When I got home from thrifting with Umie I quickly called Sloan and said ‘you missed one hell of a thrifting day.’  When Umie and I arrived at a thrift store we divided up so quickly you would have thought someone had passed some bad gas!   She went in one direction and I conquered another and when we met in the middle she handed me this Akris dark gray jacket.  I laughed because I was holding the matching slacks in my hand.  Somehow when this suit entered the thrift store it got separated and it took Umie and I to reunite this magnificent Akris ensemble.  Akris has written over 80 years of history as the Swiss family company in St. Gallen.  With just one sewing machine, Albert und Peter Kriemier’s grandmother, Alice Kriemier-Schoch, laid the foundations for the current operation in 1922 and at first, made only aprons.  I quickly found this sexy Bebe Asian influenced silk blouse that I think looks like a winning combination.  I love the splash of red against this dark gray suit, I think it elevates the suit even further, if that’s even humanly possible.  Enjoy The Thrifters Boutique and follow me on Twitter & Facebook, also please enjoy my YouTube videos on thrifting.   Toodles for now.   Daniel
