 OH, I forgot my favorite find from yesterday.  Where else?  Goodwill for $5.95.

It's an Eileen Fisher zip front cardigan in a snuggly black and white blend.  It's made from Italian yarn.  The zipper is dual and can be zipped from the top or bottom which is a great look for me because it can be loose at the bottom.  I love how soft it is.

When I go to Goodwill, if I come out with one high quality piece, I feel great about the shopping trip.

Wow - that IS a great find!  I've seen Eileen Fisher in Macy's... I "stole" a pair of white pants at the end of the season this year - Got them for $20 and their ticket price was over $100....

I almost went to Goodwill today - maybe I should have!

I tried taking pictures of my various black dresses and they didn't turn out well - too small and not enough detail to really see...  See?

Jody, I love the off the shoulder dress!!  It looks great on you.

I only bought me 2 things this week.  I'm suppose to do a 5K with my niece next weekend so I got an outfit to walk/run in. 

I'm trying to do Christmas shopping for everyone else and not even look at clothes for me until I finish with my kids and granddaughters!!

 Jody, you look adorable in anything you put on.  I can't see enough detail on the small pics but I do see that the off the shoulder one is fitted and delightful.

I love Eileen Fisher as well.  I have several great pieces that I've scored in the last month.

No wonder you want an excuse to wear them!  

Of course, if it were I, I'd just wear them to work.  ;)  Maybe with a cardigan to make it more conservative.  

You look adorable.  My fav is the off-the-shoulder.

Very hard to see them, but my favorite was a cotton one - I'm not sure I posted that pic.  It had a little design across the tummy.  And was form fitting and a little shorter than the others.

The off the shoulder one has a shelf bra in it, which is nice, but I'd still probably wear a strapless.. at least until my girls get fixed!! LOL

Wish I could wear them to work but I'd freeze my behind off - and no one wears dresses...

I just put them on without the hose or any kind of "control" underneath...  at least I put shoes on that would work! 

Now - My BF's daughter is graduating from college a week from Saturday, and I wanted to see if I could make one of these work.  Again, he said he's wearing jeans... and the more "casual" of the 2 parties is that night... I'd like to figure out how to make it work for both.

I have a new pair of hi waist denim leggings from Levi's in a size 27.  (I'm not exactly sure what that translates to in US sizes.)

I tried on a pair of skinny jeans there, too, in a size 28.  They fit well, but I didn't buy them because they fit so well right then, and I worried that they wouldn't last for long enough to justify the cost.  Plus, I really don't like wearing such low-rise pants.  They don't work well for me when I sit down - I hate having to get up and pull them up all unlady-like & such.  ;)

Hi Girlies!
I LOVE checking out all of your new looks and dreaming!! I have amassed a huge new wardrobe of clothes while waiting for my surgery...it's scary in a good way LOL

I have about 150 pieces from my fav high end thrift store (if thrift stores could be considered high end) This week I scored a Michael Kors charcoal cowl neck top..the fabric feels like butter! And get this...off the $1 rack!! It's a Medium so it will be on my body next Fall for sure!!

I tend to spend the big bucks on boots and jeans ( and bags of course). Pick up the trendy at Kohls or online.

I have a 14x7 foot closet but I still need to start clearing out my big clothes and make room for the new. My goal is to get some things listed on ebay. Plus sized clothes sell at a very good price!

That's what I should have done - ebay - I gave all my clothes away.  I'm too lazy to do it though.

Congrats on the scores!  I can't turn down a great bargain either - and I'm out of hangers!  LOL
