The blue shade is gorgeous on you and with black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-adventures#post-1269466 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 18:52:30 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1269466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Getting on the blue bandwagon.

Their staff must be well trained because their stock always seems to be in better condition and they have better brands.</p> <p>Was doing some after school errands and popped into our MS Op Shop for a quick browse. Came home with two sweaters. I have just popped them on over what I was wearing today but I do have them in mind for my harem pants (which I just happen to be wearing). Getting the length of the top right with the harem pants seems pretty critical in getting the proportions right.</p> <p>#1 - #4 Witchery black textured high low hem sweater.<br /> Found it difficult to photograph</p> <p>#5 - #7 Sussans Blue open weave sweater, high low hem</p> <p>Both are in excellent condition and while I'm thinking harem pants, they will work with jeans and perhaps slim knit skirts. The blue is probably more for non work days but the black could go to work. The black really looks a lot nicer IRL:). I don't feel comfortable in thick bulky sweaters so these work well with a tank layered underneath for extra warmth (and modesty).</p> <p> I try very hard to apply the same process to thrifted purchases as I do new items and both passed my filter. Do they pass yours?</p> <p>xxxDeborah </p>
