Goodwill Good Buy of the Week

Pretty in Purple

This week, we have some very nice purple pieces for your buying pleasure. I'm so excited about the Etro shoes. Etro is one of my favorite boutique Italian fashion houses. According to Wikipedia, "Its signature look, incorporating bright colors and bold, kaleidoscopic patterns paired with classic tailoring, have frequently featured the paisely. Its men's and women's retail collections also include shoes, leather goods and accessories." These shoes follow the bold Etro look: bright purple patent leather, funky perforation, a delicate bow tie and a small gold charm. They are in very good used condition, but could use a tiny shine to bring them up to their true potential. The heel is about 1/2 inch, and they are a European size 381/2 (US 8). I found a pair of Etro shoes on Yoox for $275. Get them here for much less!




To accompany these fabulous shoes (that I would buy if they fit me), we offer you this handsome purple suede bag by Rafe. It is trimmed in purple patent as well and has heavy goldtone hardware. It's in like-new condition. I did not see any noticeable wear on the bag at all. This bag was purchased at Nordstrom and has the original tag. The retail value is $365.



Finally, we complete our outfit with a feminine lace-trim tunic top by Free People. It is made of a gauzy fabric and trimmed with lace on the top, sleeves and the back. (See the picture of the back of the shirt - so pretty.) It is in good condition (except for 2 spots on the front that should come out in the wash or at the dry cleaners) and can be had for a deep discount. I'm estimating full price for this top would be about $78.



Happy bidding! Link to shopgoodwill.com will be up later today, so stay tuned.
