I might have to give that some thought .<br /><b>Sarah</b> - Thank you! I love the contradiction. One of my style words is unexpected! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-challenge-continues---thrifting-the-trends-edition#post-2351318 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 01:39:19 +0000 SarahD8 2351318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I somehow missed commenting on this! Love all these looks. The dramatic shapes of the scarf coat and the mob wife ensemble are really cool...though again I'm just so drawn to that pink on you (and remembering the lavender of last week). It's kind of a paradox...I think of your style as quite edgy and fashion-forward, yet you look so great in these bright pastels that usually don't evoke those adjectives for me. Well whatever you are doing you are rocking it, please carry on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-challenge-continues---thrifting-the-trends-edition#post-2351189 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 10:18:28 +0000 Brooklyn 2351189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the scarf coat!! I’ve never seen such a thing, but now I want one :)</p> <p>And you make an excellent mob wife! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-challenge-continues---thrifting-the-trends-edition#post-2351187 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 09:20:47 +0000 rachylou 2351187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, mob wife! Very practical as well as cool… or does that go without saying if you’re mob wife? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-challenge-continues---thrifting-the-trends-edition#post-2351183 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 08:13:02 +0000 Sisi 2351183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaime, I am in Northern Italy, I work in Milan and live in a small ancient town not&nbsp; far from there. It would be nice to meet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-challenge-continues---thrifting-the-trends-edition#post-2351176 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 01:43:53 +0000 Jaime 2351176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you all are so delightful and really know how to cheer a person up!<br />I appreciated every single one of your comments but am going to offer a group thanks and deep appreciation because I didn't sleep so well and don't think I can give each of you justice right now.<br /><b>AJ</b> - More of a new hair styling technique than style. I am aiming for volume.<br /><b>Sisi</b> - I absolutely love Italy and have been to different parts a few times over the years (but never enough). Next time I go I would love to go thrifting with you! If you don't mind my asking, in which part do you live?<br />As for tiktok trends, I like mob wife tons more than quiet luxury, thank you <b>Bijou</b>, <b>Ket</b>, <b>Dee</b>, <b>BlueJay</b>, <b>Angie</b>&nbsp;and <b>Jonesy</b>!</p> <p>Again, thank you all for your comments, which really brightened my morning. There are still many more thrifted coats to come .</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-challenge-continues---thrifting-the-trends-edition#post-2351163 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 22:17:30 +0000 Jonesy 2351163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thrifted outerwear extravaganza!

Your hair is the best accessory, nice rich tumble of curls.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-challenge-continues---thrifting-the-trends-edition#post-2351112 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 13:54:41 +0000 kellygirl 2351112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous toppers!

Nice pop of pink too and hilarious the idea of a mob wife in a Ralph Lauren bomber, it just looks cool to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-challenge-continues---thrifting-the-trends-edition#post-2351099 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 12:40:57 +0000 ChristelJ 2351099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All so great! I particularly love the bomber, you look both tough and pretty. It's also impressive how your cute boyfriend jeans go with almost anything on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-challenge-continues---thrifting-the-trends-edition#post-2351093 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 11:35:18 +0000 Ket 2351093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these on you! I agree you have such a fantastic eye. Everything is just made for you!! Never let them go. </p> <p>I utterly adore them all, but my favorites are the pink and bomber. </p> <p>Fantastic pink for you!! I adore vintage and this really looks amazing on you. </p> <p>That bomber jacket is FABULOUS!!! It gives me Top Gun Kelly McGillis vibes, so much. But I also see some chic mob wife vibes with the earrings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-challenge-continues---thrifting-the-trends-edition#post-2351088 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 09:43:31 +0000 Star (Lise) 2351088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of these.&nbsp; The RL is a fantastic find.&nbsp; The bright colours suit you beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-challenge-continues---thrifting-the-trends-edition#post-2351085 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 08:52:08 +0000 Sisi 2351085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What beautiful finds!

I like all your jeans and boots too. I am a firm believer that you couldn’t have too many coats and jackets as in Ireland no matter what the season you always need a coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-challenge-continues---thrifting-the-trends-edition#post-2351083 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 07:44:07 +0000 Bijou 2351083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 fabulous looks!

And I agree with Suz about the colors there and in the pink coat looking super fab on you. The scarf coat and bomber are great, too. Wow, what variety, and you wear them all well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-challenge-continues---thrifting-the-trends-edition#post-2351073 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 03:25:53 +0000 Suz 2351073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow, that blue in #1 and the pink in #3 adore you! Fantastic outerwear.&nbsp;</p> <p>The scarf coat is really interesting. Beautiful and both elegant and a bit rugged, or wild or something. A fabulous piece.&nbsp;</p> <p>The bomber is cool, too. You have a fantastic eye.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-challenge-continues---thrifting-the-trends-edition#post-2351070 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 03:19:43 +0000 Jaime 2351070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Endless coats for every sort of weather is my motto. Continuing with Sarah's no repeat challenge I have recently wore:<br />1. On a warmer day - Pinko kimono like colorful jacket. I would try it with a solid underlayer next time.<br />2. One of the most venerable vintage brands here is Maskit, mostly known for their embroidered caftans and dresses. I have over the years picked up a few rare items such as this scarf coat* .<br />3. I have shown this bright pink vintage coat before and it remains one of my favorite finds. Barbiecore?*<br />4. Most recent crazy find is this vintage Polo Ralph Lauren bomber jacket. I pick up a lot of heavy coats and cashmere sweaters because not everyone is comfortable with warm clothes in 11C/50ishF. I fortunately am! Bonus take: my daughter said I look like a mob wife* with the sheep fur collar and my gold earrings.<br />* thrifting the trends alert <br />Any and all comments and suggestions welcome as ever! Thank you for looking.</p> <p> </p>
