Went thrifting tonight!

So tonight i went to Salvo for the first time in nearly a year.  I was on a mission for scarves, gloves and clutches.  I found a good handful of scarves for .49 a piece.  No gloves at all, not a single pair.  And no clutches.  But to make up for it, i found a fabulous coat, a blue floral dress, and two cardigans to upcyle.

This scarf was a neat find.  I am pretty sure it is a real silk scarf and has a hand rolled hem.  Its a bit threadbare in a few places but still worth the .49 price tag.

This is a nice heavy winter coat with a brown and grey herringbone pattern.  It is sized a medium and is decidedly to large for me.  I hope to start taking it in soon and making it a bit of a fit and flair.  I am fairly certain it is a women's coat with a coral lining but when I put it on it just doesnt seem shaped for a woman.  Regardless it has potential. Paid 8 bucks for it.

Yeah i know, terrible picture lol.  But it is a neat dress that i nabbed for 6 bucks.  The label says made in India and I am fairly sure that was where it was bought too.  The design label is in Indian.  I am hoping to raise up the hem, and maybe change up the neckline but I am not sure how yet.  I am going to make it short sleeved for sure though.  Going for a 40's look. 


I think tomorrow i will start on the cardigans.  They are both a bit big and boxy but nice colors that I wear a lot so I thought I would take them in.
