FASHION WITH FRIENDS - Charity shop haul.

Good evening and hello again!
I promised a post about what me and my lovely friend Kirsti Lee brought from our little venture out to the charity shops, here it is. It was just one of those days where we didn't expect to be so inundated with so many nice things, neither of us resisted though and we both brought back around 15 pounds worth. which usually would be spent on 1 item brought new, so no complaints there.  
Here is what I brought;

Fair to say i think we got some amazing bargains! Hope you liked the post, If you are a charity shop virgin but really want to try going and finding something unique then a few tips;
1. Don't be miffed if you don't find something straight away, we got really lucky today and I sometimes comes home with nothing.
2. Don't be afraid to look at larger sizes, some do look silly but most of the time if you tuck a large blouse into a skirt or shorts it is fine and if you are good at sewing you can take things in!
3. Do not fear a good rummage!!
4.  Have fun :)
