This very light wash denim jacket is possibly my all time favourite thrifted find. Firstly, because I wear it so much. It practically goes with anything and is brilliant to layer with when the summer evenings get chilly. Secondly, because it was FREE. It had what seemed to be a coffee stain on it so the shop assistant told me to take it for nothing. The best part? The stain came out in the wash.
I always dig out these boots come winter. They were slightly caked in mud when I bought them, but a quick wipe over and they've already lasted me over a year of constant wear. The shoe section is always worth a look, especially if you buy unseasonably as it is even cheaper. These were just £1.
I went against my own rule on this occasion. I found this dress in a "vintage" section and it is, in fact, originally from Primark. It was also a little pricey for me at £4.99. As the ultimate cheapskate I don't like to spend over £5 on an item in a charity shop unless I really love it. Having said that this dress is perfect for going out. It looks like you've made an effort when you secretly all you've done is thrown on a dress.
Since buying it a few weeks ago this small rucksack has become my everyday handbag. It's a great size to throw everything in and go. It was a well-timed find as the day before I very nearly bought an almost identical bag in New Look for £23. This beauty was £1.
This is only a tiny selection of my thrifted favourites, I have enough to fill an entire blog let alone one post. I may categorise them and do separate posts (shoes, dresses, home ware etc). Let me know what you think!
Much love,

Those shoes are absolutely gorgeous! I too adore charity shopping, and have been doing so with my Mum for years, glad to see others doing the same. I was very proud of a beautiful Topshop dress I found once. I'm annoyed I didn't take any photos of it at the time, as its gone now. I definitely would love to see more of this blog! x
ReplyDeleteThank you! Glad you liked it :). It's such a thrill to find stuff from Topshop and more expensive brands in charity shops. I got a Topshop dress once for £2, it must've retailed at something like £30! x
