Charity shop bargains - what's been your best?

Had some fab bargains today, I've looked the stuff up on eBay so I could show you all :)

A pair of these that I absolutely love (but probably aren't everyone's cup of tea) for £4, brand new with the tags still on.

This Monsoon dress for £6.

These Clarks boots, RRP £100, barely even worn judging by the soles - £5.

A M&S jumper similar to this - £5

And a beautiful thin knit long cardigan for a fiver as well.

I don't think I'm ever going to buy anything full price again. Everything is either brand new or hardly worn :)

What's been your best bargain this week, charity shop or not?

A lovely Next cardigan that I had been previously looking at but hadn't bought as I thought it was too expensive.... In the right size, looks brand new and only for 50p Grin

A genuine Versace über-cleavage enhancing top for £3
Various Next, Dorothy Perkins and Monsoon clothes hardly worn all for under a fiver.
Also a really old collectible board game that we ebayed for some nice profit!
We have a decent 'range' of charity shops where I live, some quite high end ones and some more tatty ones too. But I think that's fine as chances are one of them will have what you need!

My best chazzer finds in terms of being bargains have been a vintage body con azzadine alia (not sure on the correct spelling!) dress and a marni dresa.both were under a fiver!

Mine is a real Mulberry wallet for 50p.

I don't think the charity volunteers had a clue what it was. I thought it was fake for ages and then someone started at my office who used to do the quality control for Mulberry and said it was a real one.

My favourite recent one is a camo print shirt/jacket for 99p. I have added some studs and it is now very similar to the £58 one on Top Shop site.

I also love a navy blue vintage cape that was about £5. It is perfect for the Town & Country look around this AW.....it's so cosy.
