Yesterday I scored myself another Burberry rain coat within minutes of walking into one of my favorite thrift stores. I do mean minutes! I was really ecstatic actually because this rain coat was khaki green and the other two I own are tan. So I said to myself “I can use another Burberry coat especially since it was marked for $11.29″. Driving home I asked myself just how many Burberry coats do I need hanging in my closet? I rationalized buying this coat because of it’s color. So I guess the outcome of this story is I actually do need 3 Burberry coats, for now! Time to shop. Toodles for now. Daniel

What pops out at me while I’m shuffling through racks of coats, blazers and jackets are these magical words, “Made in Italy” or “Made in France”. Those words are music to my ears ! So you can only imagine my delight when I ran into this Giorgio sport jacket the other day. It is made of the finest Italian wool and fits me to perfection. Once I get it dry cleaned it might just become my new favorite coat, ( don’t tell Karl) . The jacket was priced at $8.29, retail this would be $855 and way up, so I saved myself $846.71. With that savings I could book a ticket down to Buenos Aires. Toodles for now. Daniel

I had a tad bit of lady luck with me yesterday as I gathered up 2 really beautiful Ermenegildo Zegna items. The first thing I collected was the Zegna Sport sweater marked at $4.29, when Zegna diversified into the Zegna Sport it included jackets, knitwear, beachwear, accessories, shirts and even denim with innovative, durable and exquisite fabric developments. The second item I found was the casual light blue shirt marked at $3.29. Together these 2 items will look very stylish and for only $7.58 how could I have gone wrong? Toodles for now. Daniel

While I was out hitting some thrift stores yesterday I came across these brand new Clarks Wallabees women shoes size 10. Seeing these shoes took me down memory lane, when I was in high school in NOWHERE land Texas back in 1982, I owned a pair of these shoes( except mine were mens!) They were expensive then, just like when Calvin Klein introduced his denim jeans back in 1980 and they retailed for $45 and oh yes I had 2 pair of them! These shoes were amazingly comfortable and stylish then and still are. So when I saw them I had to snatch them up especially since they were only $5.00. Later I saw this gold leather belt by a company called Worth, made in Italy, that I just had to have. Again with the women’s wear???…… Who can pass up an Italian belt for $1.75? No one I know. Toodles for now. Daniel
