Bought from the Red Cross for £12 a Didrikson children’s parka (12-13) listed as 150(height) but fits me like a glove and doesn’t look like it’s for kids if you know what I mean.

I got a gorgeous quilted Barbour for £32 on Vinted! I'm chuffed.

I'm in decluttering mode so have taken four massive bags of stuff to the charity shop this weekend, loving this to hear about the second life stuff is going to get!

£9.95 for a jigsaw silk and velvet dress and £6.95 for a Christmas jumper, a proper fine knit jumper with sequin and embroidered robins on, not one of those nasty acrylic one

Not this weekend but the last I found a grey, straight leg White Company jeans at £5 from Sue Ryder charity Shop. They fit perfectly👌

A SportMax knee length pleated wool skirt for £6 from a charity shop. It's an unusual shape and the wool is so fine and floaty. I wore it at work but I actually think it's too nice to relegate to work wear - I try to keep work clothes separate to my home clothes. It would look great with my purple DMs.

A bright yellow knitted Cos jumper for £5. I think it's a men's jumper but the small size fits me well. No signs of wear at all.

Crea Concept wool jumper in a charity shop. £3.95

Oh and a Tommy Hilfiger pie crust fitted frill cuff tartan shirt for under winter jumpers. Think it was £2.

Agnes B dress and a famous store empty hamper for £3 each were probably the best purchases this weekend.

I picked up two scarves from Marie Curie today. One is by Seasalt and I am giving it to my friend and the other is a red and blue stripe one that has no label but is lovely and soft and I suspect might be cashmere.

Inspired by you lot I dropped into TRAID which was in the final stage of its sale cycle: everything £1.50, and picked up a Monsoon silk top in immaculate condition. From a couple of years ago, so much more my style than their current heavily embellished range. Will be excellent for a work do I've got coming up.

They originally had it marked up as £17.99: you can't blame them for trying but they'd have had to be very lucky to find someone to buy it for that. Surprised nobody wanted it for 5/4/3 quid earlier in the markdown cycle though.
