I was going to say that I would not have resisted that skirt (ok granted resistance to interesting thrift finds is not my strong point) but other better enablers have preceded me! But with or without it a fabulous bunch of finds.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-and-resisted#post-2404356 Sat, 24 Jan 2026 02:25:03 +0000 Cookie 2404356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, ok, when snow permits, I’ll go see if it is still there!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-and-resisted#post-2404327 Fri, 23 Jan 2026 23:10:47 +0000 Jonesy 2404327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab haul! You have nailed cozy for sure! I second the enabling for the skirt: Over another skirt could be really cool, providing some interesting layers and textures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-and-resisted#post-2404310 Fri, 23 Jan 2026 20:03:42 +0000 Kate 2404310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great stash! Especially love those knitted gloves, the Allbirds, and the owl plate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-and-resisted#post-2404295 Fri, 23 Jan 2026 18:49:36 +0000 Angie 2404295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about a skirt? You can layer the gauzy skirt over one of your other dark skirts </p> <p>Could be a fab layered look!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-and-resisted#post-2404286 Fri, 23 Jan 2026 18:13:48 +0000 Cookie 2404286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I feel the exact shape of my legs is not information the general public needs access to, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-and-resisted#post-2404280 Fri, 23 Jan 2026 17:58:54 +0000 Angie 2404280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about a fun pair of leggings!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-and-resisted#post-2404278 Fri, 23 Jan 2026 17:43:16 +0000 Cookie 2404278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thank you!! The striped top is SUPER old (Ann Taylor??) but it’s appealing to me again.</p> <p>The issue with the organza skirt is what to wear under it. I mean, it is COMPLETELY transparent. A maxi-length slip (does that exist?) is the only thing I can see not looking bizarre. But I love the idea of it with the dogs hoodie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-and-resisted#post-2404274 Fri, 23 Jan 2026 17:27:01 +0000 Angie 2404274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh! Good stash, <b>Cookie</b>! That will help amuse you in polar vortex weather.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fun to have shopped your closet only to discover more fab stuff!&nbsp;</p> <p>That striped wrap top in #5 is KILLER sensational. I have yet to see somewhere wear a body con wrap top as well as you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Hard to get an accurate read on the top in #6 to #8. I like the side party action! And the skirt is great on you, as you know.</p> <p>Enabling you to go back for the $5 skirt. It's kin to your tulle skirt. Try your fab red doggie hoodie over it - or even with the new sneakers ;)&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-and-resisted#post-2404270 Fri, 23 Jan 2026 17:14:53 +0000 Cookie 2404270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I forgot: I had been wanting sneakers that were more wintry in look and feel, and these blue-ish tweed Allbirds that fit perfectly appeared before me while I was in the checkout line for the green top. Sold! I wish the soles were not white but they feel great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-and-resisted#post-2404268 Fri, 23 Jan 2026 17:03:17 +0000 Cookie 2404268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The word of the month is: COZY.</p> <p>1. Red-blue-purple scarf made in Guatemala of the softest bamboo-based chenille. I have ruled that more outerwear accessories are always acceptable purchases.</p> <p>2. No-label gloves. Feels like wool. Possibly homemade?? They don’t quite go with that scarf but do with others I own. I love them.</p> <p>3-4. Another scarf/shawl thing. From what little info I can glean about the label, it is from Munich, Germany.</p> <p>5. I think I thrifted this skirt in some sort of fugue state back in December because I forgot all about it, then found it, threw it in the wash, and wore it to Target, where I had a ridiculous look on my face. It’s by Pact and is made of soft thick gauze that is somehow cozy rather than gauzy. Pockets!</p> <p>6-8. This top (brand Habitat) … I took a chance that it would go with the infamous tube skirt and I’m not sure whether the colors harmonize the way I hoped but I cannot seem to get the phone to capture them accurately. It has a handy pocket on one side and a zipper on the other that I like partly open, but it would still fit if I closed it even though the labeled size is extra-small and I am obviously not. I’m uncertain about this experiment but it was extremely inexpensive.</p> <p>9. RESISTED: It killed me to leave behind this $5 blue silk organza skirt with a $350 price tag still on it, but I was unable to figure out the role a completely see-through floor-length organza skirt was going to play in my life.</p> <p>10. Pretty sure this owl plate is going to be one of my favorite finds of 2026 even though I got it the first week of January. From a distinctive signature on the back I was able to ID the artist who made it. I did end up giving it to my mother at least for the time being. She loves it too! </p>
