Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
I was born in 1961, so it seems strange to use the term “throwback” when referring to the 1980’s, but it is. Today’s outfit is totally thrifted from GW Boutique (Goodwill) but from two different decades. The blue and white Houndstooth blazer was thrifted in 1989, which you can probably tell by the Dynasty/Falcon Crest shoulder pads. Remember when they introduced Dianne Carroll as Dominique Deveraux; or the pool fight scene or the first time the “B” word was used, or when they went crazy after Rock Hudson revealed he had AIDS? Man oh Manischewitz, that was definitely some “must see TV!”
The skirt and shoes were just thrifted last year however, the styles make them look a little dated as well. The white shell earrings were purchased at Rehoboth Beach also in the ’80’s and match the buttons on the blazer.
Romantic Soles Blue Pumps – GW Boutique // Blue side slit skirt – GW Boutique // Blue and White Houndstooth Blazer – GW Boutique // Ring – Avon // Earrings – Rehoboth Beach shop // Bracelets – Burlington Coat Factory // Tote – Target // Scarf – old
Linking up today with Katherine’s Corner , Almost Friday Thursday & Papa is a Preacher – hop over and meet some new bloggers.
Have a fantabulous afternoon – Smooches!

Goodwill Fall Haul
Posted on: August 27, 2012
Saturday was an overcast and cloudy day which put me in the mood to do a little thrifting. With a dollar limit in mind and a $10 gift card I headed south to Goodwill in Smyrna. Upon entering the store I grabbed a cart which was taken by an associate because it remained empty and idle for too long. I was looking around in search of Cowboy boots and I hate pushing the cart in and out of the aisles during my search. I didn’t find the boots but found a few other items along with another empty cart on the other side of the store.
Aqua Maxi Dress – $5.00 // Bold Spirit Reversible, Suede Jacket – $7.00//St. Johns Bay Green Denim Skirt – $3.75
Style co Polka Dot Top – $3.75// Mootsies Tootsies Faux Leather/Croc Loafers – $5.00
Atrium Collection Blue and White Houndstooth Jacket with Bow – $6.00
As I headed back north to Middletown, I stopped at a small yard sale on Route 13 and purchased a belt and small makeup bag spending $2.00, the ladies were grateful since they hadn’t had a sale all day. Goodwill in Middletown is undergoing renovations, “to make it a more pleasant shopping experience” which is what the sales associate said – lol. Once again, the hunt for Cowboy boots was futile however, I did find a few nice skirts for the fall and winter season.
Multi Color, long sleeve top – $3.75// GAP Tweed Skirt – $3.75// Le Suit Black and White Houndstooth Skirt – $3.75
Chaus Green Skirt – $3.75// Mossimo Bronze Peep Toe Shoes – $4.00
Small stain in the tweed skirt came out in the wash and I will be removing the bows on the jacket because it cuts tight across the chest.
