My customised W a r e h o u s e dress.

So I told you on my one about charity shops that I had got a new dress.
This is said dress, Age Concern £4.99
They tried to take the tags out but a savvy shopperista knows this is bla-ha-tantly warehouse. :')

I took the lining out as it kept sliding all over the place when I wore it. Then I made a pleat out of said lining as it was a bit low cut.

This is the final product. I also lopped a couple of inches off the bottom as it was slightly too large.

Charity shops.

I'm a strong believer in the fact that Charity Shops are NOT for Grannies.

I used to go shopping shopping all of the time like topshop, warehouse, dotty p's. But then I lost my job, and tbh the clothes you buy arent worth the money. Now, I'd been in charity shops a few times and picked up a couple of items, but since then I hardly ever buy full price!

You may think oh I only have 1 charity shop in my village or whatever.

well I live in a really small small town and you have to catch the bus to a slightly larger town to even have a clothes shop. But my little line of shops which is just a walk away suits me down to the ground nowadays. 3 charity shops, a superdrug (i love makeup too) and a library. :)

This is what I picked up yesterday from Kathryn House Hospice £2.50

This is a little crop top which i think is originally from france which says the three penguins on it. :') Its so sweet.

I also bought a dress but I havent got any pictures where I dont look like a mong so I'll bring you that in a bit. :)
