Hooray, I've finally managed to find myself some A/W clothes in the charity shops! I've really been struggling with finding clothes recently so I'm really happy to have found a few lovely bits over the past couple days. The first is this boucle jacket which is an old C&A that I snapped up for a fiver. I'm in loooove with boucle and after finding this I'm really on a mission to find a similar one to the coat in Topshop a few months ago which is white with a black trim. It's a size ten and slightly cropped so it's short on my arms and is really fitted but that's how I like it!
This isn't even old, but after trying it on I really liked it. It's quite old looking, anyway, but is from Debenhams. I love the stripes with the gorgeous glittery trims and pretty buttons, and again it's quite fitted which I think looks lovely with pencil skirts, which make up half of my wardrobe! It was only £3 too.
Sorry this is so creased, it's been on my Mum's sofa and then in a bag coming home with me for two days! This was my first buy on Monday and cost me just £2.80. I like wearing midi skirts over jumpers with a pair of heeled ankle boots on days when I don't feel like being a bit looser and comfier, and I love the black & white checked pattern on this one, plus the cute little button detail down the middle. It came with a belt but I'm not too sure whether I'll be using it with it or chucking a different one on.
I do love my furry brooches! This is another Stratton one which again, came boxed, and was just £3. I'm really getting into brooches at the moment, I think they look so nice on a collar or on a pretty blouse!
I indulged my love for crochet mats yet again! This are simpler than the usual ones I buy, but I like these for putting under flowers or houseplants on top of books and making a little display! I'm sure I'll find use for these pretty soon!
What do you think of my finds? Have you got anything great in the charity shops recently?
great stuff!
