Yours,
sooooooooooooo I'm in love with turtlenecks! I thought I was the only person that wears them, they're like my essential fall staple. they frame a face so well if you ask me, and in a turtleneck I find you never have a bad hairday, is that wierd? Needless to say I'm drooling over the Olive wool turtleneck you got.
what great finds! ugh! love that angora cardigan! i love cardigans & scarves... i sure miss fall...

Such classy clothes. It makes me want fall. I would totaly wear that plaid jumper.

It seems that every fall I attempt to add something new to my wardrobe but I always end up lots of plaid. Plaids in different shades... and I still want more.
Ah! I love the cardigans! I am super jealous of your finds. Fall is my favorite season to dress for.

I know what you mean about fall & classical, preppy looks; I've been pouring over ebay for some APC Madras & Steven Alan pieces within my budget today! I'm also pining for fall weather, it's in the 100s here. Key pieces I'm searching high & low for: vintage Ferragamo bow flats in various colours (just splurged on a grey pair on ebay, it seems so hard to find nice grey leather shoes!), a fitted black leather jacket, & the everpresent merino wool or cashmere sweaters.
I went thrifting the other day and noticed that Fall items are starting to hit the racks, which is definitely a change I'm looking forward to embracing. Every time I see something slightly preppy and plaid, I think of you!
Oh how fun - fall fashion has to be my favorite. I'm excited for cozy cardigans and riding boots, with a great blazers. When autumn comes around I instantly turn into the equestrian I never was!
WOW Maria, your autumn finds are fantastic! I don't know which one I like best, but the plaid coat and the Southwestern cardigan are definitely some of my favorites! Can't wait to see you style them! I'm not sure what I want for autumn, but probably similar pieces to yours or clothes that remind me of fall and the English countryside :)
You hit the jackpot indeed!! my favorite is the 80s wool blazer!! For fall I can't wait to wear sleeveless dresses with frilly blouses underneath ^.^
Beautiful stuff and such good deals! I just got $62 worth of stuff (which was only a book and a pair of E shoes) for $4.08 at our Goodwill yesterday. I think I am going to start going every week now.
My goodness, that tartan dress is something else! Lovely find! I always seem to get great things from the Salvation Army, whenever or wherever I go – I think it's because they haven't quite cottoned on to the 'vintage thing' yet, which is great! x
that angora sweater is going to look AMAZING on you sweetie!!! great finds!
xo,

:) I really like that jumper. I can never find anything in vintage or thrift shops :(
Great stuff Maria! I can't wait to see you style them all up :)
wow, so many great things to layer. Moving to the pnw has made me appreciate warm jackets and cardigans all the more
This post is inspiring me to think about what I like for fall ... I'm not sure yet!
Wow, gorgeous pieces Maria! You really got lucky! Can't wait to see how you style these.

What lovely clothes, and amazing bargains! I feel so inspired for the autumn now!

I'm trying to be good and not buy much as my wardrobe is full, but I have my eye on two pairs of pumps that I will fit in somehow. I'm already looking forward to it though, fashion wise Autumn and winter are my favourite seasons!
I love that plaid car coat it looks so cosy! I have also been going for "school uniform" items recently. Brown brogues and a white blouse were my last purchases, next on my list is a duffel coat. xxx
Wow, all the jackets above are really cool! I can imagine that you'll style them amazingly!
The first thing that inspired me for fall this year was the H&M catalogue that arrived yesterday, they have the prettiest ankle boots and high boots for fall/winter! :)
I can't wait for fall! It's my favorite season. You got so many lovely pieces! :)
i love that first one! and its not something i usually into

That vintage plaid car coat is great!! Perfect for a few crisp picnics this fall.
I'm inspired to buy alot this fall. I'm looking forward to getting back into my boots, and hoping to find some perfect leather lace up ones. If you find any size 8's for the shop let me know!!

That plaid jumper dress is so cute. Being in the other hemisphere means that I am looking forwards to spring, not fall, and I think that this season it is going to be all about lovely 40s/50s skirts with petticoats and crinolines underneath. And I am going to make myself a boater hat!
xox,

Oh man, those are all pretty dang amazing. Now I know what I wish I could find when I go thrifting today!!
Wow you really really scored! good job girl!
I've very jealous of the two cardigans. This post inspires me to get out to my nearest thrift store and dig through the sweater racks. There's something amazing about finding great secondhand/vintage that gives you an adrenaline rush. There isn't really anything like it.
And ya...fall does call out preppy to me. My style is so un-preppy that I never feel like i'm going to over-prep

STOP! Omg, you are making me want fall like woah!! Fabulous finds, cannot wait to see you don these fantastic duds!
Great finds! Love the wool jumper and plaid blazer. The Salvation Army is probably my favorite place to shop.
I've been on a boot kick lately, which is ridiculous because I have enough already, but fall shoe shopping sounds so appealing right now. But I've made a promise to myself that there'll be no more shopping until I'm about 50. Was recently given a *ton* of amazing clothes by a family member who's moving and downsizing, and it'd just be absurd to keep shopping...
(It wasn't a very firm promise though, and I've already broken it by buying a pair of shoes on eBay. Oh well... lol.)
Oh goodness! What glorious finds :) That plaid dress is divine!!
I'm looking forward to a fabulous new pair of jeans...and a giant cowlneck sweater! They're my favorite :)
Impressive finds at such great prices. I don't have any concrete thoughts of new fall clothes, but I'm going to continue to try to limit myself to shopping thrift and vintage shops.
Ohh! Fall clothes! *dies of happiness*
I just want to roll around in that cableknit angora sweater. Beautiful.
I adore the jumper, it looks very comfortable!

Oh what great finds...I do love that corduroy jacket.

I love the 4th blue/green jacket! Cant wait to see how you wear these things.
