Sequined jacket

I've been trying to be good and not shop, however a recent trip to the thrift store had me opening my wallet for this gorgeous beaded jacket. I know it's not a piece that I will wear all the time, but it seemed so perfect for Christmas eve, and I could not resist it, even at it's $35 price tag. (Which only seems like a lot for the thrift store; in any other store $35 would be a bargain, no?)

The other two items I bought totaled less than $5 together, one is a plaid dress that needs some alterations - hopefully you will see it soon!

    Agreed!!!! I love when I find pieces like that in the thrift store. I got a leather mini and it was marked at $25, I think, and it took me some convincing, but with the real leather, Wilson Leather tag and studding, I couldn't resist. And this jacket is so festive too! Hope you had a great Christmas!

    The sequin blazer is so perfect for the holidays! I think it was a great deal for $35!

    What a great thrift store find! Can't blame you for giving in to sequins at less than $40!

    What a beautiful jacket! Not an everyday piece, to be sure, but that beading...! I think thrift store pricing is relative - what me rationalise this purchase beyond reason ;) A large majority of my thrift store purchases are things I simply couldn't get anywhere else for a similar price, even if their price still seems high - a Chanel dress for $300? Yep, that's a lot in a thrift store but considering the retail price of around $3000, it seemed like a great deal to me. And really, anything that has had as much work go into it as this jacket with all of its delicate detail is a steal at $35! What an amazing find. I hope you had the most wonderful Christmas.

    That's one snazzy sweater, Lyddie! It's ok. I just spent lots of my Christmas money on goodies, too. Sometimes you've just gotta get in the spirit. :) Can't wait to see that plaid dress, too! <3

    A lovely jacket, and so right for the the party season upon us... I like the way you styled it with a clear white shirt and black trousers to give it the stage it deserve. Sara

    That new jacket is to die for, worth every single penny plus less than 40 bucks for 3 items sounds amazing. I love how it looks like it has lots of pennies embellished on it. Great way to style it for Christmas. Happy Belated Christmas by the way and Happy New Year!
