I have never been disappointed by my favourite VV Boutique, but some trips are more successful, like the Oscars of thrifting. A couple weeks ago, I stopped in to make a donation and get some stamps on my stamp card, and then walked the red carpet* right to a couple amazing finds.
First up, this perfect condition, perfect fit, perfect lightweight wool Jax camel houndstooth coat for $10!!!!
I have no idea why I can’t find on-line information about Jax but even if you knew nothing about the label, you can just tell that this is a quality garment. The tailoring, drape and feel of the fabric is just… dear. (you have to use words like that when you wear double-breasted camel houndstooth) Houndstooth is a timely pattern that has been on my hunting list for a while and the camel colour will transition between seasons better than basic black. And it looks great on a blonde, what can I say. (Or should I say “blonde?” Don’t answer that.)
Next up, my sis scored this silk Nicole Miller scarf in great condition in perfect colours for $8.

I am happy to see that you have enjoyed the Coat as much as I knew you would. This lesson teaches us that sometimes it’s just better to shop in pairs when at VVBoutique.
Yes!! Always hunt in pairs! Preferably different sizes so that you don’t have to take each out in competition for certain items, like Nicole Miller scarves. 😉
