I hunted high and low for a navy blazer - it's actually quite impressive how hard it is to find such a thing in Canada! All the stores kept telling it will probably come in the spring collections. Is a blazer only a spring item? One morning a few weeks ago I had some time on my hands so I ran a few errands and decided if there was a place to park, I would look in the thrift shop. I know Adrienne shops at her local thrift shop all the time and finds some of the most incredible deals but it's not the sort of thing I tend to do. I guess I feel I don't have time to pick through a mishmash of items. Anyhoo, there was a parking spot right out front, the store was open (a bit of a crapshoot in this town) and was fairly free of crowds. I looked around, didn't see what I wanted and decided to ask...sure enough, that morning...they put out a brand new Talbots navy blazer...in my size...petite even! It fits perfectly right off the hanger and the $5.00 price tag was well within my clothing budget. Sold!
Have a fabulous day!

What a find! OK I'm inspired I must have dig around ours - you know it will be all old lady check skirts and old school uniforms.

There is nothing better than finding a Talbot's Navy Blazer for $5 bucks. I love thrift stores for just that reason.
I always forget about my navy blazer! I need to pull that sucker out more often!
Oh you lucky thing! Talbot's petite clothes were my very favourite when I was working. Before the trend seemed to go uber-casual. I think a navy blazer always looks great with jeans and smart casual is definitely a great style to have. Well done you! It was clearly meant to happen.
That blazer was meant to be yours and finding a parking space out front whoo hoo!
Love how you've accessorized today!
This makes me so happy - and a little bit proud :) I am always pleased as punch when I can convince someone who does not thrift to give it a try.
A Talbots blazer for $5! That is a super find.
I have missed my thrift shopping excursions - it's been about a month since I have been. Your post has enticed me to get back to it!
I haven't worn a blazer in a long time! You are inspiring me for the fall. BTW that picture on facebook of you and your son is SO SO SO SO CUTE!

Yay on the great find! I hear you, navy blazers are hard to find, I found a corduroy one at Tall Girl recently. I consider that a success. :)
WOW! What a find. Today, I wore my Austin Reed navy blazer with a camel skirt.
Nice blazers are hard to find these days. Love this one and LOVE the price! Very cute ought SP!
