As a student, and an all around savvy shopper I am always on the look out for a bargain. This week me and the boyfriend took a trip to Southport (post to follow), and we had the most amazing day thrift shopping; snooping out bargains and fooling around amongst the plethora of unusually amazing trinkets, in the best of the North West's charity shops..
I made two purchases during the course of the day. My top find being this Jane Shilton Bag, priced at just £5 - fantastic!
I think this is the true meaning of vintage shopping, hunting out those items unwanted by their previous owner hidden amongst rails and rails of frankly shocking 80s throwbacks.
Charity Shopping Top Tips:
1. Don't be put off by the seamlessly endless amount of clothing horrors you will find. Persistence is key.
2. Try on, just because the clothes you're looking at are cheap this doesn't mean you should throw caution to the wind and buy everything and anything you lay your eyes on.
3. Don't just look for your size. The chance you'll come across an amazing dress/shirt/skirt in your size are slim. Get creative, if you're normally a size 10, that size 18 'top', will look amazing on you as a dress with a belt.
Good luck and happy shopping
