All @ Value Village.
I never thought I'd ever spend this much on a regular price day at Value Village. I'm really kicking myself for not checking the blazer section yesterday, I'm sure these were all there!
I could have saved myself $10! Full price for these really isn't a deal at all, but I loved the designs so much I bought them anyway.
First picture was a no brainer. The first one too my breath away! I've never seen anything like that before..it's like a bustier built into a blazer. You can see the details better in this picture:
It being made in Paris helped some. I reasoned that it probably retailed for an insanely high price, so that made it easier to swallow. I couldn't find prices of their blazers, but some of their dresses retailed for nearly $2,000!
The other black one seemed Egyptian inspired. I loved it! I thought it was bold and stylish. I might take it in a little to make it more fitted.
I actually really loved the beige one, i thought it was so flattering and it actually seemed current. The only thing was, it wasn't in great condition..there was some pilling, and the material wasn't that great.
I really liked how it looked on me, so I bought it anyway:
The only one I'm undecided on is the navy blazer. The buttons are great, and it looks like new...the fit isn't that flattering though. It's like the above, except not fitted. I don't know if it was worth $8, I might return it.
