It sounds like you did really well with the skirts and I can't wait to see them. If you, Suz and Shannon get together to go thrifting, I will want to teleport myself there to be with you SO BADLY! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suz-and-shannon-it-is-all-your-fault#post-607063 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 04:43:54 +0000 Jem 607063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, what about Calgary, Shannon? It sounds like you had some great success Sveta. I had better luck at the Goodwill, than the consignment store near it. I need to hunt for some more, though. It sounds like you had fun! I can't wait to see what you got. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suz-and-shannon-it-is-all-your-fault#post-607055 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 04:36:15 +0000 christieanne 607055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do find it easier to shop in consignment stores but sometimes the prices are still too much (today I saw an Old Navy knit top for $15 - it would be less to go buy a new one) so unless it is a PERFECT fit and color and I wouldn't otherwise be able to replicate it, I am very cautious.<br /> Fun day!<br /> Thrifting is fun if you are in the right mood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suz-and-shannon-it-is-all-your-fault#post-606957 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 02:29:02 +0000 Jonesy 606957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, they are not consignment, but like Goodwill, Value Village, Salvation Army, etc. Nothing has been edited like in a consignment shop. I know my daughter would have a blast, since she is a total packrat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suz-and-shannon-it-is-all-your-fault#post-606940 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 02:17:34 +0000 Sveta 606940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I don't really, I just give them to my mom However I have a pair of flats I cannot wear because they are too tight in the toe so I think to take them there next week - first time.<br /> Jonesy, I wish I had a daughter I can go thrifting with. Do you have good consignment stores nearby? They are not really plentiful in my area </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suz-and-shannon-it-is-all-your-fault#post-606925 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 02:10:51 +0000 Jonesy 606925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds like so much fun! Too bad about the dress, but I can't wait to see the skirts in action! I keep saying that I'm going to take my daughter thrifting on the weekend, but then I never do...maybe I will finally just go for it, inspired by all of you YLFers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suz-and-shannon-it-is-all-your-fault#post-606920 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 02:08:45 +0000 catgirl 606920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY! Do you consign your clothes? You should do that with items you are purging because it's a good way to 'trade" and get some value back. Can't wait to see what you scored! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suz-and-shannon-it-is-all-your-fault#post-606856 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 01:11:22 +0000 Transcona Shannon 606856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A cross Canada thrifting vacation!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suz-and-shannon-it-is-all-your-fault#post-606847 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 01:03:09 +0000 Sveta 606847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, they are. In my dreams we all three rummage through them together starting at Kingston and then all way west to Winnipeg!<br /> A girl can dream... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suz-and-shannon-it-is-all-your-fault#post-606829 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 00:46:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 606829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I will accept part of the blame gladly Sveta! Sounds like a wonderful shopping day to me and I can hardly wait to see your skirts. Too bad about the Tahari dress - $149 is a good price for something like that. But PPP must win out! Those stores are so much fun to rummage around in aren't they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suz-and-shannon-it-is-all-your-fault#post-606828 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 00:46:13 +0000 Suz 606828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh heh heh....we knew it was only a matter of time before you'd come over to the dark side!! </p> <p>Can't wait to see your new purchases! It does feel good to get something a bit unusual or higher quality than you could afford brand new. </p> <p>Glad you stood firm on the dress, though. There is no point buying at ANY price point until the item is a 10 or can easily be made a 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suz-and-shannon-it-is-all-your-fault#post-606825 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 00:42:16 +0000 Sveta 606825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All your posts on thrifted treasures apparently affected my brain and when I dropped my son at the bus station this morning I went...consignment shopping!<br /> There is one consignment store in my city I like and today I discovered another one - yay!<br /> I spent around 1.5 hours in each of them, had lots of fun and got a skirt at each.<br /> There was one dress in one of them which I loved. It was Tahari silk dress in white and black pattern and interesting neckline. It was pretty expensive - $149 - but it was new with tags and original price was almost $400. I picked it from the rack and had all this struggle in my head between the price and the fact that I liked it and that I need more summer dresses. However my agony was quenched when I tried it on: unfortunately the skirt was a bit snug in the hips - not too tight but enough that I decided to pass on because PPP is my mantra now!<br /> However I got a couple of skirts and taking them to my mom to alter tomorrow. I have played with them in my closet tonight and I am in love. They both patterned, midi (or at least past the knee on me) and the styles I don't have yet.<br /> I will post pictures when I get them back from alterations, I promise.<br /> Note to myself: I have to create a habit of taking a camera or at least a cell phone with me to take pictures while shopping!<br /> Now I definitely have more skirts that jeans and pants to wear in summer! </p>
