And the jacket is gorgeous. I am thrilled for you. A floral blazer is on my wish list but no luck so far. Well done...great choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-got-for-my-thrift-returns#post-643986 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 08:32:57 +0000 ManidipaM 643986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unbelievable! But what believable for you, Shannon! What amazing, awesome thrifting luck! Do you have a patron goddess or something? LOVE the blazer, envy the bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-got-for-my-thrift-returns#post-643911 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 04:18:52 +0000 Anonymous 643911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great finds! I love the colors in the jacket and think you could do some interesting pattern mixing with it...narrow stripes, small gingham check, leopard... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-got-for-my-thrift-returns#post-643908 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 04:17:40 +0000 christieanne 643908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is one wild blazer but will be fun with jeans or more days with the white jeans. You all might have to have a Carmen Miranda theme party after all......</p> <p>Score on the bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-got-for-my-thrift-returns#post-643844 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 02:23:36 +0000 Anonymous 643844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funky jacket! It reminds me of vintage Lilly Pulitzer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-got-for-my-thrift-returns#post-643838 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 02:13:38 +0000 modgrl 643838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the crazy blazer!! Nice bag too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-got-for-my-thrift-returns#post-643832 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 02:07:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 643832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sleeves are actually full length Sveta - I just pushed them up out of the way 'cause I was hot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-got-for-my-thrift-returns#post-643831 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 02:06:39 +0000 Sveta 643831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great bag - I never have luck with bags in the thrift stores: everything I see there is junk. How do you do this, Shannon?<br /> I like the blazer. You suit brights so well! How long are the sleeves? I personally don't like blazers with short sleeves, they seem dated to me but 3/4 are great.<br /> Nice haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-got-for-my-thrift-returns#post-643825 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 01:59:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 643825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I'm glad you don't think I've completely lost my mind with this blazer. It is current, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-got-for-my-thrift-returns#post-643791 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 01:28:48 +0000 rae 643791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much better! You have been having great luck with exchanges lately. Amazing bag, and wow, that blazer is amazingly current - bold pattern, emerald/minty color with splashes of orange?? Get outta town! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-got-for-my-thrift-returns#post-643789 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 01:26:15 +0000 Jaime 643789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - what a great exchange! The bag looks fab - want to see the jacket open with a shirt under it, but love the colors, wild pattern and it fits great. Sexy Carmen Miranda indeed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-got-for-my-thrift-returns#post-643788 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 01:25:41 +0000 Anonymous 643788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a *leather* handbag? *plonk* What a great price! And it doesn't need any dye to make it pretty. I love black when it has a cool texture like that. What a nice black bag hole-plug that is. </p> <p>I'm actually crazy about the jacket on you! I love the hectic print, and I think the colors are even better for you than the pineapple skirt. Wow, that's one of this season's must haves too isn't it? A floral blazer? Good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-got-for-my-thrift-returns#post-643783 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 01:24:14 +0000 Suz 643783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sexy Carmen Miranda!! It's perfect. That's really what that skirt was aiming for anyway, you know? So you got the same effect without the pineapple crotch. </p> <p>Love your new bag, too, you genius thrifer, you. And someone in Winnipeg is going to be very happy about your decision to leave off thrifting for a while. Somebody just your size, who has been waiting for the great loot you always get first! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-got-for-my-thrift-returns#post-643779 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 01:20:48 +0000 Abie 643779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the blazer! Lots of options there, it fits you perfectly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-got-for-my-thrift-returns#post-643777 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 01:18:55 +0000 Sarah A 643777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>looks like quite a score! I love the jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-got-for-my-thrift-returns#post-643772 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 01:13:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 643772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I returned the "pineapple crotch" skirt and the ill fitting sandals today to my local thrift store, which has an exchange only policy. I looked around the store a bit to see what was possible for my exchange and found two items I'm positively giddy over.</p> <p>The first is a Danier Leather black croc handbag with purple lining. I have a love for handbags and have slowly been building a variety of handbags and have been fortunate to thrift many good quality leather purses. Strangely enough I didn't have a plain black purse so this will very nicely fill that hole.</p> <p>The second item is a vibrant print lightweight cotton blazer (no label unfortunately) that makes me smile. This will not be everyone's cuppa that's for sure but that's ok. I'm showing it with my white jeans (which are now looking kind of wrinkly after 11 hours of wear!) as an example but can see it with any shade of denim, my denim skirt, over a dress, etc. </p> <p>(Suz - hubby said it looked like "sexy Carmen Miranda"! - lol)</p> <p>Anyway....done thrifting for a while. Need a break. What do you think of my treasures? </p>
