Why have I never seen such a thing in this rainy country? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds#post-579204 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 06:44:41 +0000 fashionista 579204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I so love that ballet flats and bonus its rain flats. Gosh I want that so much. And the necklace and the bag is nice.

Those are some mighty fab Kate Spade houndstooth ballet flats you found. I LOVE them and I'd being doing a rain dance so I'd have reason to wear them if they were mine! That orange necklace will have you all set for spring. I love me a yummy real leather bag, so I'll be interested to see how you style/rework that one. Mom is lucky to get a black Tig bag as well. Great haul! Come visit me in AZ if you need an excuse to dress as a cowgirl. I've seen real cowboys in our Walmart with their spurs on, true story! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds#post-579160 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 04:45:09 +0000 AJ 579160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, OK! Oh you should have been at our county fair last weekend! LOTS of cowgirls were wearing big buckle belts with bling all over it.<br /> <a href="http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?_adv_prop=image&#038;fr=mcsaoff&#038;va=bling+cowgirl+belts" rel="nofollow">http://images.search.yahoo.com.....girl+belts</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds#post-579155 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 04:29:18 +0000 christieanne 579155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ - I know it sounds nuts lol. It all started with my Justin red roper boots (currently at shoemakers) and I realized I really had a life long "thing" for westerny style but really didn't wear it. I have a lot of turquoise jewelry and jeans but otherwise that whole Ralph Lauren Americana look.<br /> I also realized I have places I could and should incorporate this stuff (we go to the southern Calif desert a couple times a year) and get it out of my system. </p> <p>On my list for capsule (which will be tiny):<br /> Peasant top<br /> tan leather crossbody - but now I have a red one instead possibly<br /> tshirt with a print - saw some cool feather prints at Gap </p> <p>I have wanted a fringed suede jacket since I was like 5 but won't ever get one </p> <p>I already have jeans, sandals, denim jackets, chambray shirt, a couple of "rock band" ts, silver and turquoise jewelry. </p> <p>Pictured below is me at age 5 (my favorite show was Bonanza). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds#post-579153 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 04:19:19 +0000 Meredith1953 579153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christieanne,<br /> What wonderful finds! You found some really awesome stuff!! Those rain ballets are so fun and Loki guarding that red bag really makes me smile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds#post-579149 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 04:14:11 +0000 AJ 579149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What exactly is a "cowgirl fantasy lifestyle?" Big full skirts with cowboy boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds#post-579142 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 04:03:51 +0000 christieanne 579142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see that those photos are really dark - bad lighting in bedroom at night. </p> <p>Good idea about the clutch - it is sort of a square shape but I can easily try it. I have a 70's gray vintage bag that had a funky strap and it lives like a clutch now.<br /> If the bag fits in my cowgirl fantasy lifestyle capsule, the strap is okay actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds#post-579141 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 04:02:17 +0000 ManidipaM 579141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh what wonderful finds! ADORING (and seriously envying) the rain ballet shoes! VERY nifty indeed! I love it when form is fabulous, but is still topped by function! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds#post-579133 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 03:52:19 +0000 AJ 579133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds! I've never seen rain ballet flats before! Who knew?!</p> <p>Will the bag look fine as a clutch instead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds#post-579132 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 03:51:33 +0000 Tanya 579132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, what great finds! The flats are stunning and Loki is adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds#post-579128 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 03:49:10 +0000 christieanne 579128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was sort of joking last night when I posted on Claire's hi-lo skirt thread that I would go thrifting and not come home until I was successful at finding something. But I actually did have some things to drop off and decided to check out two thrifts in a different town. </p> <p>And i can see why people get addicted to thrifting - if you can find a good store. </p> <p>Big find of the day: Rain ballet flats. They are labeled Kate Spade and I think they are. Seems like an odd thing to fake. There were plenty of fake KS bags that I passed on but these are too fun. </p> <p>Orange bead vintage necklace Crazy bright orange. </p> <p>Red woven leather crossbody bag. I am not loving the strap but might replace with a scarf - mulling it over. Worthwhile for $2. The leather is in perfect condition. Kind of fits in my "fantasy" capsule in any case. Also starring Loki. </p> <p>Dress shirt for Hubby and two vintage ties. Brand new WSU Cougars sweatshirt for DS. Black leather handbag for my mom (looks new - Tiganello). </p> <p>Elvis Costello and The Attractions Greatest Hits CD. I sang all the way home </p>
