Sequined jacket

I've been trying to be good and not shop, however a recent trip to the thrift store had me opening my wallet for this gorgeous beaded jacket. I know it's not a piece that I will wear all the time, but it seemed so perfect for Christmas eve, and I could not resist it, even at it's $35 price tag. (Which only seems like a lot for the thrift store; in any other store $35 would be a bargain, no?)

The other two items I bought totaled less than $5 together, one is a plaid dress that needs some alterations - hopefully you will see it soon!

  4. Agreed!!!! I love when I find pieces like that in the thrift store. I got a leather mini and it was marked at $25, I think, and it took me some convincing, but with the real leather, Wilson Leather tag and studding, I couldn't resist. And this jacket is so festive too! Hope you had a great Christmas!

  10. What a beautiful jacket! Not an everyday piece, to be sure, but that beading...! I think thrift store pricing is relative - what me rationalise this purchase beyond reason ;) A large majority of my thrift store purchases are things I simply couldn't get anywhere else for a similar price, even if their price still seems high - a Chanel dress for $300? Yep, that's a lot in a thrift store but considering the retail price of around $3000, it seemed like a great deal to me. And really, anything that has had as much work go into it as this jacket with all of its delicate detail is a steal at $35! What an amazing find. I hope you had the most wonderful Christmas.

  30. That new jacket is to die for, worth every single penny plus less than 40 bucks for 3 items sounds amazing. I love how it looks like it has lots of pennies embellished on it. Great way to style it for Christmas. Happy Belated Christmas by the way and Happy New Year!
