"Coaching"

Everyone loves a good deal!  Consignment shops are one of the places that I find fabulous deals.  You never know what gem you are going to find!  If you can keep an open mind and have some patience to browse through racks, then you can acquire some unique pieces of clothing! Can you guess which item was thrifted?

top :: vintage Escada (thrifted)
skirt :: Gap (old)
necklace :: Premier
shoes :: Enzo Angiolini (mom)
bag :: Coach (outlet)

The top was part of a two piece set.  For $18, I got a silk blouse and wool pants from Escada (the Margaretha Ley era).  You would think it’s a mistake, but it’s the same resale shop that I got Mr. S’s Coach briefcase for $30, my yellow Escada jacket for $18, and Hudson jeans for $6!  I have three consignment shops in the area that I like to check out when I have time.  {They are listed in my FW Faves tabs.}

I love the stagecoaches and soldiers on horseback!  The blouse has billowy sleeves – Don’t get me started on that!  I would probably look like a pirate with poofy sleeves everyday if I could!  And there is even a stagecoach on the button! 
I paired it with a neutral bag and shoes since the blouse and skirt are so bold!  I thought it was fitting to wear my Coach bag with the stagecoaches!  I’m “coaching” it today!
I know that not everyone is comfortable with shopping at resale/consignment shops.  If you ask around for nicer ones, it may be easier to start that way.  (Really, I will go anywhere!  I’ve found a copper pitcher at Goodwill for $5!)

Happy Friday!!
