Hey there, long lost readers! Sorry for my silence lately; things have been a bit crazy lately. My job has completely consumed my life the past few weeks, and given that I don't get to see Matt on the weekends, I pretty much unplug from the world to focus on spending time with him.
Even in the midst of the craziness, however, I had to pop in and show you all my new favorite thrift find. Two weekends ago, in honor of MLK Day, our local Savers hosted a 50% sale. Now I've been resisting some pretty amazing sale emails lately (I'm looking at you Loft and Talbots), but I could not pass up 50% off at my favorite thrift store. Matt initially tried to protest, but when I gave him the "are you seriously criticizing me for wanting to hit up a thrift store sale" look, he backed off. Smart move dude; I am not one to miss a Savers sale. Anyway, about ten seconds after we walked into Savers, I spotted this faux fur lovely, hanging ever so neatly, calling out to me. I may or may not have squealed when I saw it. I was certain it was too good to be true, but alas it was not. It was a fabulous fitting, faux fur find. (Dare you to say that 3 times fast?) And to top it off...it was four freaking dollars. I mean, how can you beat that?
So here it is, my faux fur vest, in its $4 goodness.

Leggings: Ann Taylor
Bracelet: Ann Taylor

PS: Did I mention that I'm pretty sure I tried this exact vest on at the beginning of the season at full price? I cannot for the life of me remember where I tried it on, and because it's reversable, it doesn't have a tag. Pretty sure I ended up getting it for about 96% off :)
This past Saturday, I ended up throwing on my beloved vest as Matt and I ate at our favorite local breakfast spot. Can't get enough of this little furball.

What a steal! I've seen a few people pull off a faux fur vest -- and you're one of them! =)
I have been seeing these kinds of vests everywhere (thank God fur is coming back into fashion!!) and have been dying for one!
It is fabulous. Extremely jealous of your find!! :)
OMG I HAVE THAT VEST! I got it three years ago at the Gap...and I sure as heck payed way more for it! I loved it then, and love it now! I can tell from the pictures that it is the exact same one!
Great find!! Love the layered look :)
