So something that some may
consider slightly unusual about my shopping habits is that I do buy the
occasional item of clothing from my local charity shop. Also, whenever I have a
clear out of my wardrobe I take them all down to the charity shop and because
my mum is registered as gift aided, the charity shop are able to claim back the
tax rate to go to the charity. I have certainly given the hospice at least half
of my wardrobe at one point or another so I wanted to share with you my golden
charity shop buys and prove that you are able to get wonderful high street
pieces in a charity shop.
My first golden charity buy
is this River Island leather jacket that I found hidden in a corner at my local
charity shop. It still had the label on it and I only paid £25 with the
original label stating it was £60. Bargain.
My second golden charity buy
is my Ted Baker clutch/ shoulder bag. I also found this in my local charity shop.
Barely used and had no scratches or visual damage. I managed to get this bag
for £40, which considering the popularity of the brand was exceptional.
My third golden charity buy
is my Topshop sequin top which I love, its my go to going out top which I only
cost me £6. No funny smells which I would usually associate with some charity
shops. It is the perfect bargain.
Next time you walk past a
charity shop or debate about going into one, just pop in and have a look. You
literally never know what you might find, you may like me, be surprised at some
of the nice things they have in there. It is also so rewarding knowing that you
are being ethical and recycling as you shop.
