Goodwill: Ralph Lauren and Affordable Classic Styling
I have written much lately about how quality, classic styling never goes out of style! Some reply, “But I cannot afford the prices on top designer fashion pieces.” Quality is just not affordable…some say. Well, I submit to you….It can be…
This $275 Ralph Lauren jacket was brand new…all tags on…when I found it at GOODWILL SA (Bulverde Road @ Highway 1604). It is great classic styling which never goes away!
The striped cotton Ralph Lauren blouse was found at GOODWILL SA (Bitters Road @ Highway 281) and goes perfect with the jacket…there are so many ways I can wear these pieces.
The scarf is not designer, but can be paired perfectly with the jacket or blouse and has the same Ralph Lauren touch! I always look at the scarves when I shop Goodwill!
Check out their GOODWILL SA FACEBOOK PAGE, and remember your donations and dollars are helping the local community!!
Those are great pieces Pam. I am looking for a quality navy blazer myself, and I actually have a red-pinstriped shirt on my shopping list. So when I saw this, I thought, that is just what I'm looking for in my own wardrobe!! My Goodwill is so sadly lacking, just dropped two boxes of clothes off there yesterday for fall/winter that did not see the light of day last year! The store is shabby and kind of dusty/dirty, just sad. I haven't found things there as yet. In the area where I live, the best thrifted pieces are at consignment stores. You scored some beauties and they will never go out of style! Karen
I once had that same jacket, classics never do go out of style. You look great!
Pam, you are an amazing Goodwill sleuth! What wonderful things you find there. I can picture the blouse with your jeans too, sleeves turned up for a casual summer look.
Classic pieces are always perfect staples. I love that scarf! It's really elegant looking. ๐
Pam, I love the blouse with that classic blazer. ๐ xo Sabina @Oceanblue Style
You make me want to run to Goodwill! I have not made time to thrift shop in ages but posts like this have me rethinking that. I love that blazer – forever classic as is the top.
I'm with you, Pam. Thrifting is still my primary go-to for great pieces, and even trends that may not survive more than a season or two. Nice score ๐

Totally agree, Pam! I cannot tell you how many quality pieces I've found at Goodwill with original price tags still on them. It's smart shopping! T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com

Some really fab finds! I do shop at thrift and second hand shops and fleamarkets regularly and have found a couple designer pieces for very little money as well.

You know I love a great thrifted find!! I have donated a lot of my clothes back to the thrift store, but I have kept my Ralph Lauren crested blazer I scored at Savers last year. ๐
