Here I paired them with my go to shirt, the button up. And I really like the way they pair with this green fatigue jacket.
Probably the best thrift of the outfit are these Sebago docksiders. I've been patiently looking and waiting for a pair of "boat" or "deck" shoes for the past year or more and I finally found a pair that were the quality I wanted and are like new and my size!

Much gratitude and thanks to you all for your love, comments, prayers and continued support.
Wonderful thrift finds! I had to laugh, as I just tried on my blush jeans and a top for future use and am still wearing them, mine are straight, not skinny's like yours. Love the shoes, I had Sebago boat shoes in my 20's and loved them.
ReplyDeleteThese may very well be left over from the 1980's, I remember loving them then in my preppy days...wait, I think I still may be in my preppy days:)
DeleteYou amaze me with your awesome thrift finds. I have found a few treasures thrifting but never as great as what you find. Love to know what day of the week and time of day you shop. Love your blush jeans and sebagos.
ReplyDeleteYou remain in my daily prayers.
I think location is the key to my thrift success...I live in a college town and teach at a university in another nearby town, so I get items from people that come from all over the country and world. My two main thrift stores are church operated and are very reasonable (my favorite has $1-$2 prices on most everything) and the other one does consignment, too. At the end of the spring semester they hold a huge two day sale where I recently scored some of these items. My limitation at that sale is many items are too young for a "women of a certain age" and I have to be pretty selective. But, they do get a lot of donations from an older clientele and that's when I get some really great quality items. I also frequent one Salvation Army store in another smaller town where I only go on Wednesday or 1/2 price day. I've had some good luck there, too, but mostly for my 5 yr old daughter. It's really in the frequency and just hitting it right and being selective...if you come north to CNY for a visit I'll take you to my haunts.
DeleteThose shoes look totally new and perfect! Score!
ReplyDeleteAnd the best part, they are made in the U.S.A. I'm not sure if they are a unworn 1980's pair from someone's closet or if they are more recent but for $5.00 I know I got real quality and a pair of shoes I will wear a lot.
