We have an American Thrift Store here. (Used to be Alabama thrift) I have found name brand jackets...that are perfect...like new...I think people buy them, and the color is not right or something. The last one I found was a fully lined New York and Co. and honestly looked like it had never been tried on...it is beautiful shade of royal blue with tiny black piping around necklne and down the front.I will wear it with a black skirt or black pants for really dress up. I usually get solid color jackets and have a skirt to match because I have several of the lined, printed long skirts.I like shells, (or tanks) and jackets.Now things in the Thrift Store are marked 4.88 or 6.88 and even tee shirts are 2.98. I would only buy if it is really good label and in good shape. I like cotton shirts and sweaters. and I hand wash them, and roll in towel...they last forever.I hav gotten lots of compliments on my clothes...I jus say Thanks...and never say they come from Thrift store...I was wearing dress clothes at least five times a week...until my back has gotten so bad. I don't get to go out as much. Stella
