I'm having a thing with fur this season. Fake, of course. I've never owned fur accented clothing before...but I own a few pieces now! I fell in LOVE with this red DKNY jacket at the consignment shop. I didn't go in with the intention to buy, only to pick up my check. It turns out that I had a check AND an in-store credit. The credit amount was $23.69......which was funny because the jacket in my hand was exactly $23.00
I tried it on and fell in love. The fur is so soft. Its DKNY...a very good company, and it was calling my name. So I used the store credit of course.
I feel so plush in this....the body is soft, smooth suede.
I was feeling a little retro in this black and white polka dot tulip skirt. If photographed a little funny, but if you click on the pics you can get a better look at it.
Every thing but the shoe, tights and necklace is thrifted. It has some swirl action going on.
Necklace; Lia Sophia
Anne Klein booties. They don't look cute at all in this photo; in fact they look a little ortho...but I promise, they are much cuter in person.
Lia Sophia.....I got my starter kit; which has several really great pieces. My kick off party is Saturday. I'll be sure to take pictures. I hope its well attended and that I meet sales goals...I want to earn the free jewelry to build my stock for shows.
This necklace has a bit of a retro feel that really complimented the skirt.
Loved wearing this outfit today.
Tomorrow...I'm voting.
I'm looking forward to asserting my vote!
I HOPE YOU ARE VOTING TOMORROW.
That jacket has a little magic about it. What a buy.
ReplyDeleteThank you...I felt so lucky when I found it...I adore it.
DeleteGorgeous ... love the jacket and last year was the first time I bought anything with fur. Love your pendant too.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes off well with the voting. I've watched a little of the debates and we're hearing that Obama has a narrow lead.
Hope you're warm and safe.
Thank you Wendy....I do love this jacket.
DeleteWow, $23 for a furry DKNY coat is a pretty good deal, I love the quality of their clothes and they make the best fitting jeans. That coat is just too lovely, it looks so soft and I am loving the fun color, it's really different and stands out.
ReplyDeleteYes, voting tomorrow! (Even though the President is almost always announced before our polls even close, but it's the thought that counts.) It's going to be a pretty big day.
I'm excited and nervous for tomorrow....I just want to know who our man is.
DeleteI though it was a really good deal..I do love the fun color and the fur is the softest.
What a fabulous jacket! The color is gorgeous on you. That tulip skirt is so flattering on you as well. Very nice look!
ReplyDeleteThank you Heather. I really love it.
DeleteI love that skirt! Speaking of fur, real fur.......about 2 weeks ago I passed up a genuine fur coat in EXCELLENT condition at the thrift store. It looked like it had never been worn. I tried it on and it was too tight. I probably could have gotten it for less than $20. Instead I took it to the ladies at the check out and told them what a nice jacket it was and not to 'give it away'. Turns out that one of then purchased it for $20, then sent it to someone else who sold it for MUCH more in her shop (in another state). The 2 women are splitting the profit and the gal who purchased it will take her $20 and give the rest to the thrift store. Isn't that nice?
ReplyDeleteThats quite a story, Linda
DeleteLovely red faux fur! I don't have an issue with vintage fur or accessories (I wear leather, so that would be rather hypocritical!), but not new.
ReplyDeleteI get it....because what already exisits...needs to be used before buying new...and all the things that go with that.
DeleteFaux fur is fun. And alliterative. This looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteHahaa....say it fast ten times.....
DeleteThank you for the compliment.
Fabulous! I bet it feels like it's almost free:) Also I really love your polka dot skirt. I love polka dots:))
ReplyDeleteIt did....but that didn't work with my husband!
DeleteLisa if your store credit was just over 23.00 USD and this jacket cost 23.00 USD - well this jacket was what the Thrift Shopping Fairy had in hand for you :)
ReplyDeleteI think you are right, Lorena!
DeleteVery cute jacket. I love red jackets for outerwear.
ReplyDeleteI have never considered a red jacket before...but this one just jumped out at me..and I love it.
DeleteOh lovely! I adore those booties too. I have one real inherited fur coat; older than I am! but I never wear it. I'm nervous of the reactions it might get :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Carolyn! Ah....something you didn't make...LOL!
DeleteMy heart jumped in my mouth when I saw that jacket! It is so lovely! The colour is so beautiful! Oh you must wear that at every opportunity you get! What a find!
ReplyDeleteLove the polka dot skirt too x
Thank you....I am wearing it like crazy. I just adore it. Thank you....
Deletethat coat is so much fun! and those booties are cute

It is fun to wear! I was so excited to get it...out of my comfort zone, but that's probably a good thing.
DeleteThat looks like a very cosy fur! I wore a red and blue outfit yesterday, that I a.s.a.p. will post on the blog, in honor of your election day yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your patriotic outfit. I wonder how things were yesterday where you were. Lots of energy for sure!
Deletefun coat!
