Before I left for the first day of my new job, I thought I would poke around at our local thrift store. I wanted to find either a spring jacket or over-sized sweater.

And then....TA DA!

I stumbled across a Black Label Ralph Lauren deep blue sweater coat in perfect condition for only $7.00. It was larger than what I usually buy-but I knew I would have to be moving around a lot and picking up stuff, etc. when at auction so I bought it, took it home washed and dried it, and it is BEAUTIFUL!

Don't you just LOVE finding a treasure when you are not even looking for one??

Way to go, usually when I am looking for something I never find it! I only find it when I am not looking.

good for you-i have a some gals that do alot of thrift shopping and then when we compare what we got and how much we payed we try to see who got the better deal-we call it reverse snobbery!!
