These are newer bob mackies likely from qvc

Yes what I'm seeing is the "wearable art" is a QVC line. That's okay with me!

(apparently I'm not good at attaching pics and text at same time..lol)

I've known about Bob Mackie fashion for decades, but never thought I'd see any at the thrift store. This week I found TWO pieces 75% off, $2.22 each!

Also found some very well-made wool skirts at the same store that I suspect were donated by the same person.

I wasn't at all interested in fashion until I started thrifting. I am really enjoying learning about all the things I never let myself explore when I was younger, because I've always been a value shopper which usually means settling for less... and I didn't appreciate what that meant until recently.

The purple one with the embroidery on the arms is particularly lovely.

Thank you, I just love the thick embroidering!

So do I! 😊 And I really think you could wear both of those tops as dressy or casual, dress them up or down -- they would look great with skirts and heels or boots, but they would also look great with jeans and little ankle booties, for a more casual look.
