ADORE it! I love vintage coats for all the (expensive, ladylike) attention to detail, and your find is just so pretty! You wear it well, and your delightful story is a 'joi' to read.

WoW!! Great find! Yea, I keep saying I'm going to start going to more thrift stores but I get so lazy sometimes. You really have to have patience at those places because there is so much to sift through to find the good stuff it seems. But great job.

Whoa, you made my heart stop. This is seriously glamorous. And so on trend with cream and black. As usually you have found the ideal location for your outfit. You must be very observant about your greater environment to be able to have so many great locations to put into your WIWs/blogging effort.

Amazing coat deal or not deal (and amazing deal of course!). You look sensational!

You have a talent! Well played!

Omg!!! Gorgeous!!!! You have launched me into an orbit!! Love everything about this! And I have some serious thrifting envy.

Thanks so much everyone!!!

@April I am trying to picture that tuxedo style jacket - I know it was FABULOUS!

@Dylansmom Patience is key. I don't bother when I'm not in the mood, and sometimes I take months off

@CocoLion I do have a certain 'vision' for where I'd like to take pictures in different styles. I make notes of places we encounter and sometimes plan where I'd like to take pictures. Other times we drive until the 'feeling' hits me. I wonder what career would be better suited for this 'natural talent'! It certainly is not HR! LOL

Please pick my jaw up off of the floor.

I love this one million thousand trillion percent.

Amazing. Period.

@abc Thank you for the wonderfully kind compliment!

I love it too - and am a fellow thrifting addict (have been my entire life). Really terrific find!

Fantastic! You look amazing, and I love the choice of the black and white location as the backdrop for your beautiful outfit.

Thank you ladies!
It's always a delight to meet a fellow thrifter @ amiable

Wow- that coat makes your outfits soar. The photos are beautiful and thanks for sharing your remarkable finds, You look fab.

Absolutely gorgeous, and what a steal for the coat!

Thank you ladies! This coat is a 'must keep', 'must treasure', and must 'take care of'-
