The jacket came back even cheaper, so I decided to get one for my mom!  It's warm, stylish, and practical, so it was a great deal.

They had some other ones too, but they didn't go as low as this one.  Too bad, I would have liked to get them!

I was really happy about the pants though.  They were cheap, and they fit great!  I barely have any that do so I definitely needed more.

I was really excited about the coat.  It looked so nice in the picture!  But when I saw it in person, I was pretty disappointed...it looks pretty ordinary.  Not worth their retail price at all!

It is warm, but the material's kind of formless.  It's not figure flattering at all, and the plaid material looks cheap.  Looks about the same quality as any of the cheaper stores, but of course they charge way less for theirs (half price or more!).

Other than that, the colour was completely off!  It looked brown in the picture, but when I saw it, I thought they mistakenly sent me the black...all of the puffy places look completely black!  Only the plaid looks somewhat brown.

For the price I paid, I guess it's ok...I was just expecting something much nicer.

Hettemarks of Sweden - Red wool coat:  $11.25
Eelskin purse:  $4.50

I had another coupon, so I hit up another store.  I'm always on the lookout for great quality coats, and this one fits the bill!  The tailoring is impeccable.

I'm sure it's from the 60's, and it still looks new today!  The style is timeless.  I'm sure I could wear this forever, assuming it fits me for that length of time.

Two people complimented me when I was trying it on!  The only problem is, it sort of has a chest compressing effect when I'm wearing it.  But the silhouette is really gorgeous otherwise, and you can tell it's quality right away.

The company's actually still around!  They even have a website, but stupidly, they don't have any prices listed.  Which usually means they're expensive.  I looked around, and found some newer ones listed at around $500!  They've been around since 1944...that's longevity! 

As for the purse, I actually bought it for the skin.  That's over my price limit for purses I just want to cut up, but this one's a lot bigger than the ones I normally find.

I ended up just cutting up the one I already have.  I think I'll just use this purse instead...it's a lot roomier than the other eelskin purses I normally find, and the design is better too.

I almost didn't go, but I'm glad I did.  I almost always find great stuff, and this was no exception!

I was pretty annoyed at the prices though.  This is one of the worst ones I've seen!  They had a lot of USED dresses for $20...which is crazy.  At least the other ones reserve those prices for NWT stuff!  

Which makes me really surprised that the Joe Fresh dress was so cheap.  It was extra small, so I didn't think it would fit...but thankfully, I tried it on and it did!  It wasn't even too tight, it was like magic.  

The 6 Shore road dress is missing 3 buttons, which means I'll have to replace all of them.  But the style is so gorgeous I thought it was worth the effort.

I wasn't sure about the last one, but since I'm a sucker for halters it had to come with me.

The coats...I'm sure the bebe one was new, because there were three of them, and all of the labels were cut off!  They all had slight staining to the sleeves, so I think they were probably donated by the company.

They were all marked a large, and they certainly looked the same size...but two of them were actually extra small!!  Thankfully, one was a medium, and that one fit.  But really, looking at the rack they all looked the same size!

Bebe stuff is normally super pricy even used, so I kind of thought the prices were sort of up there.  I do think they have a lot of interesting styles.

I was surprised to learn that the jacket only retailed for $129!  I guess they price things so high secondhand because there's a demand for it.

I was happy about the black coat, since I've been looking for a long, warm, fitted one for a long time.  The outside looks new, but there are a lot of tears in the lining that I'll have to repair.  Considering how great it looks on, I thought it was worth the effort!

Escada - Lace accent pant suit:  $10.50 (RSP:  $2000+)

Nanette Lepore - "Monsoon" Taffeta coat:  $10.50 (RSP:  $430)

Both @ Value Village

It's funny - I find Escada almost all of the time!  Most of the time it's in really bad condition or has huge shoulder pads.  I actually don't find their suits all that great, so I'm surprised people pay so much for them.

This suit was nice though.  It would have been boring without the lace accents, but with them, it was too pretty to pass up.

I wasn't that crazy about the coat, but I wanted something from that designer.  Plus, I had already decided on the suit, and I couldn't get a discount unless I spent over $30!

The coat looks way better belted.  I didn't like it that much at first, but it's growing on me.  I suppose it's only good for days that are wet and warm, since it's so light it doesn't contribute much.

 

Foxy outerwear - $8 @ Winners (RSP:  $108)

I was really surprised to find this.  It was at the deadest winners out of all of the ones I went to today..they seriously only had about ten items on the rack and a few things on a table.  

Someone must have brought it out later on, since I saw it just thrown over the rack before I was about to leave.  

It was a large, but surprisingly, it didn't run too big.  I would have preferred a tighter fit, but it's comfortable and not too oversized.  A warm, great looking coat.
