If only the whole world operated with the generous spirit of this forum. Sigh.<br />Ok maudlin moment over.<br /><b>pirouette</b> - That is very kind and much appreciated.<br /><b>LJP</b> - Yes, I should think so, although I am an infamous self doubter .<br /><b>Janet</b> - Thank you! Bright pink is almost a neutral for me. I am not sure what I mean by that, but I think it is true.<br /><b>Joy</b> - Thank you!<br /><b>lyn67</b> - I, and my hair, thank you very much!<br /><b></b>Zaeobi<b></b> - We must be on similar weather schedules. I love when it is just cool enough for a coat but no colder . Thank you for the hair wish - I get most of my in person hair compliments from young women!<br /><b>Jenn</b> - Yes! Like I said just above, jacket weather, without the biting cold, is truly wonderful. I actually own a few pair of second hand AS98 because they are distributed locally and I love picking them up. Very sturdy and interesting styles.&nbsp;<br /><b>Helena</b> - Yes, time and energy are not infinite resources any more than money. And thank you!<br />Thank you <b>Sal</b> and <b>Dee</b>!<br /><b>Minaminu</b> - Thank you - I will try to show the coat in a better light next round!<br /><b>UmmLila</b> - I couldn't have picked better colors if I tried !<br />Thank you <b>Jonesy</b>! Truthfully most of my coats were pretty low cost - which why I can't stop collecting them. Thus the overabundance that I am now gearing up to share with others !<br /><b>Angie</b> - Thank you for your kind words! You said it - dull is not my problem right now. I am just now thinking that, despite our different styles, perhaps we both wear brights without the hesitation or self consciousness that people sometimes express. Brights seem natural on you and, I dare say, on me as well. Waiting for you to come borrow the pink coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294831 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 23:38:10 +0000 Jonesy 2294831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, these are all delightful, but 3 and 4 are especially awesome! Both coats are amazing--what a thrill to find the M Missoni coat for $8! You do indeed look fab in hot pink too, it must be said :). I totally hear you on leaving the job behind; privates sales of all of your beautifully curated treasures might be a fun and rewarding path for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294791 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 20:41:09 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2294791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, the colors in that new coat are amazing.

Go Team Shocking Pink, and looking fab as always, <b>Jaime</b> :)</p> <p>LOVE the pink coat in #2, and you can send that my way.....</p> <p>#3 = KILLER to the Power of KILLER. It's that short jacket combined with roomier bottoms that I like so much! I'm a sucker for shorter jackets. Jeans are an excellent fit. And the bright '60s earrings are sublime, adding a pretty glam playfulness to the look. LOVE!&nbsp;</p> <p>Goodbye thrift store job, and hello new family driver! Never a dull moment....</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294741 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 17:56:38 +0000 Sal 2294741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What lovely happy photos.

You certainly have the eye to run your own resale biz!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm envious of your AS98 boots. &nbsp;I browse their offerings often. The Missoni coat is a FIND! Isn't jacket weather the best? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294715 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 15:20:09 +0000 Zaeobi 2294715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's FINALLY 'sweater weather' over here too, but I can't say I looked half as fab as you the first time I pulled on a topper today (it's almost like I've forgotten how to dress for winter - I went outside in 3 layers instead of a coat today - my UK self is ashamed, lol!) </p> <p>Agree with Lyn that your hair steals the show though! I can only hope my curls look as fab &amp; full when they all turn grey </p> <p>Here's hoping the reselling goes well enough to make that a side gig instead (if that's what you wish). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294714 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 15:12:56 +0000 lyn67 2294714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your colorful coat Jamie, but your hair, sorry to say:-)...is always --and forever- beyond all! (Oh, and am all ears regarding&nbsp; your own resale biz?:-))</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294712 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 15:04:17 +0000 Anonymous 2294712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots to love here. I love that pink on you and the blue jacket. Good luck in you next endeavor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294708 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 14:21:28 +0000 Janet 2294708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfits, all! And the Missoni! Love that shocking pink on you too. Sorry to hear you're leaving the thrift store gig, but excited for your next phase!