Thrift Finds and An Easy Peasy Outfit for Thrifting

Another week of thrift finds and, as long as the thrift gods are kind, I'll post these once a week. There is a one week delay from the time the thrift items are found and the time that I post, so these are from last week. The Easy Peasy outfit I wore for thrifting this week can be found at the bottom of this page.

Let's take a look at last weeks finds. To begin, a light weight fall coat:

I love this Ann Taylor 3/4 length coat; it's very dark brown, almost black. It's not warm enough for winter, but will work well into the fall.

Although the shoes look grey/black they are really navy on navy.  The belt is black and leopard print with silver buckle.  It wasn't a great bargain, but a very nice belt. It actually looks great with the Ann Taylor coat, above.

Again, blue just doesn't show well -- I don't know if it's the camera or the lighting. This shirt is a blue on off-white print and I don't believe was ever worn. Remember the Oscar de la Renta thrifted jacket from last week. For a pattern mix look, this shirt works great with the jacket and a solid blue skirt.

The following sweater has an issue.

It has a couple of stains on the right cuff; maybe I'll get lucky and the stains will come out. It's worth a try.

How else am I going to get a Brooks Brothers sweater for $9.99. This next gray sweater is 3/4 sleeves and will work nicely in my winter wardrobe.

I don't know about this next item. It fits perfectly, but I'm not sure about the dress style.

At the price, I had to give it a try. Later this week, or sometime next week, I'll try styling this dress, take a few pictures, and ask for your ideas and input.

I thrifted on Tuesday of this week and wore something easy to get in and out of. (I'll post new thrift items next week.) I also needed to run to the market when I got home and knew the outfit would be perfect for riding my grocery store bike. I wanted to take a photo of me with the bike. Unfortunately, my tires were flat, so I drove anyway. 

 The dress is a little too short -- I prefer a little longer -- but it's oh so easy to get in and out of and is very comfortable. I wore easy peasy fabric flats.

Briefly accessorized with skinny belt, necklace, and bracelet.
