I've mentioned before curvy divas, that I do enjoy going to the Thrift Store, rummaging, looking, and seeing if there's anything that I might be interested in. I haven't? Hmmm, must have been on my personal blog! My bad! Anyway, one of the things I like to do is to also look for vintage curvy styles, or any curvy styles for that matter.
I have a love of accessories that is beyond anything else (not counting my family, etc!).
I love handbags, costume jewelery, etc.! It doesn't matter to me if it's not brand name, although if it is, that's a major plus. Today I found two items that I liked a lot. Actually, four, but we're only going to look at two of them because the two I'm definitely keeping, a beautiful white Express tank in white (no photo yet) & a grey fitted jacket, less than $10 for both!!! Talk about shopping on a budget!lol!
Now to the items that I'm on the fence about:
 |
| I love silver usually, but don't mind gold, or gold-tones & this will fit in with my style! |
This is a gorgeous bracelet!
At $3.99, that's quite a find. I love the style, almost like gladiator bands! I've been looking for a bracelet similar to this, not necessarily with the beads, or mesh, and such; it has a magnetic closure.
The meshed bed is a perfect foil for the beaded attachments.
Then there is this find...before I show it to you, I've written about why counterfeit goods are bad for the fashion industry and I'm not a supporter of such. I will purchase items that are store brands aka as "Private Labels" or "House Brands". And I will support designs made legitimately that are a variation of any major designer, hey, it's a competitive world.
However, I won't support counterfeit a.k.a. passing off a product to look like the real thing! So that said.
At the Thrift Store, knowing how goods are obtained, from owners...I found this purse and before I even thought about the brand, the silhouette captivated me as I walked into the shop and saw it sitting on the counter (as if waiting for me, har, har)!!!
A closer look:

When I got home, I noticed another tag on the bottom, at a much higher price, $4500???!!!! - so I'm wondering about that price. I've scoured the Intraweb for anything that looks like it...nothing!

I've looked inside of the purse, it's not tagged with the Fendi label inside, nor does it have any other authentication inside the zippered section. It's a great looking purse, but I'm on the fence. At $14.99 from the Thrift Shop, it's a great buy.

| The back.... |

| The side.... |

| Here they are...plus there's a bit of threading loose on the handle of the bag.... |
But do I love it (them) or leave it (them)? What say you curvy divas?
