I'm learning to be pickier about consignment/thrift shopping, and it's staring to pay off..:-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-mostly-consignment-outfit#post-2052878 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 23:02:16 +0000 Katerina 2052878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful outfit! You look gorgeous. Fabulous consignment finds and how great that they all complement each other so nicely. I especially admire the cardigan - fun and unique piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-mostly-consignment-outfit#post-2052874 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 22:56:35 +0000 Chris987 2052874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Angie!</b> I do occasionally like cool tones...although this sweater reads as mostly warm to my eye.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>cindysmith</b>&nbsp;thanks, and totally agree with you on LC. The fabrics&nbsp; used in today's LC items are very inexpensive and often rather awful IMHO, although the colors and prints can be nice,&nbsp; but occasionally they are ok. As you say almost always awful for heat and humidity. I've read some interesting articles about how the decision LC made to partner with JCP turned out to be the demise of the brand. She was the first woman to be CEO of (and founder of ) a fortune 500 company but like all CEOs she was&nbsp; human and capable of mistakes. It's a sad tale.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-mostly-consignment-outfit#post-2052858 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 22:24:22 +0000 cindysmith 2052858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice outfit, you look great!<br /> I, too, remember the old Liz Claiborne stuff and miss the quality. The JCPenney stuff is pretty, but the fabrics would just suffocate me in the Texas heat </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-mostly-consignment-outfit#post-2052726 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 17:22:08 +0000 Angie 2052726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS. Flattering and chic.&nbsp;</p> <p>What a great palette for your complexion. Brings out your pretty rosy cheeks.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Chris</b>, you wear cool tones better than you think!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-mostly-consignment-outfit#post-2052668 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 12:50:07 +0000 Chris987 2052668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes<b> Runcarla!</b>&nbsp;Thanks, and first time ever I've been a day ahead of a YLF daily blog posting!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-mostly-consignment-outfit#post-2052665 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 12:37:49 +0000 Carla 2052665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Looks like the blog post blogger's column of white outfit! Nice cardi and hair looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-mostly-consignment-outfit#post-2052664 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 12:26:31 +0000 Chris987 2052664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Tammyb!</b> I find about 80% of Nic &amp; Zoe prints to be "meh", but when I find one I like I REALLY like it. </p> <p>Thanks <b>torontogirl&nbsp;</b>and<b> kellygirl! </b></p> <p>yes Joy, it is a great consignment shop. I'm glad I re-discovered it. </p> <p><b>Suntiger</b>, I don't have a specific goal of doing more consignment shopping so I may end up with only a few pieces a year too. I just wanted to find some better sources. </p> <p><b>Shevia</b> - great point about consignment shoes sometimes being never worn, tried and rejected. I've been spending too much time in lower end thrift stores I guess, where the shoes are pretty awful. LOL. </p> <p><b>MaineLady,</b> I agree about Nic &amp; Zoe - so pretty etc. As I said earlier I like about 25% of their prints and I also find them just a little overpriced but when they are right they are worth the price, to me anyway. They are a Massachusetts company with corporate HQ literally across the street from the mall I visit the most - for those who know greater Boston that's the Natick Mall. They are apparently best known for knitwear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-mostly-consignment-outfit#post-2052636 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 10:08:46 +0000 Mainelady 2052636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great success! I love the colors and fluidity of the Nic and Zoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-mostly-consignment-outfit#post-2052612 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 03:27:51 +0000 kellygirl 2052612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty. Those soft colors and abstract print look so modern and pretty on you! Those sandals are fab!! You look terrific.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-mostly-consignment-outfit#post-2052610 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 03:13:25 +0000 Jaime 2052610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So happy to have had a bit in inspiring you! The cardigan is the star piece -the pattern and colors are great. Second hand shoes can be amazing bargains at the consignment store. Often they are never worn or tried once and rejected.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-mostly-consignment-outfit#post-2052576 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 00:41:23 +0000 Anonymous 2052576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful cardi, and great sandal find too! I like to discover the new with tags things on consignment too, though only end up with a few consigned pieces a year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-mostly-consignment-outfit#post-2052575 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 00:41:08 +0000 Anonymous 2052575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful finds.

Love the Cardi. What a find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-mostly-consignment-outfit#post-2052568 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 00:28:39 +0000 Chris987 2052568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been a lifelong fan of thrift and consignment shopping. In the last few years I’ve had have had mixed success, sometimes bringing home things of poor quality, prints and styles that look dated, or things I just didn’t feel like wearing. </p> <p>Recent postings by Roxanna, Suz, Shevia, and others have inspired me to try to up my game. </p> <p>I recently started acupuncture treatments for my back muscle issues (which seem to be helping some), and remembered that right across the street from my acupuncturist’s office is a consignment ship I had not been in for quite a few years. Serendipity? Turns out they have really nice stuff. It’s in a pretty affluent town, has been around for years, and seems to have a loyal following of both sellers and buyers. Good formula. </p> <p>Wore this to a “music on the patio” evening with DH at a local restaurant that is our usual birthday/anniversary place. It has fab food and a slightly dressier vibe than most places around us. errific Zydeco/Cajun band on a gorgeous evening. I was almost but not quite a little too wwarm in this outfit. </p> <ul> <li>Cardigan – Nic &amp; Zoe (visit #1 to the consignment store). Tags cut but feels like a linen blend. Love the print. If I’m wearing my “fit perfection” hat I’d probably shorten it a little but I don’t think I will, I’m kind of liking the longer length. (pics show front and back of the cardigan)</li> <li>Tank – Liz Claiborne (visit #1) …the old brand before it was sold to JCP, which was so much nicer quality than it is today. Still had tags on! It sat in someone’s closet for over a decade unworn. </li> <li>Jeans – a Macy’s brand from last year.</li> <li>Sandals – Rockports (visit #2 to same consignment store). First time I’ve ever bought second hand shoes. These looked hardly worn, perfect color for me, and very comfortable. All the straps adjust with Velcro, which has become my new favorite sandal style because I can make it tight enough on my low volume feet. </li> <li>Bag – Vince Camuto Aug 2018 at Nordstrom Rack</li> <li>Bracelet – Kate Spade bought at TJMaxx a few months ago. </li> <li>Watch – Ann Klein bought earlier this year.</li> </ul>
