Oh is this thing still here? I took off from work at Noon this past Friday, and thought it would be fun to visit a bunch of Goodwill stores in one day. Although I did not get a ton of clothes, I think I got some great quality pieces that I will use for a long time. Here we go! The first one is a Lane Bryant jacket in a houndstooth design (black and brown) with some beading on the collar. I doubt it had ever been worn, as the tack on the back vent was still there. Cost was $7.99. The shirt underneath is black, 3/4 sleeve, with a really nice neckline. Cost was $4.49.
Here we have a lovely woven jacket - mostly green, but black and light blue are in the weave as well. Very much reminded me of Chanel. Again, this was in pristine shape. Score! Cost was $7.99. Underneath the jacket is a Chico's black sleeveless top. Cost was $4.49. The super long scarf was a find from many trips ago. It goes PERFECTLY with the colors in the jacket. Didn't have anything that went with the piece until I got this jacket, so I am really happy. I think the scarf was $3 ish?
My awful pictures don't do these pieces justice, but the below jacket is simply gorgeous. It looks like raw silk, in a lovely celery green, with a bronzey (is that a word?) tan floral design. I already had the silk scarf and shell (that matches perfectly) in my wardrobe. Jacket was $7.99.
I nearly flipped my wig when I found this next shirt. When I first saw it, I had my doubts, but when I tried it on, all doubt went away. The embroidery is so lively and fun. I already had the tank in my collection. Shirt was $4.49.
And here's the back. Love love love!
The shirt was the find in this next photo. It is Coldwater Creek, in a very nice avocado shade. I paired the shirt with a Cato jacket I found in a previous expedition, and although you can't tell from my lousy photo, there are greenish flecks on the jacket. So yay! Cost of shirt was $4.49
Although not shown, I also purchased a great black maxi skirt ($4.29), and a pair of jeans ($7.49). I'll save the jeans for a later post that details my jean shopping strategy. So, for under $60, I purchased 3 jackets, 4 shirts, a pair of jeans and a skirt. I think I did great!
