    Default Your Clothing Thrift / Consignment Store Finds, Steals, Scores, NSVs :)

    I'm starting this thread so we can share pix of our thrift and consignment store big scores. This thread is open to both men and women, so join in, all.

    Oh My Gawd! I scored so big this past week at a local clothing consignment shop. This place has a trove of St. John outfits and individual pieces.

    And this absolutely precious, long-sleeved, Chanel-esque turquoise jacket with turquoise and gold buttons was ... wait for it, say it with me ... $39!

    You just know this piece had an original price tag of over $1,000. And it's so cute with jeans -- both denim and white.

    Score!

    (click to enlarge; BTW, it's much more turquoise than blue)

    Dammit Ann. I was going to go back and buy that for myself!



    Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake.

    PS: When and if you ever get to the Phx area OMG Anne can I show you some places around here? It would keep us busy for a month. High end Goodwills. My Sisters Closet. I hit the thrift places at least once a week. Mostly I go for household items and small furniture because I have enough clothes.

    I recently found a black lambskin leather jacket, a wool coat and a camel hair suit. The thrift store gave you medium sized bags and you could fill them to the brim and pay only $20. I also got several more lighter jackets. They were wonderful wardrobe builders.


    "Lee, by "own it!" your daughter means that you should be proud of your accomplishment and understand that you deserve this. Not because you have to pay it forward or backward to justify your own benefits. She means that this is YOUR accomplishment, and accomplishing that for yourself is enough. You do not have to fix everybody. And you do not owe anyone for the benefits you have earned. They are YOURS!" Ann2
