Charity Shop Thrift #1 | Daring Denim

Bargain hunting is such an enjoyable hobby and also much kinder to your purse.

After a recent trip in to town, I went to have a look around my local charity shops - it's a weekend with no homework, with plenty of free time and I'm not broke of course it's an excuse to shop.

I've been searching for a denim A-line mini skirt for quite a while, which would of course fit my budget. I went into Urban Outfitters, Topshop, New Look and even Primark (on a Saturday and let's be honest, it's total and utter carnage on a Saturday!) I thought about how I would be lucky to get a well made one for under £20.

Popped into my local Sue Ryder shop and only to find a beautiful, brand new denim A-Line mini skirt by M&S. After researching the product online, it came to the hefty price of £29.50. 
My denim skirt cost me £3.95. 



The skirt made a very cute addition to my autumnal clothing, however this cute little number can be worn with anything and at any time of the year making it an essential.  

I put this with my thin, mustard knit style jumper (Atmosphere, gift) (anything thicker wouldn't compliment the figure however thick knitted tights would probably work, so for next item I put my pair of dark rouge thin tights (Atmosphere, £2.50 for a pack of 3), sort of creating a primary colored outfit. 

For my final addition I added my brand new mock docs (Revolve, £5).










        I also bought one of my favorite classic bands on vinyl, ABBA ( Sue Ryder, £1.95)

The vinyl was in total pristine condition - not a single scratch!

ABBA is one of my secretly, guilty pleasures when completing a mountain of coursework.










A new read was bought too, the Puffin's newly published version 'Of Mice And Men' (£0.95) and a new cute paper star light originally from IKEA (£1.95), all from Sue Ryder. 

Cheerio m'dears, Lucy x
