What I found during this thrifting escapade were a pair of culottes, skirt, slacksand one vintage Italian wicker clutch, it was a busy day. The BCBGsmoky blue culottes size 2 still have the original tag with price of$146.00 just innocently dangling. Founded in 1989 BCBG by Max Azria istaking the world by storm. With critically acclaimed collections, aloyal following of Hollywood’s top celebrities and a strong worldwidepresence, this fashion powerhouse has evolved into one of the hottestnames in the fashion industry today. Next item I found was this Theoryblack skirt size 12 with a long slit that makes this skirt even morestylish and voguish. Theory continues to evolve and grow its globalpresence while remaining grounded in its founding principles: a simpledesign philosophy, clean silhouettes, quality, craftsmanship and fit.These EllenTracy petite 0 wool / rayon slacks are clean line and modern bydesign. Today the brand Ellen Tracy is having some financial issues,Neiman Marcus and Saks both used to carried this brand, today it’s beendemoted to Macy’s. I wonder how does a company that used to amoderately priced brand once sold in these exclusive department storeslose that edge? Food for thought?? Finally I found this gorgeousvintage Valerie, made in Italy, wicker clutch trimmed with Lucite.This clutch can easily go with the culotte, skirt and slacks with theright accessory aka the shoes !
