My 5 Favourite Charity Shop Bloggers

Love talking about charity shops & thriftiness? You’ll feel right at home with my free Facebook group! Join the Money Mess To Financial Success gang to improve your finances and transform your life!

If you’ve visited my blog once or twice before, you’ll probably already know that I’m a little bit obsessed with charity shops. I enjoy trawling through them on the hunt for my next bargain and there’s nothing better than emerging from the shop triumphantly with something new (or old, whichever way you look at it).

I also love reading about other bloggers’ charity shop finds though too, and so here are just a few of my favourite charity shop bloggers that I’ve been following recently. I’m always on the lookout for more vintage/second hand inspiration though, so if you enjoy blogging about your thrifty finds too, leave a link in the comments below so I can see what you’ve been up to 🙂

Pauper To Princess

Pauper To Princess is a brilliant charity shop blog created by Louise, from Dorset. It might just be my favourite second hand blog as it’s pretty much a one-stop-shop for all things thrift.

One thing I love about Pauper To Princess is that Louise never hesitates to share tons of stories from fellow thrifty bloggers. After one visit to her website, you’ll leave with a list as long as your arm of other charity shop lovers and thrifting fantastics to keep an eye out for.

I’m pretty jealous of how well-travelled Louise is too, as some of her most recent blog posts have shared unique fashion finds from places such as Amsterdam, Thailand and Estonia.

Paloma In Disguise

Paloma in Disguise is a fashion blog created by Theatrical Costume student, Hannah. Everything she wears is just adorable and I love how she often manages to incorporate second hand shirts from charity shops in her outfits. I often spot old shirts that I like the look of, but if they don’t fit perfectly or I can’t think of something to wear them with on the spot, I tend to leave them on the rail.

Polkadot Pink

I’ll start off by saying that not everything on Polkadot Pink is from charity shops. Some items have been borrowed from friends and some are off the high street, but the items that blogger, Donna, manages to thrift are just so gorgeous that I decided she’s well deserving of a place in this list.

If you’re a lover of pastels, prints, lots of layers, and great photos, I definitely recommend paying Donna a visit.

Charity Shop Chic

The woman behind Charity Shop Chic is a clothes upcycling pro! By altering and resizing unwanted items of clothing that she’s found in charity shops, she rescues clothes from landfill by injecting them with a new lease of life. Sometimes, if something looks almost beyond repair, she’ll simply cut it up and start from scratch. If you want to start learning how to alter and customise everything from t-shirts to dresses, then I’d definitely recommend having a nosey at the Charity Shop Chic blog. Hats of to her for transforming this huge frumpy blazer into the one below it.

 

Charity Shop Gold

[July 2016 update: Charlotte’s taking a break from blogging and her website is currently private]

Charlotte is a fellow charity shop blogger from Manchester. I stumbled across her blog, Charity Shop Gold, through Instagram and it was only after commenting on each others’ photos a few times that we realised we haunt many of the same charity shops as one another. To be honest, as a much more experienced charity shopper than I, Charlotte really does have an eye for tracking down the best pieces, and both her blog and Instagram are filled with gorgeous finds!

In a recent blog post, I shared some charity shop tips, and mentioned the importance of looking out for timeless classics that you’ll be able to wear time and time again, and this is something that Charlotte does so well. After having a nosey at her blog, give her a follow on Instagram @charityshopgold

I’m always on the lookout for other bloggers with a love for charity shops and thriftiness, so if this sounds like you, or you know someone I should pay a visit, please get in touch!
