I've been thrifting, searching for the past few months and today was a big day for me - found all kinds of great items of clothing to alter, wear as is, tear up and remake, etc. Here are a few from my haul.

Here is a beautiful, uniquely patterned cotton sateen jacket, fully lined that fits me great!

LILLY PULITZER - Yep, you heard right! But.....it's a size 4. I bought it for 4.00! I think my friend, Peyton still wears a 4 - looks like last year's premier design - can you beleive it??
This beautiful, soft cotton brocade fully lined jacket is very large - size 3 Chico's. I'll alter it and add some trim probably to fit me. Shown with the black velvet skirt, of course.


This is NWT Ann Taylor and just beautiful. Chiffon with embroidery. I am trying to make a Nataya style dress with over jacket in this very same style. This one will fit my daughter, Melissa I think. Adding the rest of the dress to it should be interesting.
More to come a little later~
