You did get me thinking though when you said you removed stains - I weed out all the stained items before they get to the shop floor. But if your store had done that, you would never have found this.&nbsp;<br />Anyway, love the all thrifted, fab looking outfit on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-papa-ralph-meets-st-pat#post-2382467 Tue, 18 Mar 2025 00:36:29 +0000 Ket 2382467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh how fun! And what a surprise that the tee was still there. (I know which rule you speak of ) Your boots are ZINGERS! Love them! </p> <p>I’m part Irish and while I didn’t do much celebrating today (because I’m utterly pooped out with mom life and errands), I love celebrating my Irish heritage. Slainte! Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-papa-ralph-meets-st-pat#post-2382461 Tue, 18 Mar 2025 00:09:04 +0000 Suz 2382461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are the cutest RL acolyte ever!

I always enjoy shorts paired with a jacket or blazer, it’s such a fun combination. And how lucky that the top was waiting for you when you returned to pick it up.

I hope you enjoy the day. Your hair is fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-papa-ralph-meets-st-pat#post-2382421 Mon, 17 Mar 2025 08:10:01 +0000 Jenni NZ 2382421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you *look* fabulously Irish with the red hair. Red is the only not-my-own colour I have ever dyed my hair, a few times in my 20s, and it was certainly in Ireland (1989) that I got the most comments about being a natural redhead- which I wasn’t! I also bought the most beautiful blue tweed outfit at the Irish Woollen Mills, which was possibly in Blarney.<br /> This outfit is so fun. YLF!<br /> I also like Blue Collar Red Lipstick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-papa-ralph-meets-st-pat#post-2382418 Mon, 17 Mar 2025 05:01:53 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2382418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nearly a year ago, I went to Dublin, and fell in love with that city, HARD. I am not Irish, but oh my goodness, Ireland felt like coming home. </p> <p>So when I found this shirt at Goodwill the other day, I squealed with joy and put it in my cart. I spent another hour browsing, found a few other things (that I bought)… and then put this shirt back. Why??? I don’t know.</p> <p>Well darned if I wasn’t regretting my decision by the time I got home. And if you thrift, you know there is one Universal Law of Thrifting : if you don’t grab it when you see it, someone else will.</p> <p>Two days later, I got back to the store, and rapture! it was still there. I treated some stains, laundered it carefully, and wore it today for a band rehearsal. </p> <p>“Papa Ralph” is how Adina of ‘Blue Collar, Red Lipstick’, refers to Ralph Lauren in her outfit posts, and I’ve adopted the habit. None of these pieces are RL, but the inspiration is from different seasons of Polo, and their discontinued Denim &amp; Supply line. Preppy, and a bit athleisure.</p> <p>The entire outfit, excluding jewelry, has been thrifted over the past five years. I bought the jacket during the pandemic, when things reopened. </p> <p>Jacket: Trovata Vintage Tweed<br /> Shirt: Old Navy<br /> Belt: Frye<br /> Shorts: Loft<br /> Boots: the brand stamp is faded, but they are leather, made in Brazil.<br /> Bag: IIIBeca by Joy Grayson</p> <p>With tax, this outfit came in under $40. </p> <p>I’m going to wear the shirt again tomorrow, in a different outfit. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! (even though I bat for the pagans). </p>
