But I love the label!<br /><br />@Sarah--For some reason, there's tons of Talbots at my Goodwill, so if you want more, come visit! Jacket sounds great.<br /><br />@FB--You have to go at least a couple of times to activate the karma. And you must EXPECT NOTHING.<br /><br /><br />@Northmoon--I see soooooo many petites at my thrifts. Frustrating, because I am 5'6". You too should come visit.Frugal Scholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696815672500452503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-66677312146779153222009-11-10T08:32:41.219-06:002009-11-10T08:32:41.219-06:00I wouldn't worry about being a 'label whor...I wouldn't worry about being a 'label whore'. To me it's a quick way to tell that I'm getting quality construction and a 'real' fabric.<br /><br />I'm in a big city so it's not completely unusual to find a designer item. The thrift stores are catching on though, and ususally price these items higher.<br /><br />My mother found a pair of black Talbots pants in a thrift in Winnipeg, almost brand new. The unusual part was they fit perfectly, even to the pant length. Both my mother and I are under 5'2" tall, so not having to hem the pants is a big deal!Northmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597456926736581361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-20630210450256928112009-11-09T15:05:17.726-06:002009-11-09T15:05:17.726-06:00!!!!

I have worn it twice a week for the last 3 years and the lining is all torn up but the jacket is still perfect.<br />It wasn't really unlikely, though because that Goodwill is the best I have every been to.SarahAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276261008019721929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-6002647310172194682009-11-09T08:25:51.676-06:002009-11-09T08:25:51.676-06:00Ma----donna!

Come on, if you are a whore you have to give us 'a little somethin'-somethin'.<br /><br />Maybe the story is: the Carlisle wearing mum was cleaning closets, and her Dries wearing duaghter (home on a visit) said, "this doesn;t fit me anymore" and threw it into the bag.<br /><br />My biggest thrift score was an immaculate cashmere cardi (small, so Mom got it) for $2 in Naples FL.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.com
