I went thrifting on Friday, and I found this gorgeous vintage wool cape at Goodwill for five dollars! It is in perfect condition. The lining is silky perfection, and the buttons are tortoiseshell-esque. I hate winter, but I want it back just for a day, so I can wear this cape with boots and a jaunty beret wile I go skipping through a snowy meadow.
Although the cape made me giddy, Salvation Army was the source of the bulk of my haul. Fridays are half-off if you're wearing a red shirt (in the fall/winter, they do some sort of KC Chiefs thing. I have no idea why the red shirt for the rest of the year, but a bargain's a bargain, so I red-shirted it up!). I got 3 cardigans, 4 patterned skirts, and a pair of American Eagle flip-flops, each for $1.00 or less. I am trying to branch out with the whole retro/vintagey patterned skirt thing. We'll see how it goes. I'm afraid of looking like a grandma. Any recommendations on pairings for any of my loot?
