It must be the height of thrift shop season because I have found some OMG items that are keepers. This boho chic look is topped off with a San Diego Hat Co. wide-brimmed hat (retail), a Nancy K New York flare sleeve shirt and a blue velveteen Impressions maxi skirt.
I splurged on these retail discounted L'Artiste slip-on sandals.
The balance of my thrift shop finds were the lavendar NWT top, a Diane Von Furstenberg Silk Assets coat length jacket, a Hilo Hattie dress and a Coldwater Creek long sleeved shirt. After I have the coat dry cleaned, it will be featured with another thrift shop find of a Jones New York skirt. They are two pieces that you think wouldn't go together, but they do.
