THURSDAY'S THRIFT....Valentino and Dooney

Hi darlings, feeling a little better today.  This ailment seems to come and go.  I feel like I have more strength today just like I did the day I helped my husband clean the shed.  Very strange feeling but I am thankful that today I am not in as much pain because it is Thursday's thrift where I like to showcase my savings.  I am not interested so much as to what you've spent on an item as much as I am interested in what you have saved on an item.  This quote was inspired by my friend and follower of this blog Jenni (aka cupcake).  She loves to bake and she is good at it.  You can see her here when I featured her on another blog stint called "Star of my blog".  For some reason all of the photos will not show up once you click to see her huge closet but there are enough to get a good look at her wardrobe.   Anyway, today I bring you a Valentino super luxurious vest for Fall.  I paid...(don't hate me and you better sit down for this one)  $1.99 at the Village thrift a while back.  I paired it with the no name vintage scarf that I had to have for the same price.  This is why I love thrifting, I paid the same price for a no name vintage leaf print scarf as I did for a Valentino sweater vest made from as stated on the label...virgin wool...ooooh baby!!



I had to double check for an inside tag for authenticity and here it is....

Can't wait to wear this special item...any suggestions on how to pair it or wear it are welcome darlings...

Next up are my newly thrifted Dooney and Burke boat shoes that I spent $5.99 on at the Goodwill, my local haunt.  They are a perfect fit and I found another pair exactly like them on ebay (used) with a starting bid of $45.00.    I looked on their website and new boat shoes are $145.00.  These are in perfect condition for 2nd hand.

I cleaned them with Lysol and Myers vegetable counter top spray in lavender scent....they only needed a small amount of scrubbing...

Although this photo is not so great, I found these vintage sunglasses for .99cents, case included at the Goodwill.  Someone put the sticker price right on the lens so I had a heck of time trying to get the sticky stuff off.  They remind me of  glasses from the 50's with their retro style frame and they are marked "Mustang".  Cool....

I hope you've enjoyed my thrift finds...I hope this inspires the thrifter in you...  lots of love, Dawn xo  New followers welcome...so glad to meet you.  If I am not following you back...leave me a message and I will visit you...!!
