Last Chance

There are a total of six Last Chance Thrift stores in the Atlanta area. Every time I venture into the location closest to me I never know what to expect. I've found some great things at Last Chance, but I've also gone away incredibly disappointed - and disgusted (for a couple of months there was a funky smell at the back of the store, which kept me away). Last Chance Thrift stores are huge - more like warehouses - so you never know what you'll find. Monday's are the best because everything is half off and I made a couple of great purchases today: One pair of women's black oxfords and four piano scarves.

Oxfords might have been a fleeting trend, but I'm willing to risk it. These were too good to pass up (see left-hand image below). They're a little worn, but really good quality and I think they'd go well with some long, high-waisted straight-leg trousers - something similar to outfits in the Luella Spring 07 RTW line (right-hand image).


I'm not sure if these are technically piano scarves - actually, I'm not really sure what piano scarves are, but these seemed to fit my idea of piano scarf-ness. It's a little warm to think about wearing these, but I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of them in the fall and winter.

When I saw the scarves, the first thing that came to mind was the image of this French woman in Nylon's Street. I like how her outfit isn't trendy and the scarf adds a bit of je ne sais quoi, no?
