That's a lot of Versace :shock:! Was that all at one store?
I've only found Versace jeans couture, and they were both way too tiny and overpriced.
I prefer thrift stores that actually have thrift store pricing too, but they're so out of the way. Plus, their stock really doesn't change that much, so they're not as fun to get to. I always find most of my stuff at VV, they have a huge selection and the turnover is pretty good. There's one near me that charges decent prices for a VV...most of the time...that's where I like to go.
My favourite finds since my last post:
Ann Taylor Loft - Coral leather (pigskin?) purse: $4.99 (RSP: $118...based on pricing on their site)
Satchi - Burgundy quilted leather purse w/chain straps: $5.99
This was on a full price day, but I thought prices were reasonable. They're both like new and great quality.
Navy blue stiletto boots: $3
Dark green leather booties: $3
Grey leather clutch w/gold leaf hardware: $1.50
This was from the Salvation army, on a half off day. It seems like they haven't had one for a long time, or else they just don't advertise it well.
Moschino cheap and chic - Wool blazer w/gold buttons (RSP: $1000+!)
Brown wool blazer w/gold buttons
Urban Behavior - Short sleeve blazer w/mesh panel
Each of these were $1 each! One of the 'real' thrift stores near me was having an awesome sale.
Burnished gold belt
Trafaluc Zara - Silver glitter circular box purse (RSP: $17.95)
Zara couture men - Navy blue military blazer (RSP:
$199)
Everything in the picture was $9.98 total from the Salvation Army. I'm pretty sure that store had a ton of sample merchandise from Zara, since the brand was crossed off on every item. They all had slight defects, but nothing major.
The blazer was such amazing quality, I was in awe! The inside is as nice as the outside..it was in the women's section, but it turns out it's for a man. I bought it for my brother. It only had a small tear in the lining. I wish I could wear it, but the tailoring is just way too masculine.
Real python skin clutch: $14.99
A lot more than I wanted to pay, but I was absolutely in love with it. Even though it's vintage, the style looks modern enough. A new one like this would probably be around $300 or more!
T. Babaton - Tinsley silk blouse: $2 (RSP: $98...it was still on their site the last time I looked!)
Red trapezoid purse w/loop lock closure: $2.50
Emporio Armani - tweed blazer: $4 (RSP: $700+!)
White lace high collar shirt w/pearl detailing: $2
$4 Armani, of course I had to pick it up! I have to say, I thought the Zara blazer above was much better quality...it was just amazing...

Asymmetrical wool jacket: $10
These are from local designers here. The quality is amazing, the fit and construction are just unbelievable. It's probably the finest garment I own, and I'm sure it retailed for several hundred dollars..probably near a thousand.
I found a picture of it on their website:
Also found these high ends suits:
Louis Féraud - Navy blue flared gold buckle skirt suit: $6.50 (RSP: $500+)
Bazar de Christian Lacroix - Burgundy pantsuit: $8.50 (RSP: $1500+!)
I'm always on the lookout for more! Can't wait until the next half off day, it's long overdue.
