Dressing down here
Levi's Bold Curve jeans courtesy of TK Maxx
Lovely apple green cable knit jumper that I've fancied for ages in H&M but couldn't be arsed to queue to try on and buy (local H&M has horror queues and I'm always in a hurry when I'm there), which I then spotted in Save The Children in my size, and perfect condition. I know it's not exactly the fabled Mulberry bag for a fiver that you dream of in charity shops but I was dead chuffed.
Beaded necklace from the Pitt Rivers Museum shop,
Flat ankle boots from GAP sale

Not exciting but comfortable, flattering and bargainacious.

amber your trainers are looking sweeeeeet on your blog
willow your food oriented day sounds very sociable
drywhite I had a shirt like that, it just used to get so creased, but I did love it

Remus I like the black tights and tan boots combi

LadyIsabella it's so rewarding when you find a bargain, especially if you were eyeing it up at full price!
