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?! :-)

It was suchhhh a gorgeous day so I was really glad to be out in the sun on a 'picnic' and it was definitely one of the cutest shoots ever & it was lots of fun.

Hope you've all had a greatttt weekend!

Curve Ball Tour!

Hey guys, hope you've all had a good week :-D

I bought this ugly tshirt a while back & you may have seen it in one of my charity shop haul posts. I knew I wanted to get the scissors on it but I wasn't sure what to do, I love the white stitching on the sleeves and the bottom of the top, it reminds me of stitches you would get in a cut or whatever so I wasn't sure about getting rid of it. As I got dressed yesterday I put on my favourite high waisted denim shorts and just chucked this tshirt on as I was choosing what top to wear for the day & doing my makeup etc. Then that's when I decided to do something to it & make it cute so that I could wear it!

Buy my things on bigcartel!

 asos skirt

 Vintage bag

 Topshop shorts

 Topshop leggings

Topshop shoes

Hey guys, hope your week is going well!
I have had a bag full of clothes that I no longer wear just sat in my bedroom for about a month, I need to sort through more to get rid of because my drawers and wardrobe are all overflowing with clothes. Quite often i will wear something a few times and never again or I keep really old clothes because I once loved them so much and don't want to let go! SO finally I have decided on a few things to sell but I wasn't sure how to sell them online. I normally use ebay BUT recently I've seen so many people say bad things about it & sometimes it doesn't seem worth the while with all the fees and that if you've had a disappointing end price on one of your items that you thought would sell for more. So after a bit of thought, I decided to sell a few bits on bigcartel! I chose the free account, but if I manage to sell a few things I might pay for a better account and work on setting it up properly over the summer? We'll see :-) But for now I have 5 items on there which I am hoping to sell. If it all goes completely wrong I will probably list things on here and work out how to invoice via paypal... I'm sure it's pretty straightforward but to me it sounds kind of frightening haha!

So these are the items I'm selling.... go to my bigcartel page here! charlibelle.bigcartel.com :-) pleeeease check it out! x

What you do with clothes/shoes etc. that you no longer wear?

British Tea Party, Inspiration!

Sooo I am very lucky to have been given a task, through my university course with the other fashion students on the course, to style a silk scarf for a photo shoot!
We had a talk from the woman who owns the company, learned about the origins of scarves in general and all about the scarves she produces. Once I have done the shoot, I will show you guys the images and explain more about the scarves etc then! But the scarf I have chosen is SO cute, and I have so many ideas already!
The theme we have been given for the shoot is a British tea party, which will be really cute and so much fun as we are going to have little cup cakes, cute tea cups and maybe even champagne! I'm just going to post a few images to inspire me a little more (and to procrastinate, I have my uni deadline on Friday :( booo!) soo here they are....

 None of these images are mine! Alllll from google images. Can't wait to have my own images to upload though!

Once again, I want to thank every one who has commented for all the lovely comments and a huuuuge thank you to anyone who has followed me! I'm still in shock that there are people out there interested in the stuff I go on about on here so thank you so much! I really appreciate you all :)