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294707 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 14:12:13 +0000 LJP 2294707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Running your own resale business would be really interesting! &nbsp;You certainly have the knowledge and experience to do so </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294657 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 05:19:47 +0000 pirouette 2294657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all the outfits but especially the pink coat is gorgeous on you. Best of luck in the future in whatever you choose to do you are so creative with such natural style whatever you do I’m sure it will be successful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294654 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 05:06:51 +0000 Jaime 2294654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all are so kind and really know how to boost a person's confidence, thank you all!<br />I forgot to mention the name of the blouse in #1 is <b>Liu Jo</b>. (The bag is Fausto Santini.) I was attracted to the print, had never heard of the designer, but it turns out it is sold on sites like Farfetch. Good enough for me !<br /><b>Lisa</b> - As much as I found the thrift store cashier job a fascinating experience at first, and there was a steep learning curve, in the last few months it had become a drag. The pay was quite low and I recently made about two week's salary in 2 hours with a mini-sale at my home, so I think I will be using my thrift store energy to intensify my own re-sale biz.<br /><b>slim cat </b>and <b>Carol</b> - Thank you so much! I do love a good jacket!<br /><b>Bijou</b> - I am ridiculously flattered to hear you think I have a signature style! :)<br /><b>Suz</b> - You are so lovely, thank you! Actually leaving the store has led to many more brilliant finds - I really hesitated buying things from the place I worked although I was absolutely allowed to do so. The Missoni coat and a few other exceptional finds are all a direct result of more time to go to random thrift shops where I have no professional relationship.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294651 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 04:41:39 +0000 Suz 2294651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. You look amazing in every one of these!&nbsp;</p> <p>First, the bright pink in 2 and 5 is stunning on you. So happy looking! Love it with the bits of red in the last pic -- channelling Angie! And the coat in #2 feels very Jackie O.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the top in #1. You have such a knack for discovering those little known designers and giving them the kind of appreciation they deserve!&nbsp;</p> <p>The Missoni of course is fantastic! What a score!&nbsp;</p> <p>I am sorry to hear about your decision to leave the job because it might mean fewer in-store photos, and possibly fewer brilliant finds, but if it is the right thing for you to do, by all means, glad it's over!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294647 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 04:11:07 +0000 Bijou 2294647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1, blew me away because the blouse is stunning on you and has a perfect support act - if this is your uniform, then bravo. What a find the Missoni coat is, such beautiful colours. You wear neutrals just as well as bright colours, all of these looks are amazing and speak to your signature style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294645 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 03:44:02 +0000 CarolS 2294645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaime, you always look so fabulous. That blouse in #1 is awesome, and the pink coat in #2 is beautiful on you. Exciting Missoni find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294642 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 03:37:43 +0000 slim cat 2294642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of great looks! Love the jacket in #3 and your new fav in #4 ( pink is gorgeous on your in #3 and in as sunny pic#5 )! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294638 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 03:18:09 +0000 LJP 2294638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - for “ nothing interesting “ , #1 is fabulous ! That blouse , and Dior shoes ?? Wow ! How do you feel about leaving your thrift store job ? Any plans for what might come next ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-weather-1#post-2294636 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 02:56:28 +0000 Jaime 2294636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry to announce that I have left the thrift store gig. Well actually I am not sorry, except for the consistency of my WIWs. Nothing dramatic, the cost/benefit balance just no longer worked in my favor.<br />Anyway, I have cobbled together some cooler weather WIWs.<br />#1 - Not that interesting but actually represents one of my ideal formulas: top and bag by little known designers (Fausto Santini, vintage designer shoes (Dior) and jeans.<br />#2 - First coat I wore when I could wear a coat - bright pink vintage (60s/70s).&nbsp;<br />#3 - Vintage cropped jacket (Miss V Valentino), worn with old boyfriend jeans cuffed up and thrifted AS98 boots.<br />#4 Ta Da! My most exciting thrifted find in a while and I am sorry the picture does not do it justice. M Missoni, brand new condition, thrifted at a charity shop for $8. Bag was probably a mistake and I will restyle it soon and, I hope, get a better shot of its grape and turquoise amazingness!<br />#5 And to leave you with a little sunshine, here I am in front of a nursery buying winter flowers with DH and new driver DD1. Glad I am getting my hair cut today.<br />I do not see anything in these pictures that I didn't buy second hand, either thrifted at a charity shop or a second hand consignment shop.<br />All comments or questions welcome of course, and styling and color pairing suggestions for the coat in #4 especially. Thanks for looking! </p>
