Your Oxfam store is a treasure. Few of our thrift stores are open, and then by appointment only. They weren’t accepting donations for a long time (no volunteers allowed yet), but may be taking a few things now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2150471 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 19:06:25 +0000 Jane 2150471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Lyn67. I love it too! </p> <p>Thank you Avicenna!

I’m so impressed with your Oxfam shop! No such store in my city. I liked the hooded jacket, but if it doesn’t work it should go back. And the bird scarf — love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2150417 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 13:30:43 +0000 lyn67 2150417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, love the DG jacket sooo much, perfect fit and proportion(I guess) for the all black outfit with the midi pleated skirt-which I have one too, and couldn't figure how to style it for smart (and not dressy)!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2150201 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 17:59:21 +0000 Jane 2150201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you so much for your comments on my cream boots, you have such a good memory! These are getting ready to come out to play shortly! </p> <p>I know! Someone in Oxfam is collecting a special Jane capsule! </p> <p>That’s a great article Runcarla thank you for the link. (We need an Oxfam shop in Chelsea!) It’s all part of DYOT maybe? </p> <p>Thank you Sal, I feel very lucky! </p> <p>Thank you Barbara Diane, the scarf makes me feel very pulled together with my new outerwear capsule! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2150192 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 16:57:12 +0000 Barbara Diane 2150192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially like the scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2150098 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 08:14:16 +0000 Sal 2150098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great additions - I wonder if the pieces can’t from the same donor? So good when you have a successful second hand splurge like this!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2150077 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 00:31:07 +0000 Carla 2150077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might like this article, Jane! &nbsp;You are on trend, and maybe ahead of the curve?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/22/style/upcycling-fashion.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/1.....shion.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2150051 Sun, 25 Oct 2020 18:22:25 +0000 Angie 2150051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER OXFAM scores!! WOW! Love it all. There is someone donating who is your style and body double. Fortuitous :)</p> <p>Could the hooded jacket you are doubting become a weekend look? Cute with your cream casual boots.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love Seasalt Clothing. Good stuff for our types of climates. AND size inclusive.

I think you are right <b>Slimcat</b> about the pocket placement. <b>Kellygirl,</b> I think that are right - the jacket was a bit too off my normal range of items and if it had a little bit more room in it, I think it would have been good.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you <b>Cardiffgirl</b>, Seasalt is a regular haunt by mum and I on our socially distanced Saturday coffee meet-ups. (I am so fortunate to live near her - thinking of you). The skirt lining will make me smile in very serious meetings!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Shevia,</b> I am really grateful that Oxfam provides such great returns service. It really does make buying from them possible.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>JAileen</b>, thank you the bird scarf is going to be a workhorse. It goes with all sorts of things and is cosy! I thought you'd like it! &nbsp;</p> <p><b>Bijou </b>thank you, that is is helpful tip. I think it is a causal jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2150021 Sun, 25 Oct 2020 10:09:27 +0000 Lynne 2150021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep both jackets, they're lovely!

I like the Vanessa Bruno jacket and agree with Shevia, maybe some tailoring can help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2150013 Sun, 25 Oct 2020 08:23:35 +0000 Liesbeth 2150013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these pieces too, including the jacket! Jealous at your second-hand with returns option ;). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2150007 Sun, 25 Oct 2020 03:49:46 +0000 Bijou 2150007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Brooklyn, I love all of these on you and think the hooded jacket is a beautiful piece for business casual occasions (if you have them). I would pair that jacket with jeans or a denim skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2150004 Sun, 25 Oct 2020 03:40:51 +0000 Brooklyn 2150004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Scored! Love the first jacket in particular. I actually really like the hooded jacket too. It’s fashiony and unique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2149997 Sun, 25 Oct 2020 03:18:39 +0000 Jaime 2149997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to designer pieces at Zara or less prices! I think the Vanessa Bruno jacket has potential but need to see it with a whole outfit. But if you don't like it, no need. The first jacket looks great. Hope to see the other pieces modeled soon . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2149981 Sat, 24 Oct 2020 21:05:52 +0000 Cardiff girl 2149981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are doing well out of Oxfam!Love that skirt lining and Seasalt are very good for gloves.l have a pair of mittens from them and they are the warmest gloves I have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2149968 Sat, 24 Oct 2020 16:42:24 +0000 JAileen 2149968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of it. &nbsp;Your thrift store has amazing pieces. &nbsp;I especially love the bird scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2149963 Sat, 24 Oct 2020 16:12:46 +0000 kellygirl 2149963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are terrific. I love the jacket in 1 on you. The style and fabric are perfect. I think the hooded jacket is nice but it doesn't look like your usual style style--more casual perhaps? I could see it playing nicely with jeans or cords.&nbsp;<br />You look fab as always.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2149961 Sat, 24 Oct 2020 16:07:37 +0000 kkards 2149961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow...great scores!<br /> If I was picking a winner it would be the jacket in #1, it looks like to was made for you. The fit looks great, and it just seems so your style. Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2149956 Sat, 24 Oct 2020 15:51:44 +0000 slim cat 2149956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute and polished! I like the jacket in #4-6 except for the front pockets placement - seems too high to me ( although it looks great on you ).</p> <p>Pretty pieces all around - love the scarf ( I found the scarf video addictive too ). You look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-4#post-2149954 Sat, 24 Oct 2020 15:43:26 +0000 Jane 2149954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are some photos from the last week&nbsp;</p> <p>1 &amp; 2 a Dolce and Gabbana jacket via Oxfam. Love this! Such a cute shape and fits so well.&nbsp;</p> <p>3 Thumbhole mitts from Seasalt, reversible.&nbsp;</p> <p>4 / 5 / 6 Cute jacket from Oxfam, Vanessa Bruno, very cosy but may be not for me. All comments welcome. I think it is going back&nbsp;</p> <p>7 / 8 reversible scarf from Seasalt, lovely and I tried a scarf tie from Angie's video link earlier this week (a totally addictive video!). Andy when I find the right sneaks and they have white soles, this will book end them nicely!</p> <p>9 a Vanessa Bruno from Oxfam jacket that is a perfect fit and gorgeous</p> <p>10 / 11 a Dolce and Gabbana skirt via Oxfam with pockets, good fit and delicious lining.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, it seems that Oxfam is my new go to store! The items are inexpensive and say by comparison slightly lower than Zara. And returns are easy.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love to all fabbers on what is a wet and windy Saturday in south east UK.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
