I'm so glad I found ya!

 

Hey guys, hope your week is going well! 

For this blog post I decided to pick out a few of my favourite charity shop finds that I am just super duper glad that I found and picked up. I'm pretty poor at the moment and haven't managed to do any shopping in so so long and I'm feeling pretty sad about it, so I'm looking through my clothes that I already have and appreciating them a little more! I have so many clothes that I have found in charity shops that are really great finds or amazing bagains, such as cool vintage jumpers, a retro playsuit, a Topshop dress for £2 and a vintage dress for £1! But some of them don't fit too well or aren't really me and even when they're pretty cheap I sometimes regret picking them up and spending the money on them (it all adds up!) when I could have left them there for someone else who would love them as much as I love the items I've listed here!

 Vintage belt-50p

I love this belt! It's SO cute and goes perfectly high wasited, it adds detail to plainer outfits and I think it has real character. The buckle is so so pretty too.

Slush Puppy Tee- £1

I love this top! It was actually a Hollywood Bowl work tshirt but I cut the logo off the sleeves and distressed the sleeves a little too so that it has even more of a retro look. When I bought this I'm pretty sure they were selling slush puppy tees in either topshop or new look? So I was happy to find this for £1!

Vintage bag-99p

I was shocked to see the 99p label on this bag as it is SO cute and really good quality. When I got this bag about a year ago, I used it allll the time, but some how, unfortunately I lost the shoulder strap from it on a night out! :'( I bought a replacement strap which I use with another little charity shop bag too.

Lilac high waist shorts- £3/4ish?

I can't remember how much these were! I just remember seeing them on a mannequin in the charity shop and thinking I don't care how much they are... I NEED them! Haha but I went and asked what size and how much they are and I think they were around three or four pounds so I thought that was really good, theyre slightly oversized but I think they look really good.

Floral trousers-£4ish

Again, I can't remember how much these were but I loved the print of them, they're really high wasited and they're so comfy. I've only worn them once as I bought them in the Autumn time and they're really thin so the weather has to be nice for them, I think they will be really nice this summer (if it stops raininnn!)

Animal print blouse-£1

I found this on a £1 rack in one of the charity shops I go to and thought it looked cute, I like how it's not too sheer but it's not a proper shirt either and I was really drawn to the print. I wasn't sure about it at first because it was a size 20 but I like blouses and shirts oversized and as it was only a pound I bought it anyway. Once I tried it on and styled it with high waisted shorts/leggings, I fell in love... The size is perfect with some high waist bottoms as it just looks super cute and as if it's meant to be oversized! :-)

What are some of your most loved charity shop finds and why?! :-)

Not so spring time sweater... ootd

 

 Sweater-Matalan-£3

Skirt-H&M-£8ish?

Tights-Primark-£1

Earrings-Primark-£1

Shoes-Vans-£30ish(sale)

My outfit for the day yesterday! It wasn't as bright as it has been in the week and it was a bit cold and rainy so I had to put my shorts and tshirts back away :-( I went shopping on Wednesday with my boyfriend and he kindly bought me this jumper from the Matalan clearance store. It's crazy in there, tshirts, skirts etc. for a pound?? There's even dresses in there reduced from £20+ down to £3, it's unreal! I got this sweater from the mens section and thought it was nice just for throwing on on colder days and for the summer when it gets cool in the evenings. I love the dark grey colour and the grungey bleached out/faded bits. I paired it with my bright pink skirt yesterday to brighten the outfit up and my vans because they're super comfortable and add a little height too! ;-)

Hope you all have a great weekend! :-)

(Ps sorry for the rubbish photos, it was the best I could do for now!)

Wildfox Couture sports shirt, $145 / Topshop highwaisted jeans / Topshop t-strap shoes / H&M bag, $23 / Jigsaw hat, $52


Hi guys! Hope you all had a great weekend :-)
Here is a little set I made on polyvore a bit earlier, I'm obsesssed with backpacks at the moment! I have been using mine non stop, it's so easy just to chuck everything in and stick on your back/shoulder and I like how it can be dressed up or down and goes with so many outfits. The shoes are uber cute and I really need a pair for myself & I also need some new jeans, the ones I have are all too big on me now as I've finally lost a little weight, these Topshop jeans are really cute and very popular right now & I'm considering getting myself a pair. Lastly, the sweater!!!! ughhhh how cute is it?! I need one but for the price, I really can't see that happening, sighhh, I will be on the lookout for something similar and more in my budget though definitely!

I just want to say thank you SO much to my new followers for following, signed in this morning to see it had gone up by a few and it put a smile on my face, also thank you for all your lovely comments... sometimes I forget to reply (and I know its kinda annoying having to check back etc.) so I'm just guna say now that I read and appreciate everyyyy single comment on here! Thank you :-)

Easy DIY.. studs!

Okay so I customised this shirt with studs AGES ago & wore it a fair few times and then I completely forgot about it for months and months until I found it again a week or so ago and wore it on Monday. I got a few compliments on it & I've also had compliments on another plain white shirt that I studded the collar of too so I thought I would do a little blog post on it.........
