Where I'm from is not known for it's shopping. There's a tiny Topshop and Miss Selfridge and then a larger New Look and a Debenhams that stocks Warehouse. So my friends and I regularly go thrifting around charity shops ,as that's one thing we're not short of here. You also know that with a charity shop treasure you're not going to look the same as everyone else, it's a fraction of the price and the money is going to a good cause. So win/win in my eyes!
A couple of friends and I went round our favourite one last week - St Catherine's Hopsice and I managed to bag a couple of gems.
Starting with this dress for a fiver...
When I first bought it, it was past knee length as I'm assuming it once belonged to a sweet, old lady. But my friend helped me 'Gok Wan' it and we chopped it nice and short. It's perfect for this spring/summer as it's a lovely, pastel blue and has a cute, floral print. I wore it whilst on a night out and teamed it with silver jewellery, a tan, plaited belt, chunky heels and red lips to edge it up...
My second steal was a cool, crazy printed top for £4...
It grabbed my attention immediately and did make me wonder which senseless human being gave it away. The emerald green and royal blue work so well together and I cannot wait to print clash it with a flowery skirt over summer. However, I wore it on Saturday with some leather shorts that my friend got from H&M, ankle socks and debuted my Presley Topshop heels...
So excited that we have two, four day working weeks and a four day weekend. I just hope the weather bucks it's ideas up as easter egg hunts, beer gardens and BBQs are not so fun in the drizzle.
Hope you have some exciting easter plans organised!
Thanks for reading!
Love,
