Charity shop finds

Has anyone found any amazing charity shop finds recently?

Over the weekend I saw and bought a midi red and white horizontal striped dress which I didn't think was my size but it was so I snapped it up after trying it on. This charity shop has higher prices than most other charity shops but this was so nice on. The friend I was with saw a Lulu Guiness dupe bag and liked it so I bought it for her today for part of her Christmas present.

I’m not sure if you mean just fashion but I love interiors and some of my favourite finds have been from charity shops. I have some beautiful jug vases and pictures which were so incredibly cheap.

A Barbour top for £4 in a hospice shop

My best buys have been car boots lately

I got a 100% cashmere jumper for £2, BNWT hoody for 50p, Tommy Hilfiger jumper for £1 x3 men’s Next shirts for a quid each, all in very good order.

It can be anything.

My stepdad picked up a Pre-Raphaelite artist painting of red highland cattle and a gilt framed marble feet huge antique mirror.

I found a pair of beautiful shoes. Never worn. Schuh brand.
They are the perfect shoe for more formal events and they always get a "ooh love your shoes" when wearing them. Cost £5. I've had them about 10yrs now and still beautiful.

My best find was a £250 pair of almost new Hobbs suede knee length boots for £30. At the weekend I got a gorgeous floaty Hobbs dress, and pair of wide legged cream jeans from M&S with the tag still on, and a lovely Wallis blouse - £31 in total. I love a good charity shop haul 😊

I've since seen my Hobbs dress on Ebay for £34.99 and higher in the same size so am even more pleased I saved.

It's one of those dresses that you put on and it's an instant like so that's good.

One of my local charity shops has had some corporate donations from seasalt and ME+EM , I blagged 2 dresses for £21 new with tags!

My best find this year was a wonderful vintage telephone chair bought from BHF for £30. I got very lucky, someone in my neighbourhood posted a picture of it on this app called Ganddee but didn't buy it, so I went there as soon as I could to see if it was still in store, and it was!!! Absolutely delighted with this charity shop find!
