MAJOR SCORE, REPORTING FOR DUTY

11-27-09 1

If you watch How I Met Your Mother, that post title is pretty funny.

As it implies, this outfit features a seriously major score!

Can you believe this jacket?!  When I found it at Goodwill on Monday, I literally had a moment.  I could feel my smile creep from ear to ear and my heart fluttered just bit.  Then I tried it on and had my moment all over again.

I didn't even know how much it would cost, but I didn't care.  And to find out it was only $8?  I couldn't pass it up in a million years!

11-27-09 bracelet

Ooh ... I almost forgot - there is another major score in this post!  How do you like this lion head bracelet?  Pretty sweet, no?  I found it at a yard sale back in October when I spent the weekend in Eagles Mere.  As per usual, I had no cash on me, so thanks, Mom!

    That jacket is so great on its own but it is also such a great canvas for some DIY accents! Gold buttons and some trim on the pockets, or even some fringe on the shoulders! Oooh I wish I could find something like that! I did find this long sheer rad jacket last weekend that I am going to put some fringe onto but its not nearly as great as this jacket!

    I clicked on the "iggy" tag and found this post:

    Oh my goodness, that jacket is absolutely incredible, as is the lion bracelet.

    I love finding treasures like that bracelet when I thrift, but sadly have an allergy to most non-precious metals. Good find!

    PS - good gravy, is he (she?) a cute pup!
