Parasuco - Santana denim biker jacket:  $9.90 @ Value Village  (RSP:  $175, according to this!)

This jacket is insane!!  It's probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever found.  I didn't even know there was such a thing as a denim motorcycle jacket, and this one's probably the flashiest in existence.

Just look at these metal shoulder plates!

Gorgeous!  Reminds me of Versace over-the-topness.  Just look at the back...the collar is lined in faux leopard fur, and there's yet another metal plate:

Admittedly, the last plate is overkill.  I might even take it off.

Plus, the shoulders are horrible...the shoulder pads are definitely coming out, then I'll have to tailor the arms and shoulders smaller.

That's the 90's for ya!  This similarly styled one is from 1993, so this one was probably produced around the same time.

Shockingly, they wanted $18 for this thing!  I would never pay that, but since I had a 30% off pass....even then, it was kind of a ripoff!

The back plate was falling off so I asked if they could go down any further.  The guy gave me $5 off, plus I still got 30% off!  I was pretty happy about that.  $10 is more along the lines of what I wanted to pay.

Joe Fresh - babydoll trench coat:  $4.90 (RSP:  $59+)

Urban Behaviour - leather collection - biker jacket:  $10.50

Both @ Value Village.

I'm pretty happy with both of these!  Ever since I found the pink one, I've been hoping to find more Urban Behaviour leathers - the fit and style are just awesome!

I'm surprised this wasn't overpriced...it was the cheapest jacket on the wrack, and by far the best looking one!

Another surprise was the Joe Fresh trench.  I never thought to look there because the styles weren't that impressive and I assumed the quality was just average...as for pricing, I can get better stuff at Winners.

Anyhow, I thought it was vintage upon first feel!  The style certainly looks that way.  It's 100% cotton and surprisingly good quality.

It's from their 2008 Spring collection - I found a picture of a model sporting it:

I also came across one of their dresses...which was great quality as well.  I'm going to have to start paying attention the next time I go grocery shopping!

Christian Dior - red lapel wool blazer:  $5.60
Tristan & Iseut - Flared brown skirt:  $3.50

Both @ Value Village.

I don't normally buy things just based on labels, especially if I plan on reselling them.  A lot of them just have crap resale values.

Surprisingly, this applies to Dior!  I've seen a ton of auctions that ended around $5, which really isn't worth my time.

I picked up the above because I liked the red lapels and it was great quality.  It's too big for me though, I'm going to have to take it in.

Skirts were half off today, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to look.  The skirt's like new and I love how it flares out in such a flirty way.

There were some other skirts that I really liked but they were just way overpriced for used merchandise.

Ro-El  - leather box purse:  $4.80 

Stylecraft - fur/leather clutch/wallet:  $2.10

Both @ Value Village.

Their 30% off pass was expiring soon so I just had to go.  Well, not like I ever need a reason to go...I've been itching to go this last little while!

I love classically designed purses, but I wasn't sure if the one above was leather.  There weren't any tags saying so, but I lifted up the back of the straps and it seemed so...and it felt like it was...but there are some good fakes!  Hopefully this isn't one of them.

I don't have many vintage purses of this colour since they tend to be really nasty.  This one was in great condition so I picked it up.  Plus, I really do think it's leather, and I love cream/gold combos!

I wasn't sure about the other one.  It was real leather, but I thought the fur was fake at first!  Until I saw it was still attached to the skin.  I have no idea what kind of fur it is, it's not very soft.

I ended up buying it because it can actually function as a clutch..it has a lot of roomy compartments inside.

Black lace dress:  $6.06 off eBay

As was the case for the white one...I've been trying to win this dress for over a year. 

I remember bidding twice as much and still losing back then...I'm glad I was finally able to get one for a reasonable price.

Black lace halter dress:  $6.06 off eBay

The design is pretty, but it looks way cheaper in person...worst of all, the halter part is too short! 

It's bizarre.  I didn't expect that...I can't even pull the ties up to my neck! 

Red cocktail dress:  $3.36 off eBay

This was an impulse dress that I probably shouldn't have bought. 

It's pretty basic and I have dresses that are somewhat similar...but it was just so cheap!  I really didn't think I would win.
