I gotta tell you I was pretty darn excited when I found this long 80s sweater mixed in with the dresses while I was thrift shopping. I had been scouring the internet for another oversized sweater to add to my wardrobe and (of course) I had no luck. This sweater had amazingly huge shoulder pads that I cut out, because I'm not THAT in love with the 80s....been there, done that. And I have to point out the wonderful cuffs and sleeves.
It also has pockets!
The older I get and the more curated my closet becomes, the more I realize I prefer second hand shopping. I don't know if it's the thrill of the hunt, or the unique pieces I find, but I just really enjoy a thrift shop/vintage shop more than most other retail. Grant it, shop small and shop local!
I have picked up a few things via eBay this month, some barkcloth items to add to my Tiki wardrobe and a velvet coat which I am looking forward to pairing with my lace dresses.
In other news, this was the scene Friday morning. Derek is using an axe he found in our shed to hack at the ice. I told him he's been listening to too much Viking Metal. Haha!!!
I decided to tell Spring that it's okay to come soon, the plastic pink flamingos are sick of being hidden away. Our neighbors must think we're insane, but hopefully I at least gave them a little chuckle.
Time to get ready to go pick up a 60s chromcraft dining set that I've been dreaming about. It needs some TLC, but for the great price, we're up for the challenge!
Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteThat's one 1980s-tastic cardi, you look ace! That snow isn't so good though! xxx
ReplyDeleteWith this sweater, you're that much closer to my dream of finding socially acceptable pajamaclothes (in the best way possible, I mean that as a compliment.) Also, I used to live in Buffalo and love the flamingos pic.
ReplyDeleteOh that sweater is great! You are definitely one of those people who can pull off a baggy sweater with class!
ReplyDeleteViking metal ice destruction! Ha ha.
Love your flamingos in the snow! I hope it warms up for you soon though!
