Thrifting, Part 398

Dress: Navy Floral Fit & Flare Dress by London Times (size 8) via Gwynnie Bee

Sandals: Born via Poshmark

All Jewelry: Colleen Toland

Stats: 5'7" 38-32-42

I liked the asymmetrical placement of the bright blooms on this

cute casual conservative dress. It was a good fit, although I'm not fond of the blouson top...I think it looks sloppy & makes my boobs look oversized & out of proportion. I wore it to work a few times & it also went thrifting with me.  

 

I had 3 dresses from Gwynnie Bee at home during this time...2 I sent back without getting photos. I'm just tired of such boring dresses, but I enjoyed the colorfulness of this one. 

I found these brand new red floral sandals on Poshmark & this is my first time wearing them.

The jewelry I chose wasn't quite the right match...but it was close enough & the right size...I wanted a necklace that didn't overlap the dress too much. 

My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Sabbath, Huda Beauty Coral Obsessions eyeshadow palette, Acidberry eyeshadow from Sugarpill, Bite Beauty lipliner in 72, Dozen Carnation lipstick by MAC, & ILNP nail polish in Atomic Sherbet.

I wore this dress to buy myself flowers at the farmers' market following Pilates. I'm always checking out my butt. 

Don't touch it. Thrifting at the Northside Goodwill on a 50% off Monday tag sale. I can't remember the brand of that corduroy jacket, but it was ~$175 new...they are a brand that sells to boutiques & they dye their garments to order so your store has a signature color you can't get anywhere else. I'm grateful to whoever chose pumpkin orange...I'll need to make an outfit around that before the season changes. 

I had good luck with workout wear that day...in colors I adore. $7 for an Anthropologie skirt in mixed prints! I just don't understand why everyone isn't thrifting. 2 of my pieces were 50% off orange tags.

I also came home to my first pair of Jeffrey Campbell Lita shoes that I found via eBay for a steal...they were all the rage in 2010...but I couldn't wear heels back then. They come in 1,000s of colors & patterns...I just went for the ones in my size at the lowest price that I liked. It would have been too overwhelming to decide otherwise. And on another after work thrifting expedition the next day...either before or after the Eastside Tuesday market. Vinny's on Willy St... 

I hit the jackpot on vintage that day...just check out all the gorgeous prints! 

The tags & shoulder pads were still intact in this black & red striped blouse. My favorite piece was this bright floral homemade skirt...I gasped. The lower right photo is my non-vintage finds, including a shirt for David.

The first skirt is sparkly gold! We have an apple CSA this year & it has been fun trying new varieties...we especially liked this one...we both prefer sweet tart crisp apples. Trying on clothes for The Cure...I decided on this velvet striped fit & flare dress that I thrifted (surprise!)...

Picking out dresses for Kate to try on...

And as long as I'm dropping stuff off at Kate's...I had to pop into the Goodwill down the street...

More fun workout wear. Oh! An order of deeply discounted tights from Snag. Conditioning my vintage 1990 Fluevog boots. And texting Kate this bat necklace...am I too old for this?
