Thanks! I Found It In A Charity Shopfeatured

It’s common knowledge that you can find out exactly where a dress was from and how much it costs simply by complimenting a girl’s outfit. I don’t know why us women so often feel the need to share all this information as soon as someone says “nice coat” but we just do! And “Thanks! £5. Charity Shop!” is the type of phrase I’ve found myself uttering on numerous occasions recently, having picking up some absolutely amazing second hand bargains.

Far too many people seem to be under the impression that charity shops are filled with junk that no one wants to buy, but this simply isn’t the case. With trends changing on a regular basis and many dedicated fashion-lovers replacing their wardrobes every season, charity shops are often bursting at the seams with both high street and designer garments. Here are just three charity shop items that I’ve picked up recently…

At £14.99 the dress below was a bit pricier than I’d usually pay in a charity shop, but considering it is brand new with tags and was originally a whopping £169, I decided I’d hit the jackpot! Big thanks to whoever donated this beauty to Oxfam in Withington.

I’m currently on a bit of a mission to smarten up my wardrobe (without spending a ton of money on brand new items) so as soon as I spotted this gorgeous long sleeved lil number in The British Heart Foundation, I knew I had to try it on. I’ve worn it several times in the last few weeks, so already feel like I’m well on my way to getting my money’s worth.

Another British Heart Foundation treat, it really was love at first sight with this Henry Holland dress. I love how it’s casual enough to wear with leggings and trainers, but could easily be smartened up with tights, shoes and a blazer.

Snapped up any gorgeous second hand bargains lately? Whether its from a charity shop, car boot sale or eBay, I’d love to see your finds.
