Those are decidedly mid-80s pieces. I...am lukewarm about re-living the 80s.
I just Googled to check on Bonnie Boerer sweaters; they're apparently collectible, but they go on internet retail between 30 to 70. Not 150. The other sweater looks inexpensively made. Heaven knows what this alleged "thrift" shop is thinking when they price this stuff.
Here's an article circa 1987 about Boerer ("with a wide streak of turquoise under each eye"). It's quaint.
Yeah, they must have thought that they were doing their research properly but obviously they were not! It's a shame that this shop decided to change the way they price things. They used to be a LOT more reasonable, but now they seem to be trying for that "upscale" status, which is not going to keep customers around! It's a THRIFT store - we're going there to save money!
Looks like I'll only be popping in when they do their $1 and "fill a bag" sales....
Oh, lordy, I've seen several 80s style things at my retail job. And they sell too! All the young folks like them. Well, at least it's nice to know that the young have just a bad a sense of fashion now as we did back then. XD
Cure has amazingly low prices - not just during their $1 sales. Most of their items are actually under $10 but if it's worth more, they price it a little higher but still not crazy high. I've been shopping there since they first opened and the quality of their items is just getting better. These sweaters are a really bad example of what Cure carries and what they price stuff at.
They're not "Thrift Store", they're "Vintage"! *lol* Yep, add vintage to your tag and you can immediately charge outlandish prices for something you're grandmother wouldn't wear!

Ed.: Pshhht, on Etsy those Googled prices are high: whoever priced that is an idiot, considering we live in a digital world. Also, that one floral sweater is pretty.

80s style should stay in the 80s!
