Glorious charity shop buys!

The other day my mum bought me this wonderful green velvet jumpsuit for £5 from a charity shop in Sheringham, Norfolk.
I tried it on and it fits 🎉😊, although I do not look like the lovely model as I'm 5ft6 and a squishy size 12!
I put on best of the BeeGees and my heels and greeted my boyfriend last night and we were both cracking up 😂
I just need a 70s night to go to now! Or maybe it could be my work Christmas do outfit? Just need a Santa hat and a couple of artfully placed holly berries! 😂
Even if I never wear it out I feel like I've had £5 worth of fun out of it. Anyone else as happy with their shopping lately?

Oh that’s magnificent! What a brilliant colour too. I’d feel like Charlie’s angels in that

I have a pair of brown heeled boots and a pair of ancient black flat boots and fancied a pair of smarter black heeled boots.... found a beautiful barely-worn pair of Clarks heeled black ankle boots with brogue detailing in my size for £9! Perks of small feet in that nobody had snaffled them!

Oh brilliant! Well done your mum!

Oh I love it OP! It’s great buy !

Recent finds where my nearly new Coach bag and some Tartine et Chocolat and Petit Bateau jumpers for DS. Regret that I didn’t buy the new Tiffany’s champagne glasses (still in the box, £20) and thinking to go back this weekend to check if they’re still there.

I never manage to get the really good stuff like some people, but I pick up some Cos and Toast items in mine for under a fiver as I don’t think the volunteers recognise the labels! My Best Buy is probably a Kooples silk shirt for £3 - it’s a lovely purple floral design, though now I’m not in the office it doesn’t get worn. My ‘best’ is a great cream French Connection top that goes with everything and I truly love, which was a fiver.

Your jumpsuit is fab, OP!
