I love the jackets Shannon. That plaid one would be so much fun with gumball pearls, a fur collar or a big scarf! Love the bags and the rest of the loot as well. Please include me in the Global Thrifting Meetup I will travel and update my passport if necessary! PS, the printed clutch needs a name. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy/page/2#post-974495 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:09:42 +0000 lyn67 974495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, the blush jacket is&nbsp; really really gorgeous. Cut, color,&nbsp;collar, fit ,and all!&nbsp;The plaid one is looking good on dresses, but sorry, I&nbsp;don't really feel it over pants, it's adding too much bulk, or so...:-(. Other are also very good finds! And just&nbsp; have to love the biggest animal clutch I've ever seen in my life!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy/page/2#post-974486 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:02:14 +0000 texstyle 974486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shopping Shannon - so jealous some of you have such wonderful thrifting skills and stores. The only thing that made me pause was the plaid coat jacket, but I don't hate it - just wondered about the drama as Deborah mentioned. if you love it, then I think it will be a fun vintage style piece. I do much prefer it over a dress rather than pants due to the long length. That blush jacket is fantastic on you and the clutch is also so perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy/page/2#post-974468 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:39:34 +0000 chewyspaghetti 974468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice finds- I especially like the beige jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy/page/2#post-974449 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:06:33 +0000 Debora 974449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds, Shannon! LOVE the blush jacket and the oversize clutch. I could see the plaid jacket with 3/4 length sleeves, and the short sleeved black jacket will be a workhorse for you. Great linen crops, too. Well done, Thrifting Queen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy/page/2#post-974436 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 12:43:43 +0000 donnat 974436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds, I am positively green over the clutch and the Zara jacket. I think you are going to enjoy the plaid as well, it will look great with skinnies in the fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy/page/2#post-974416 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 11:55:22 +0000 rute 974416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing finds! Love everything except the&nbsp;Fylo linen crops, I'm not loving.. the rolled part is too bulky.. not a 10! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy/page/2#post-974413 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 11:48:48 +0000 Anonymous 974413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thrifting can be so much fun. I'm envious that your hubby enjoys it too. Did he find anything for himself?<br /> Of course I like your blush jacket. You may find that it will be your new favorite light neutral. Using the bag as an oversized clutch is fab. I also like your Shevia inspired baggy linens. You are going to have lots of fun styling all your new pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy/page/2#post-974350 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 08:20:38 +0000 TraceyLiz65 974350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful finds, love that tan/blush jacket!

Who knew?</p> <p>Deborah - if I tire of the plaid jacket, I'll send it your way, ok?&nbsp;</p> <p>Shevia - a global thrifting meetup - BRILLIANT idea!</p> <p>Sveta - the blush jacket is indeed a different colour for me and at first I worried it might wash me out a little, but I think it's ok. And if I decide at some point to pass it on, I know where to send it.</p> <p>I do like the idea of trying the plaid jacket over skinnies and heels too - once the heat of summer is gone of course.</p> <p>Angie - where do you think the sleeve length should end on the plaid jacket? I'm guessing about two inches below the elbow?</p> <p>Thanks everyone for indulging me in showing you my new "treasures".</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-974112 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 02:09:27 +0000 Angie 974112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe more than two inches off the sleeves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-974099 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 02:04:03 +0000 Sveta 974099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing finds! Love Zara jacket, so elegant and it is a new color for , isn't it?<br />Like Angie I much prefer the long plaid jacket over the dress...but I think it can look good with skinnies and heels as well. Worth a try anyway.<br />Sooo... we sorted it out that Suz would swim in Zara jacket...but I won't so you can send it to me when you are tired of it! :-)<br />I am really in awe of your thrifting. Either you are a genius&nbsp;or you have amazing thrifting haunts in your city...very likely both!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-974071 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:42:06 +0000 amiable 974071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! &nbsp;Wonderful finds! &nbsp;I'm drooling over the Zara jacket and the big clutch. &nbsp;Everything else is terrific too - you have a knack for seeing potential in things - I haven't figured that one out yet :)</p> <p>&nbsp;I am SO IN for the global thrifting meetup! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-974063 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:35:37 +0000 lyn* 974063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The long dramatic plaid jacket is my favorite, followed by the oversized clutch (it's so "Angie"). The long coat reminds me of what Kate Middleton had be sporting lately - not a good look on me, but definitely looks flattering on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-974061 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:34:50 +0000 Deborah 974061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-974042 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:20:09 +0000 Suz 974042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Global.

