swear it looked better in person. Also, super lightweight wool cardigan from Lord &amp; Taylor, a shop that I think is now defunct. I am not sure what to wear this with, to be honest. </p>
