Saturday, goodwill: blue denim dress (what i unfortunately DIDN'T thrift this week was this amazing pair of cowboy boots i saw at the same time as this dress, which would have paired perfectly for a little fun, but i was having a hard time shelling out $12.99 for them... what was i thinking??? i regretted it the rest of the week, and even went back on monday to see if they were still there... they weren't.)
Monday, goodwill: black pants, polka dot shoes, short sleeved blue sweater
Tuesday, savers: two vintage (military?) coats – green & cream; blue jacket; jean jacket
all for a grand total of $60!
more than i'd normally spend in such a short amount of time, and on so few pieces, and way too much for our budget right now, but these were things i could not resist. especially the vintage coats! aren’t they amazing?? three-quarter length sleeves, wool (i think… i didn’t think the green one was until i washed and dried it today. 60+ years of being well taken care of, and i have it for less than a day and shrink it! hence the orange lining showing below the hem…).
the checker at savers was like “wow! do you think these are real??” um, yes… real, what? “ military! you can tell by the lining!” ok, if you say so… so do i look like a world war II officer? maybe someone with a better eye/more experience can tell me what decade they’re from? i just know it’s somewhere in the 30s-60s based on the union tag inside.
on another note, does anyone agree with me that a) i have the cutest kid in the world, and b) i need to cut his hair…?
