Love the story, love the jacket!!!

The queen of thrifting strikes again with another amazing find!
Will you come up here and share some of your amazing Karma with me? All I ever find is stuff from Chico's and mom jeans!

You look just beautiful in your new coat, Claire, as well as in the crisp navy and white of your WIW.

What a spectacular find! And it's total perfection on you, Claire. Hooray!

This is so amazing Claire! Love the trench, and how it fits on you. What a find!
I have been also tremendously enjoying your posts, you are such a good writer. Have you ever considered writing short stories? It seems to me that you would be amazing at it.

WOW!!!!!! What an amazing find, and it looks fabulous.

You are such a great storyteller too!

KILLER new little trench!!

Thank you Angie for the KILLER! Woo-hooooooooo!

Thank you everyone for reading and commenting. I'm off to DFS now, have a happy day!

You lucky duck, it is really, really beautiful on you.

I love the chain above the label, is it comfortable against the neck?

Amazing! Silk lining, you lucky duck. And a great length and color for AZ. Major high five!

What a score!!!!

Oh my goodness gracious. That trench was meant to be yours. It is perfect in fit, in style, in everything. And Celine? Is that the same company that makes the famous It handbags? (They look like they have smiley faces.) Wow, Claire. Stupendous and again, you sucked us all into the drama!

You were right to play it cool and snatch it up to take home. I am SOOOOOOOOO happy for you. The fit is impeccable. I say cut off the other epaulet and keep it moving. I love the cut and fit of this jacket SO much. You lucky lucky off-duty princess -- this is certainly worthy of your crown. *bows in admiration of your great eye*

What a score! I am so happy you found it, and thanks for sharing the whole story with us.

Your Goodwill is the best ever, Claire! Seriously.

Gorgeous little jacket Claire!! And as usual the write up doesn't disappoint, I feel like I was right there with you

Now that is my kind of thrifting success story The jacket looks beautiful and I see Diane has solved the missing epaulet issue:) Now Im itching to go thrifting lol

Such a wonderful story, and it could happen to a more lovely lady!

Gorgeous trench, and it's on trend white!

i wasn't gonna read all lol im too tired but then i was curious so i read after all hahaha that's such a amazing find!!!!!!!!!

You didn't find a white trench... you found a white unicorn! I'm totally dying of jealousy!

Une histoire drole (a funny story), Claire! You made us all feel we were right there in the fitting room with you and Mademoiselle Celine (crowded, n'est-ce pas?).

I am so happy for you and can't wait to see how you style it. Thanks to your beautiful storytelling, it is *entrenched* in our memories now, forever!

Very cute!

The pricing at thrift store is baffling sometimes. I found a lovely heather grey cashmere sweater last week for $2.99.

I'm OMGing over here too! What a great story, great find, great jacket -- looks sooooo good on you! It was meant to be

Love the way you and the coat squirreled away for the fit test. So perfect for you and you asked all the right questions on your checklist. Glad there was no group tussle at the door. Home safe and now you can decide on the minor fix.

Great story and great find. But what I love.most is that you know what you are.looking for. Not just random thrift items and not just anything that was designer or expensive at one time,, but items that look great on you and work for you.