The Zara jacket is glorious on you in #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-974035 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:18:22 +0000 rae 974035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So... you need to find the woman donating all these things and become BFFs forever. That way you can skip the shopping and raid her closet! I especially love the first jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-974025 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:13:43 +0000 Jaime 974025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You Shannon are a thrifter after my own heart. I love the Zara jacket and the clutches, but everything else is a well chosen winner too. When are we going to have a global thrifting meet up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-974024 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:12:12 +0000 Deborah 974024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon I cannot believe the success you have thrifting:) You are consistently more successful than moi:)</p> <p>Love the blush jacket. It's a little alternate and avant garde, I like it and I think it's a peice, like your EF cardigan, that will add that little bit of difference I think you are craving.</p> <p>Black jacket.. super. Great fit and necessary item.</p> <p>Plaid jacket... Im drooling lol. It is stunning. I too think the proportions work best over the skirt/dress. Over pants, the length of it shortens your legs and the proportions are a bit off BUT I would be interested to see it open over a skinny leg pant/jean with heels (which I realise youa re not really wearing anymore). </p> <p>All purchases are fab but I can't move on from the plaid jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-974014 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:05:05 +0000 Cindy 974014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds! I *LOVE* the first jacket and the glen plaid topper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-974013 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 01:04:45 +0000 Sona 974013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok ok ok can I just say how excited I am. I looked at the first jacket, fell in love and thought "avant garde, timeless" and then later read the posts and Angie also calle dit avant-garde. I'm learning!!</p> <p>The plaid is ' so in' oversized, zipperless, vintage but new again.</p> <p>I see so many trends from the NAS catalog in your picks. fabulous Ms. great eye for thrifting!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-973921 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 23:46:55 +0000 shedev 973921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I'm in awe of your thrifting skills. Especially like the Zara jacket and the clutch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-973919 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 23:45:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 973919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally trust your eye on this so will not touch the length. I'm thinking about two inches off the length of the arms.</p> <p>This is where I count my lucky stars to have found Wonder Woman. Having an expert seamstress/tailor can really give a person so many more options since you know things can be tweaked.</p> <p>Do you think it can also work as an early fall outdoor jacket to just throw on with jeans (as long as I'm wearing heels) or should stay with the dress only version? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-973916 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 23:41:38 +0000 Angie 973916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure you should tamper with the length, Shannon. It's so perfect over that frock! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-973913 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 23:40:02 +0000 Transcona Shannon 973913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I must admit, I'm a wee bit surprised that there's no hate for the plaid jacket. It was the one piece my hubby was "meh" about but I felt I could do something with it, you know?I will take it to Wonder Woman and have the sleeves shortened for sure.</p> <p><u>Angie</u> - do you think I should have a little taken off the length of the jacket too as per Donna's comment, or leave that alone? And I totally understand what you mean about it being better over the dress.</p> <p><u>Suz </u>- you know I would send you the Zara jacket if I thought you'd fit it but sweetie, you would SWIM in it!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm glad you think the oversized clutch is ok too - I was wondering if it might be a bit TOO oversized for my short frame.</p> <p>And is now when I tell you I paid a total of $31.05 for ALL of this?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-973910 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 23:35:08 +0000 Sara L. 973910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the blush jacket and the linen crops! &nbsp;I also look forward to seeing you style the black blazer as I'm sure you'll come up with some great outfits with it. I'm not sure about the plaid coat but it looks like fun and thrifting is the perfect way to experiment with different looks without spending too much.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-finds-pic-heavy#post-973897 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 23:25:35 +0000 Caro in Oz 973897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds - love the blush jacket.&nbsp;&nbsp;I prefer the coat over your dress too.&nbsp; </p>
