One Fab Score: Chloe at Beacon’s

chloedressThis past weekend I had not one, but two, magical thrift store experiences. One involved black and purple, over-the-knee suede boots; another story for another day. The other resulted in my snagging of the most JAPtastic items in my wardrobe to date.

Unlike more traditional thrift stores, Beacon’s Closet has as many recognizable brand-name wares as it does no-name hippie garb. You just need to be willing to hunt for the Pucci in the polyester. I knew I was getting good at unearthing designer gems: This shirtdress affirms that I am, in fact, a shopping predator.

Finding anything Chloe at a thrift store is an event of mythic proportions - I had to try it on before I really believed my ridiculous luck. The dress oozed quality and class and fit like a glove. chloedress2 I only belted it because it’s missing its two topmost buttons (a flaw currently being addressed by my seamstress…I should probs learn to sew at some point, whatevs).

Chloe dresses retail anywhere from $500 to $1000. Mine was $29.95. A big, fat, OMFG to that. I can still hardly believe it myself.
