Well why not? More thrift store selfies

It is still "winter" here, surprisingly as this batch of selfies attest.
I went to Tel Aviv last week for my 6 week haircut and naturally stopped into a charity shop there. Imagine my delight to find a black and white striped Dries van Noten top. I think it is men's but of course I had to wear it asap:
#1 Said top with black jacket and jeans and a little pattern smash with the boots.
#2 DD2 came by the shop an graciously agreed to be in my selfie. Wearing a newish to me, very old Israeli jacket (ATA). Not sure if this is a keeper.
#3 Speaking of DDs they have recently cleaned out their closets and returned a few things to me. These are vintage Marithe Girbaud jeans - a label I have found a surprising lot of in Israel.
#4 Vintage wool cable knit sweater was another return from DD. Just the thing in a cold shop with a broken heater.
All comments always welcome. I am not sure about #2 and #3, #4 is total comfort zone, and I like #1 but might tweak it a bit next time I wear something similar.

You look gorgeous in all the pictures but as I love black and white one is my favourite. Your hair is beautiful.

kellygirl

Omg, you are a treat! I love everything especially the last two denim outfits. So glad that DD return to your closet every once in awhile. Keeps things fresh!

rachylou

You have the best pieces. They’re all wonderful - love your jacket in 2 and sweater in 4, but 3 is probably my favourite because I always loved Marithe Francois… I should go find my Marithe shoes…

Mirjana

Oh, you are a treat! First, all outfits are beautiful on you , lovely pieces. My favorite is #1, so elegant and chic, but I also love #3 and #4.

You look FIERCE so cool in #1

Gotta love the daughterly head on the shoulder too, awwwwww

Brooklyn

You and DD look gorgeous!

I love the jacket in no 2 but I find the pants a little distracting because of the similar patch pockets. I’d go for concealed or no pockets on the pants.

You find the best things.

merwoman

Black and white is a slam dunk for you, absolutely love beautiful you in pic one.
Agreeing with wise Brooklyn on pic 2, why not try the cream sweater with those pants?

YLF, Shevia-no matter whaT-and you always have the best cuts! + Long live those beauties in nr 2!

Laurie

Wow, really love #1 and 4 - you look just fab. Sweet to see DD2! Having only sons, I do not know the joys (and sorrows) of sharing clothing with daughters.

Angie

I can't get past photo #1!

KILLER. Your haircut is sublime, and the bookended snake boots match beautifully! So do your fab brows, and the stripey blouse. Mega yummy harmony and textural pattern mixing

DD is adorable! And this once tiny baby twin gal is now towering over her Mama! Fab layering, and has Mama's fab brows to match.

I think the jacket in #2 is begging for a skirt or blue jeans to befriend it

#3 has a delightful Sergeant Pepper look to it, and #4 is a classic. Always wonderful to see your looks, Jaime. This new job comes with perks for YLF!

nuancedream

So gorgeous, Jamie. I want those Marithe Girbaud jeans and so lovely to see DD2!

Jaime

Thank you all. A lot of my courage in wearing whatever I want comes from your supportive and kind comments and each one is truly appreciated.
pirouette Thank you! I should say my hair looks different depending if the picture is before a morning shift (still damp) or after an afternoon shift (dry).
kellygirl - Yes, I had forgotten all about those items!
rachylou - I want to see the shoes!
Mirjana - You always say something lovely!
Jessikams - I never thought I would make it through their teen years so well .
Brooklyn and merwoman- Thanks you! Good suggestions. That outfit didn't quite work for me.
lyn67 -
Laurie - I am lucky!
nuancedream - These are the relatively tamest pair in my MG collection :).
Angie - You are so nice! Will try the jacket with something else next time. Love the idea of a Sergeant Pepper look. Yes, when I started following YLF that young woman was around 2 years old. Hard to believe!

Your twins are getting sooo big! Your thrift store selfies are so much fun. Don’t stop.

slim cat

Fabulous haircut and fun outfits - #1 pic as a favorite but all are super nice. Cute pic with your daughter .

Suz

Oh, wow -- I love your HAIR, first of all -- just gorgeous. It is looking better and better every day! How is that even possible?

But I also love that first outfit, especially. So cool with the top and bookended booties!

Also, what a delight to see DD in photo 2. That's a fun outfit, too. I like the combo of the jacket with the pants.

Sob-- Mr. Suz is on his way to Israel in a few days and I can't go because I am teaching....(well, and $, too, plus staying home with child.) But it is his first visit in years due to Covid and he is excited (if a bit nervous) to go.

Wow to #1 especially!

You look great in all those outfits! And I love your hair.

Sal

Well as always they are all great but I especially love the first and last!! The jeans are great that your daughter has returned...(that made me chuckle).

Carla

Fabulosity! Just pack up everything in #1 and send to me, please - and include that cute brown jacket in #3 ❤️.

JAileen

How lucky you are to have daughters who give you their castoffs! I particularly like #4. It’s very 70s to me. The boots in #1 are just outstanding.

Firecracker (Sharan)

What a treat! Outfit 1 is super chic! Love it from the haircut to the "pattern smash" booties (I like your term). I really like the combo of the top and blazer on you.

I also adore your total comfort zone outfit. What a cozy looking sweater and the whole outfit has just the perfect amount of slouch.

The other two are adorably chic also. Your jacket game is strong! You + your daughter= priceless!

Thank you Joy and Slimcat. Yes, it is a bit crazy to live with three adults that are also your babies!
Suz - What a shame that you can't come! I am sure Mr. Suz is eager to see the kids. My hair is in the hands of my lovely hairdresser and she is very talented .
suntiger and quinta22 -
Sal - Yes, it is a new twist on shopping my closet .
Runcarla - Nope sorry you will have to come and get them .
Jaileen - Thank you!
Sharan - Yes, the one advantage of the longer winter/cold shop is I get more time to wear my favorite jackets!

Debbie

My favorite is you with your gorgeous daughter. #1 looks amazing and your hair is beautiful.

The Cat

#1 is my favourite. Very fab and elegant.

Jonesy

#1! #1! #1! Perfection! Love the Dries top, naturally, and the boots are really spectacular! I love the fisherman's sweater too--it looks like a perfect version of one. In #2, the two sets of prominent pockets kind of compete, IYKWIM. I would probably style that jacket open with a t-shirt and some rugged, dropped crotch pants. Maybe with #3, add a layer underneath the jacket that peeks out a few inches from the jacket?

Love your hair, and the pic with your daughter is delightful. Please keep sharing your WIWs--I find them inspiring.
