gap cords and more

Last week I scored two almost brand new Gap brown corduroy flared pants at my local thrift store. I was saving the tags, but misplaced them. Couldn't have been more that $12 a pair. I also got an amazing Bisou Bisou velvet dress that is perfect with a pair of pants I've had for several years of exactly the same material. An outfit made in heaven. Feels like pjs, looks like eveningwear. That's how I like to go to work in the winter.
Today was the first day of the season that I wore the fur coat I bought 2 years ago for a whopping $85. I remember torturing myself about the purchase before actually going for it. And I haven't regretted it a moment. PETA be blessed. When it's cold outside I want fur, even though I would never buy one new. I feel I am honoring the poor animal souls who died for the coat, by rescuing it from a thrift store.
I think I'm up to 3 mouton coats rescued from street and store. Not a one of them more than $10. My favorite is ripped in spots, and I've turned it inside out so the leather is on the outside. Love that coat.
Will post pics soon, I promise.
For now, be inspired by my tales. And get thee to a thrift store. Maybe I should do thrift store excusions? What a blast that would be!
