Whenever the fall looks hit the fashion scene, I begin to lament over my serious lack of funds. However, if I take my seasonal wish list with me into GOODWILL, I can usually come close to fulfilling my desires. For example, the skirt pictured below from Talbots’ new line has been on my wish list ever since I laid eyes on it. I went on a recent Goodwill shopping spree with the skirt swimming in my head and found a practically new Lane Bryant version…which I believe was from Fall 2011.

You are a wonderful ambassador for Goodwill - with your shopping and photography skills! This outfit is very Fall-ready and you look terrific. Thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteOh, Pam! I love this outfit. The vibrant blue is striking with the black and white! -Marci
ReplyDeleteYou look spectacular in that color!!! The whole outfit is gorgeous, and of course, you shopped my favorite store. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteOMG! All those shoes are in Goodwill? I would transfer residency to where this place is located hahahahaha. I so love the first shoes and yes the blouse and skirt are so fabulous. I am a bit close to Goodwill here and most of there display are from Target which is nice too. By the way did you buy the shoes especially the first one ^_^
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit!

Hi Kim, None of these shoes were in my size...but gone are the days for me to wear heels like that. Sigh...I remember those days and miss them!!
DeletePam! Those MUSTARD YELLOW booties, I MUST HAVE THEM!! Just when I said NO MORE SHOPPING FOR A MONTH! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe blue blouse is so just gorgeous with the skirt. In recent months, I thrift for myself with a very short list, as I have most everything I need. I'm looking for a green cardigan...that is eluding me!
ReplyDeleteAh, love that shade of blue! So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou know how to pull it all together, Pam. Great job of substituting and saving the dollars.
ReplyDeleteYou look so great in bright blue...Loving you in that color! xo
ReplyDeleteLovley outfit, and I am so jealous. All our Goodwill (and similar stores have) is worn out children's clothes, polyster outfits and run down shoes. Nothing at all that I could use.
ReplyDeleteWow - what great shopping to be had at Goodwill! Great skirt - I love houndstooth and I love that tone of electric blue in your shirt.
ReplyDeleteThat blue blouse immediately caught my eye. Your version looks every bit as good as the Talbots inspiration.
ReplyDeleteDid you end up buying that orange western looking jacket. I just love that!
The orange jacket was not in my size, or I think it would have come home with me. It was brand new!!
DeleteBrilliant skirt, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This skirt is beautiful and the blue shirt makes a perfect outfit.
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is stunning!! The cobalt blue really makes your eyes pop!!
ReplyDeleteI've been wittling down my Goodwill wish list!! Now If I can find some glen plaid trousera nand black pinstripe trousers!!
Wish we had a Goodwill in our area. But I did score a lovely sterling silver cuff at a local consignment shop. Had been looking for one to wear in Ireland.
ReplyDeletewhat a great find that skirt was
ReplyDeletelove how you styled it

well done!

Glad to see you're embracing pattern. So on trend for Fall and definitely not necessary to spend a fortunate.
ReplyDeleteIt's so true!! Thrifting is such a great way to find novel takes on the things you want! I'm soooooooo ready for fall! You look stunning girly! Hugs! Serene
ReplyDeletePretty in blue, Pam!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised at the items they have at the Goodwill! I love that green skirt!
I wish we had the fab mdse in Goodwill here that you do there. I went just yesterday and I did not find a single piece in my size. I did find some smaller size items that were good buys, but anything plus size is worn out and not that great to start with. The shoes are really, really awful.
ReplyDeleteNevertheless, I am thrilled that you are able to find such wonderful items!I love the combo of cobalt blue with black and white.
It looks like I would be saving so much money, that it almost makes sense going to the US just to shop at Goodwill!
ReplyDeleteYour skirt is great - and just what I've been looking for, for two years now! I need a pencil skirt in this pattern, but I can't find it in my size. Glad that you succeeded! It's lovely with the blue top!
Um what size is that green and white skirt? LOVE :)
