The colour and shape suit you perfectly.<br /><br />The latest secondhand bargain of mine must be a brown woolen coat this winter. I agree, finding blazers and coats secondhand with the right fit is nearly impossible. But when you finally do it's like hitting the lottery.<br /><br />Oh, this must be my first time commenting here. Hello! (Btw, I found your blog through Style Salvage.

I think the best bargain I have got recently is... Well I'm not sure where to start haha. Just found a Dries Van Noten skirt for $20 ummm and the £25 Liberty Print shirt was a pretty good deal I thought considering I was still in Liberties. Probably the best deal was a Michael Kors cashmere sweater for $1! Unfortunately its so small (womens) that I am going to re-sell it see what I can get for that.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690939878826195736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119032066305865264.post-14237107986209813332011-01-28T17:58:45.816+00:002011-01-28T17:58:45.816+00:00No bargains of late, but it does suit you quite we...No bargains of late, but it does suit you quite well.
