I took these pictures in my living room before I went out with some friends, and I think it looks like I'm heading out to do the charleston with my big faux fur coat and headpiece. This coat is one of my favorite items in my wardrobe, and you're going to be seeing a lot more of it as it gets colder. I found it at Goodwill after searching for the perfect faux fur coat for ages. I saw it but I thought it was overpriced ($70!) for Goodwill so I had to leave it behind. Well then of course, I just couldn't get it out of my head so I went back a few days later to get it. Now...this is so bad and you'll probably all hate me but I pulled the tag off because I thought it was such ridiculous price, and had one of the staff reprice it. Well she put it at $40! Oh gosh, I am dreadful, I essentially stole $30 from Goodwill. I am a notorious haggler, I once got a pair of boots in Urban Outfitters for $8 which were originally $80 because I complained that one boot was a lighter color than the other. I don't feel bad about that, but about Goodwill...that's just awful!
Anyway, that's is my beautiful coat. I wear it all the time and it is so warm (but really heavy...it keeps breaking all of my hangers!).

I am going pumpkin picking tomorrow, and I am looking forward to bringing my camera along and getting some good pictures. I hope you're all having the most fantastic weekends! Make me feel better and tell me some of your haggling stories!

You look fantastic!!
Don't feel bad - Goodwill totally overpriced that coat! If you think about their target audience - who can afford that?! It is such a fabulous find btw. :)
Oh and I too have been known to negotiate if their is a thread pull, small scuff mark etc..
Those shoes look awesome with those tights! This is such a cute outfit. And your camera takes lovely pictures! That coat is a great find :)

Lucy! Hahaha, omg, that is such a gorgeous coat. I think it's worth the 40 bucks. But probably not 70! I definitely need to take you shopping with me so you can haggle for me and save me a bunch of money! ♥ I love your entire outfit!
This is great, and oh the ole' tag switch a-roo. It reminded me on a book sales I was at for the Detroit PL and one book, only one was ridiculously priced and everything else was standard priced. It sadly lost it's tag and got the same price tag as all the other books I bought. Oops. :)
Your place looks amazing, can I live in the corner of the picture in that chair? It looks comfy and I promise I won't be much work haha.

Well $70 was way overpriced to begin with for some coat (however nice) at Goodwill. All the thrift stores are getting pretentions of being vintage stores these days.
Lovely pictures!
great tights!
