Hellooo! Today I went to some charity shops in Brighton and found lots of really nice clothes which were really cheap and I thought I would share them with you.
Charity shops are a really good alternative if you don't have a lot of money for high end shops and you find a lot of stuff which is interesting and unique, which you wouldn't find in 'normal' shops. Also, buying things from charity stores is good because your helping lots of causes to raise money.
I got this dress for £1.50 which is a bargain considering how nice it is! It really reminds me of the tennis skirts in American Apparel which I am in love with.
The only thing I would maybe want to change about it is the length. Just because long skirts give the appearance of longer legs and my legs are already quite long compared to the rest of my body. It was really cheap so I don't mind spending money on getting it tailored to be shorter.
I would wear this with a white vest tucked in or a white crop top and some black jelly shoes.
I really like it because again, white colours are popular this summer and I just liked the unique shape. I would probably have to wear a white vest under this as it was a bit too big and baggy but I just think the shape is so cute.
I also picked out this sweet blue patterned mini skirt because I have seen a few like this in Urban Outfitters and this is a very similar alternative if you find the clothes in Urban Outfitters a bit pricey. This was £3.99 and I think it would look cute with the white top tucked in and I could wear it with my white converse.
Again, the thing that appealed the most to me was the pastel colours and I just need some more vest tops for the Summer.
I wasn't sure about this at first as I felt the pattern was a bit controversial and 'crazy' for me but I need to get out of the habit of wearing black and white tops and for the price, I just thought why not?
I would probably wear this with my light blue Topshop denim shorts (which have appeared in my other posts) and some trainers or sandals.
Moving onto my Denim items! I didn't actually get these on the same day as everything else but I got them recently from various charity shops so I thought I might as well show them to you. I first got this over sized dark blue denim jacket for £3 which is such a good price! I got it because I just needed a denim jacket to throw over my outfits in the summer when it gets a bit colder and this one just looks really retro and good quality. It reminds me of the ones from To Be Worn Again but it was probably a lot cheaper.
I also got this tight mini skirt which has a denim-look but is actually some kind of thin material like cotton or something. It was £3 and is originally from Top Shop. I thought it was really sweet and I would wear this with a black vest and black tights (if needed) and probably a comfy pair of trainers.
Next I got this floral top which is also originally from Topshop. It is in the shape of a swimming costume but you would hide the bottom half with a pair of shorts or a skirt. This was 50p which is amazing considering it is in really good condition and it was probably originally around £15-£20. I like it because of the floral summery pattern and I think it would go really well with denim shorts.
The next thing I brought was these little leopard print shorts for £1.99. I love these so much because I just think they would look really cute and sophisticated with a black vest, black tights and heels with red lips for an evening out. They are stretchy at the top so they are nice and comfortable and they feel like good quality material.
This is one of my favorite items from the haul because I love the dark and light contrast of the blues and its perfect to throw on in the Summer time without getting too hot. I also think the tiny pocket is so cute and I just really love it (yay!).
I think the price of this is really good as it looks such good quality and quite new-ish and I just needed a jumper like this.
I would probably wear this over an outfit involving a vest tucked into denim shorts as I think it would look really nice with the denim. I would also wear a big chunky necklace over this as I think it would go really nicely with it.
I think the sunglasses look really interesting because of the big round circular part is just really different and unique.
Lastly, I know it's summer but I picked up this blue and purple scarf for 50p because the colours are really nice and it was ultra soft. It also reminded me of the ones from Urban Outfitters but is so much cheaper but very similar quality and style. it's quite wide so fit got a bit chilly at a Summer BBQ or something I could just throw this around my shoulders so I suppose it can be used for Summer too.
Thank you for reading my blog post! I hope you get some inspiration to look in some Charity Shops this Summer as there are plenty of cheaper alternatives for high end fashion styles and it is also going to a good cause. If you have any questions then please feel free to comment below, bye!
