I might be able to get the name plate off, as it seems that it was just glued on, but then what about the little rectangle impression that will be left behind?</p> <p>@Sunita - Thanks for taking the time to comment. No worries if you don't like the skirt...I knew it wouldn't be everyone's cuppa.</p> <p>@annagybe - The outfit tickled your fancy?! I'm flattered!!</p> <p>@ManidipaM - You're a hoot! You forgot to include the whip!</p> <p>@DonnaF - No, the bag can not be zipped in the middle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557509 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 06:59:36 +0000 catgirl 557509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, no, yes! I love the tulle skirt, and the color makes it a little more grown-up. The bag is fab, real or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557410 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 04:56:59 +0000 goldenpig 557410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're such a talented thrifter! Love outfit #2 and the shoes and bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557405 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 04:45:00 +0000 DonnaF 557405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can carry off wearing the skirt while looking like an adult; very impressive. And Manidipa has given great suggestions on how to make it versatile for a costume party, LOL. Can the bag actually zip in the middle? I love the shape and color and am impressed at your fab thrift finds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557387 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 04:12:00 +0000 Anonymous 557387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have some great finds. The jacket is my favorite and I like it on you with the the skirt. The skirt can always used for fancy dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557385 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 04:10:57 +0000 Abie 557385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that second outfit is really amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557383 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 04:06:51 +0000 Debbie 557383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the bag!<br /> Outfit number 2 is wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557378 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 04:01:02 +0000 ManidipaM 557378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great-looking bag, so I'd hold on and use the heck out of it, Choo or no Choo!</p> <p>And I think that is a very polished, yet lighthearted outfit. So in THIS context, tulle is definitely not juvenile. I might have second thoughts if you decide to pair a black leather bustier with it, no jacket, a bottle of peroxide, red stilleto pumps and no rivetted fingerless gloves ;-)</p> <p>I'd certainly consider those party-worthy shoes unless it were a VERY formal/dressy occasion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557286 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 02:08:35 +0000 Jem 557286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another ditto for what MaryK said! I love it all and think you look amazing with the tulle skirt, definitely not too juvenile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557274 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 02:03:24 +0000 Transcona Shannon 557274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent thrifting AJ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557231 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 01:38:37 +0000 taylor 557231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thrifty little shopper!:) great score! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557230 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 01:37:03 +0000 annagybe 557230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love outfit #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557229 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 01:35:43 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 557229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the bag is worthy of wearing whether it is a Jimmy Choo or not. I remember when you picked up the lambskin jacket AJ and love how you have styled it. The skirt looks really cute with the jacket and adds a trendy touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557220 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 01:17:48 +0000 christieanne 557220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your thrift finds! </p> <p>The bad has a nice shape. If it is a pretty nice feeling leather then it's probably real. If it is synthetic, then most likely not. I like the color as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557207 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 00:54:01 +0000 Suz 557207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a great bag! Fake or real, who cares? (Not I.) </p> <p>The skirt is so fun and I like it with the jacket. </p> <p>The shoes are so pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557205 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 00:50:29 +0000 keruchina 557205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm clueless about telling real from fake, but I think it's a lovely bag. </p> <p>I think that you are anchoring the tulle skirt with the more grownup jacket, so it looks great. </p> <p>Love the 2 hour shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557180 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 00:25:49 +0000 Sarah A 557180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ditto to maryk! I am not much informed about bag but I think the tulle is super great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557176 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 00:21:48 +0000 MsMary 557176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES!!</p> <p>No, not at all! LOVE!!</p> <p>Definitely!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557173 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 00:20:22 +0000 Sunita 557173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice bag...I'd definitely use it! I'm not a huge fan of tulle in general...sorry to be a downer. But I love the shoes and they are certainly dressy enough for a nice evening/party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557167 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 00:13:33 +0000 qfbrenda 557167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool bag! No clue on the fake/not-a-fake issue, but it looks like a great find to me. cute shoes too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557166 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 00:13:07 +0000 Jilly 557166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would definitely use the bag, as it's a great color and shape. I might try to take the tag off if I could do it without damaging the bag. And I LOve those fab shoes - they look really cute with the skirt, especially! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifty-goodness#post-557163 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 00:06:53 +0000 AJ 557163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1) I was drawn to the tan color and gold tone hardware from afar. When I held it, I noticed the Jimmy Choo label. I have no idea if it's the real deal or not, but for $7.99, I'll keep it!</p> <p>2) You might have seen this outfit from my WIW post. The jacket is real lambskin and I thrifted it a couple of weeks ago. Last week, I thrifted this fun black tulle skirt. It's Isaac Mizrahi for Target. I liked the midi length and the fact that the tulle is a couple of inches longer than the attached lining so there's a little peek-a-boo action. </p> <p>3) It's a Target thrifty day because I couldn't resist these Mossimo heels. I'm sure they're only 2 hour shoes though! LOL!</p> <p>Questions:<br /> 1) Would you use this bag, even though it might be a fake?<br /> 2) Is the tulle skirt too juvenile?<br /> 3) Are these heels dressy enough for an evening holiday party? </p>
