Happy almost-Friday! This is a coat I found in mint condition at Value Village, while on a little thrifting adventure. It was $14.99 but it kinda smelt a bit like patchouli so I got it dry cleaned. Guess how much that cost? $30! If you're good at math (I'm not) that's double the price I paid for it! Oh well. You live, you learn. Next time I'm going to a cheaper dry cleaner...
Do you thrift shop? What is your favorite find?
You look so gorgeous, I love that coat on you <3

trust me a camel coat for $45 is still worth it, plus it looks so nice on your skin tone.

$45 is still cheaper than you'd pay for it brand new, so I say it's still a score! Loving these pro photos of yourself, your hair looks great pin straight like that =)
ReplyDeleteThese photos are amazing!! You look so great and I love your coat. I got a vintage skirt once for $19 and ended up having to pay $25 to hem it, urggh.

Wow what an amazing find, that coat is GORGEOUS! (I had that same problem once, got a blazer and it smelled really bad, my mom had it dry cleaned but it didn't help so she kept it, ha ha)

In my books smelling like patchouli is a good thing! These photos make Edmonton look like a real city. Love it.

I LOVE this look, and I also love your new coat! It's the perfect color. And your fringe looks awesome with it. Weirdest comment ever? Maybe.
ReplyDeletePatchouli is like, the grossest scent ever to me. Ew. Still, $45 for that coat isn't too bad...right? Sure!
I've totally had that happen to me with thrifting and then paying for dry cleaning! I also couldn't pick a favorite thrifted item, there are just too many.....
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention how fabulous you look in that coat!
ReplyDeleteLove this look, that ring on your right hand caught my eye!
