So you, and yet, as you say pushing the current you a little.<br />I love the floral shirt on you, and yes so fab with the leather pants. A great way to soften them. And the cream jeans, especially with the column of color outfit, WOW. Usually i find that reversible things really only work on 1 side, but this one proves me wrong, although i have a slight preference for the side shown in #5, loving the brighter colors. And love that you found a bag that you love in another color!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-some-fashion-mojo#post-2268697 Sat, 25 Jun 2022 10:32:30 +0000 Star (Lise) 2268697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous finds.&nbsp; Love the dress, both sides, depends on your mood.&nbsp; Your pretty sandals look like they are going to be so versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-some-fashion-mojo#post-2268689 Sat, 25 Jun 2022 09:17:15 +0000 Bijou 2268689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such great finds at amazing prices!

It's hard to pick a favourite side to the dress. I very much appreciate the 'oil spill' quality of the first side, and yet the brighter side is also very appealing. Perfect piece to travel with!</p> <p>I keep saying I'm going to go thrifting and I don't quite get there. I'm not sure Winnipeg will turn up the same calibre of finds, but I guess I'll never know until I try it!</p> <p>I'm happy you're 'feeling' colour again and finding some that fits the bill. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-some-fashion-mojo#post-2268631 Fri, 24 Jun 2022 23:43:12 +0000 Angie 2268631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful new stash, <b>Carla</b>!

Like the second pic of it best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifting-some-fashion-mojo#post-2268615 Fri, 24 Jun 2022 21:32:41 +0000 Aquamarine 2268615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, great finds!
