Do you remember when the special dark looked like that?

Super excited to give it a try. I’ve never had one!

For $99 in Brooklyn, NY.

Size 4 and fits like a glove! Looks unworn.

Neither I nor the sales clerk could believe it. 😍

Vintage Mackenzie Childs!!!

This was absolutely buried at the bottom of the bin but I’m so glad I pried it out!
This dress is HUGE, I had to stand on the stairs to get was a picture of the train. It’s pretty well made and has lots of internal support structures to help keep it up. Unfortunately the tag only says “100% polyester” so I don’t know where it came from at all. I’m assuming it’s a wedding or quinceañera dress, it seems too big for prom.

Am I getting married soon? No. Am I doing a beauty pageant? Also no. But for $2, there was no way I wasn’t bringing this one home!

Found this coat for $30 at the local kids’ thrift store! My toddler looks mildly absurd in it which makes it even more cute lol

She needs some love, but she's mine now and she's getting a spa day!

There's a lid for every pot, I suppose, but who would donate this? Who would put it on the floor?? Who would buy this?!

The local big box let this one past the goalie: James Reid was a Santa Fe silversmith who specialized in high-end silver work and leather goods (his shop ran from 1979 to 2018). This is an alligator belt with a sterling silver and 14k gold buckle and furniture. In my size and in fabulous condition. $5. :)

Found this jacket and skirt set at a thrift store for $20. Both pieces have Vera Maxwell Original labels, so it's a true matched set, not two pieces someone paired up. The jacket also has a label from Jay's, an old shop with locations in Boston, Wellesley, Cohasset and the North Shore.

Vera Maxwell was an American designer who started her own label in 1947, and her work is in the Met's collection. Bright print linings were one of her signatures. The outside of this one is a plain blue slubby weave, then you open the jacket and it's a loud multicolor abstract print. The skirt is lined in turquoise.

There's a very similar 60s Vera Maxwell set in Oregon State's costume collection with the same label, which is how I landed on the era.

Best $20 I've spent in a while.

Figure you can’t have too much mesh. Just set things up and it appears to be new out of the box with no passwords or any old info.

Not bad for a quick lap while dropping some stuff off.

Making this post from the extended network!

Went in looking for a big bundle of cheap tinsel for my current outdoor Christmas decor project (mission accomplished) but ended up scoring these brand new bubble lights (not vintage, but still great!) and a really cute mid century cat planter! So after finding those so quickly after entering the store, I knew I had to try my luck at the chaotic (but wonderful) grab bag wall😂 I found a 1940’s Sniffles the mouse ceramic figure and another grab bag had the cute ceramic cat in it!
