Finding my charity shop mojo

Sunday, August 05, 2012

You may have heard me say before that I don't have much luck in charity shops. Last year, despite numerous visits to loads of shops I only found one item - a long thick woolly cardigan. But this year I've had more success, in the last month alone I found these three lovely pieces.


Wearing a dip dye maxi skirt from Mind with a cat in hot pursuit.

 

Looking very pale in a print t-shirt from Sue Ryder, shorts pre-loved from eBay

 

Tunic (with pockets!) from Mind.

The t-shirt turned out to be a child's size and the tunic is three sizes larger than I normally wear, it just goes to show that size really is just a number and it's worth having a sneaky peek at everything, you never know what you might find...

Love

    And what great finds they were too. The blue top is lovely, fancy being able to wear a childs top. Your very lucky.

    I am always looking through tops and jumpers a couple of sizes up for a looser fit. You found some great items, love that skirt especially! x

      I don't know why it's never occurred to me before...
