Things to alter...

Okay, so i have a new found hobby: buying long frumpy granny clothes with intention to alter them to fit and never getting around to it.... Here are two items bought with-in this hobby.


Both need to be shortened but will i do it? That is the burning question... The dress was 50p, the skirt £1 both from a charity shop.

Quilted jacket.

Hello! I was eyeing this beauty up in the charity shop alllll day wondering whether to buy it or not and then mum came in and bought it for me! :D I totally love it and it was only £2.50! It does make me look slightly stuck up and posh though haha....


Really loving the British heritage country look at the moment, thinking of sewing on elbow pads to add to the look!

The blazer i have been lusting over for weeks :3



Soooo guys.... LOOK!!! I know it seems like just another blazer but i don't care because i super super love this one! It has been in the charity shop i work in for about a month but it had a vile skirt with it... No one would buy it :( So i asked my boss if it could part ways with the skirt and be mine, she said yes! Love my life.



Okay i apologise for ranting but it is so gorgeous :3

Another blazer! (think i'm addicted)

I went to the charity shops a few weeks ago in Exeter with my muma, and i found this. I like his because of the buttons (nom nom gold buttons!) And it was only £2.50, tried it on in the shop, loved it, bought it!
Then i got home and had a look at the label and realised it was part of the old nationwide bank uniform!


So i now wear part of a vintage bank uniform haha :P

Sooo I have been meaning to post this for days but i got ill (tonsillitis) boo :( I got given this jacket on Saturday by my boss! It is sooo nice and such a lovely colour!

 Peggy French couture? Never heard of it but it sounds like some posh old lady brand? haha.
 I love the clasps as well they look pretty! And they sorta look like an 'A' which is the beginning letter of my name! yay :P
Also i got a new nail varnish ^ you can barely see it, but i love it! It's a kind of mint colour and its by Revlon :D

Charity Shop clear out.

The charity shop that i work in (ooooh get me!) were chucking out clothes today! I hate letting clothes go to waste so i was like ':O :O :O don't chuck them let me have them ;)' haha. So they did :D
 I do apologise for the crapppyyy editing but i totally hated my face in this picture! Love the dress though ;)
 This shirtttttttt! <3 my manager said it was ugly :(
 ^ cracking out a smile for you all! :|
My manager called this one ugly too, i admit it: it is hideous but that's why i like it! I confuse myself alot of the time!
Soooo i am a happy bunny about this! More and more gorgeous things keep getting donated, wish i had monies :(

I went to the charity shops (and also a carboot sale)

I went around the charity shops in town for a quick look because i haven't been in ages and i was pleasently suprised at what i found! I also went to the carboot sale that i usually go to each sunday, it was good fun an i found a really cute jumper....

I bought this really lovely jumper, its a bit too big (size xl) but i love the print so much!
This was only 50p too! Bargain!

The next item is this nautical t-shirt. I really really love nautical themed clothes...
I do apologise for the eyes, i was playing around in photoshop and forgot to save the original picture! But this was another 50p bargain!

Next up is my pink shirt. I really love shirts that are granny-ish hence why i buy them from charity shops.


This was £3, a bit steep for such a thin shirt but i love the embroidery on the collar, so cute!

I was getting the bus home from a party but it wasn't for ages so i had a hungover look around the charity shops in Exeter! I found this dress, it's so pretty i love the shape of it (i may make it a bit shorter).
This was £3.50-a bargain for such a cute summer dress!

I am going shopping today too so hopefully i can visit the charity shops and find some more pretty clothes! :)
