<\/a><\/p>\nThis is by far my most expensive thrifted outfit since I have been blogging for Goodwill. The majority of it is the unique fur and leather purse from Longchamp. The next more expensive piece is the See by Chlo\u00e9 silver velvet jacket. The black booties from United Nude were found by a friend at the Robesonia location for $4.97. Rounding out the outfit are a pair of Rag & Bone skinny jeans (featured before on the blog – retail about $200), a black velvet tank top from Chico\u2019s and a teal beaded necklace from Coldwater Creek.<\/p>\n If you do the math (from the details below), you\u2019ll see I paid just 1% of the retail value of this look! While these aren\u2019t everyday finds for me, once in a while you find some very interesting and expensive pieces.<\/p>\n Jacket: $10.00 From my closet to yours, <\/p>\n About The Blogger<\/strong><\/p>\n Kirsten is a 40-something mom, wife and marketing professional.

I dug up this interesting handbag at the Reading Outlet. It caught my eye because of the unique color and details.\u00a0 It is not really my style, but for the blog\u2019s sake, I knew I had to purchase it. If you know the outlets, you know you only pay per pound. I estimated I paid about $4 for this bag. And after having it authenticated at the Longchamp store in King of Prussia, I discovered it was worth $2,200 when new. It was part of the 2012 More is More line. The salesperson was very impressed with my find!<\/p>\n <\/a> According to Wikipedia, \u201cSee by Chlo\u00e9 is a younger line of the Chlo\u00e9 luxury brand. This line manufactures ready-to-wear, handbags, and accessories since 2001. This line of apparel is intended to target the younger generation and is more affordable for those who are starting to become more sophisticated in their styles.\u201d The texture, pattern and shine from the fabric makes this a fun piece. I\u2019ve dressed it down with jeans, but could easily be layered over your little back dress for a night out! I estimate the original price at around $500. See by Chlo\u00e9 has been worn by the likes of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.<\/p>\n <\/a>How such a unique pair of heels ended up at a rural Berks County store amazes me! These are from the Eamz line. Despite how they look (with the metal heel), they are surprisingly comfortable and easy to wear. The brand was founded by Dutch architects and this style was inspired by an aluminum office chair by Ray and Charles Eames. The \u201cEamz\u201d series, featuring pumps, lace ups, boots and Mary Janes and they have integrated their heels with a detail of the chair foot, a feature that seems to suspend the shoe in mid-air. The would have been about $295 when new.<\/p>\n
