I actually am wondering if oversized jackets are still current . The jacket is oldest to me but probably newest in the world. Yes the sense of current is quite complicated for second hand shoppers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379820 Fri, 07 Feb 2025 00:21:00 +0000 SarahD8 2379820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I love that coat in #1 and your dandy-ish styling of it!!</p> <p>#4 with the older-to-you items looks just as current (or, current-you, I realize "current" is sorta a fuzzy concept for us thrifters) as the outfits with the new-to-you items. Speaks highly of the cohesiveness of your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379814 Thu, 06 Feb 2025 23:55:11 +0000 Jaime 2379814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brooklyn!

The coat in 1 is awesome on you I think this is an unusual length to see you in and you wear it well. And that bag! <br /></div><div>It's so cool that you seem to have the perfect bag no matter the outfit, as illustrated in these. And these outfits also showcase your mastery of outfit proportions--a few different lengths of toppers, and they all look just right.<br /></div><div>The burgundy velvet is gorgeous on you. Clearly your color, as it matches your phone case. ;)</div><div>Love the plaid with the color-blocked bag.

Your hair also looks ESPECIALLY fantastic in that picture and the big earrings look great with it.</p> <p>I have certainly found some good things thrifting but you have to be willing to walk away empty-handed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379652 Tue, 04 Feb 2025 01:34:19 +0000 Jaime 2379652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>Lisa </b>- I was put off by the word ribcage (I absolutely don't have the real estate for very high waists) but you are absolutely right.<br /><b>kkards </b>- I know - burgundy and velvet, two of my favorite (clothing) things!<br /><b>Lisa </b>- I unbelievably found that plaid jacket together with another plaid jacket (vintage Pendleton!). Not sure if I will keep both, but it was a fun day!<br /><b>Star </b>- Good point! Most of our thrift store donations (all local) are fast fashion, mall brands and local brands that aren't always good quality. Thrifting means sifting no matter where you are.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379622 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 17:50:36 +0000 Star (Lise) 2379622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Val, our donations are international from various countries so it makes for greater variety of items. Make no mistake there is a lot of junky stuff too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379619 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 17:43:48 +0000 Lisa 2379619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous embroidered coat in #1 and a great length too.</p> <p>The burgundy color in #2 is lovely on you, and pairs so well with grey denim.</p> <p>The plaid blazer in #3 is my favorite of this group just because it's plaid (and I'm a plaid fan) and it has so many lovely colors (and I'm a color fan). What a fun piece!</p> <p>Some lovely shades of tan/brown in #4, I really like the pop of orange in the sweater print under the oversized blazer.</p> <p>The new Levi's in #5 are a perfect fit, you have a great eye for thrifted items! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379617 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 17:36:37 +0000 kkards 2379617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all fab. But the burgundy velvet has we swooning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379606 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 16:03:46 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2379606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first coat and the burgundy velvet. Also, those jeans are a great fit on you -- sometimes the names of such things put me off "Ribcage" or "Pinch" just sound dreadfully uncomfortable &nbsp;but I see in practice they are lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379603 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 15:35:55 +0000 Jaime 2379603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your kind comments!<br /><b>Dee </b>- The design on the coat is actually printed and there is an even better pattern on the inside. I will try take better pictures. I had written off Levis and suddenly this year found some that worked - fun that you did too!<br /><b>Irina </b>- I do get the feeling that I am near some pretty good thrift stores :)&nbsp;.<br /><b>Suz </b>- The coat claims to be 100% silk. It is a thicker rough sort. I was really shocked that the ribcage jeans (which don't seem that high waisted to me) fit.&nbsp;<br /><b>Sal </b>- I hadn't thought of it as a formula but you are so right!&nbsp;<br /><b>Star </b>- Researching is half the fun!<br /><b>Val </b>- Interesting question! I think it must have a lot to do with the donation culture of the community - and the wardrobe churn.&nbsp;<br />Thank you <b>Suntiger </b>- those two are definitely the crowd favorites and mine too.<br /><b>Angie </b>- Your insightful comments are very appreciated (even if my hair is not growing fast enough ) .<br /><b>avicennia </b>- happy you liked my burgundy believer !</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379601 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 15:17:17 +0000 avicennia 2379601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried to type Burgundy “velvet” but autocorrect gave me burgundy “believer” so I’ll stick with that. #2 is my favorite!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379599 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 15:04:56 +0000 Angie 2379599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair is growing beautifully, <b>Jaime</b>! Looking full of fun and prersonality :)</p> <p>Fantastic coat in #1 An embroidered beauty!</p> <p>Gorgeous wine red velvet jacket in #2! Very much your colour.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the plaid blazer in #3! KILLER with the red hoop earrings and colourblocked bag that match. I'm smiling!&nbsp;</p> <p>Oversized and fashion forward in #4!</p> <p>The playful distressed metallic bag in #5 amps up the strictness of the jacket in #5!</p> <p>Always a treat to see you post.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379598 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 14:48:53 +0000 Suntiger 2379598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first coat and the burgundy velvet blazer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379597 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 14:35:51 +0000 Val 2379597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous finds! Burgundy velvet is my favorite, but all others are great too.<br /> Like Irina, I want to visit your thrift stores! Nothing exciting where I live. I heard Spain is great for preloved clothes, but didn’t explore it by myself , even though it is not far from me.<br /> I wonder what are the reasons that some geographical locations are great for thrifting and others not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379584 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 07:08:05 +0000 Star (Lise) 2379584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too research labels I have not heard of after thrifting and often get nicely surprised. Love your jackets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379581 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 05:12:33 +0000 Sal 2379581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nailing the outfit formula of straight jeans with a cool topper.... and sharp footwear.&nbsp; Very nicely done.</p> <p>Yes the coat in 1 is lovely indeed and I like the velvet in 2 as well - I thought it was a cape at first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379578 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 04:52:05 +0000 Suz 2379578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That coat in #1 is stunning! What is the fabric?&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the burgundy blazer, too. And the Levis look great! I haven't been able to get a good fit with that style...but you give me hope!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379575 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 03:35:42 +0000 Irina 2379575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! What a fabulous coat in #1.&nbsp;<div>Your outfits make me want to come and visit your thrift stores! </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379571 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 02:24:06 +0000 Dee 2379571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ouu... that coat in photo 1 is just fab, is it embroidered on the sleeves? Can't quite tell from my phone screen. Love the burgundy velvet blazer on you, such rich looking colour. Glad you found your pair of levi's, I've had great luck with levi's too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---new-old-stuff#post-2379569 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 02:10:15 +0000 Jaime 2379569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some more thrift store mirror selfies with the usual apology for the poor condition of some of the mirrors. Most of these feature a combination of newer (within the last year) and older finds.<br />1. Newly thrifted vintage Harari coat, presumably from the 90s. Never heard of this brand before I saw it. Actually, I have mostly learned about labels by first finding the piece then doing the research.<br />2. Newly thrifted velvet burgundy blazer.<br />3. Newly thrifted Takeo Nishida plaid blazer (it didn't look this crunched up in real life).&nbsp;<br />4. Everything here has been in my closet for longer than a year.&nbsp;<br />5. Newly thrifted Levis ribcage straight - this was a surprise to find and a surprise to fit. It has been a lucky year for me and Levis.</p> <p>Overall a pretty good representation of my (very mild) winter dressing. Everything is second hand with the possible exception of the grey shoes in #2 - but I have had them so long I do not remember.&nbsp;<br />Comments, criticisms, question, suggestions, and thoughts all appreciated!</p> <p> </p>
