Charity Shops.

[LauraFaye88]

I shop in charity shops. I bought a pair of trousers.(Laura Brook).They feel fantastic to wear. Could you tell me what upmarket brands to look out for in charity shops ;both clothes and shoes that would have that edge. M and S don't cut it any more. Thank you.

I look out for quality high street brands such as Monsoon, Joe Browns, White Stuff. Their vintage clothes are much better quality than current ranges. My tip is, if you can, go to independent charity shops (often hospice shops) in upmarket areas, as they tend to have better quality clothes - you will pay more but still a fraction of new cost.

Try St Michael from Marks and Spencer.
