Thrift Gloat
Another trip to our favorite thrift store yielded, as usual, some great finds. I must begin with this blue dress.
Polyester. Zipper. Shoulder pads. Primary color. Boxy sleeves. Check, check, and check. And yet, somehow, despite all of these horrific 80’s trademarks, this dress attains Epic status. Behold.
The silhouette! It is divine, no? LOVE LOVE LOVE. Although I wish I knew the label! Someone must have found it scratchy.
The brown coat. Made of a strange fabric not unlike felt. Very warm. This coat has a great shape as well. I love cool weather! (Exqueeze the bad shots, I need a battery for my remote.)
Closeup of the grey leather boots! I have A Knack for picking up shoes with no label. But they are lovely boots, elephantine in their greyness. (Did you know, I hate the spelling “gray”? I do.)
Oh, and guess what:
I paid 1.00 for each of these pretties. ‘Cause that’s how Jueves rolls.
