i carboot sales, and flea markets, and charity shops, and jumble sales, and second hand shops... you're so lucky to have one on a thurs

I love car boot sales. I sometimes wonder if I am sad because I actually get a bit fed up when I can't go to our local one on a Sunday if we aren't at home :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Again, thank you so much girls,
and Sophie, thank you for de-lurking to say that


I actually got some sleep last night hurrah.
I'm off for blood tests and coffee with my grandparents + best friend this morning
and then hopefully some study (read, flicking through my reading and posting on MSE) this afternoon

PF- good, because there is no need to berate yourself really, what is done is done.

Your skirt sounds gorgeous, I hope there is going to be photos on your blog?

Morning all. It's such a luxury to be posting (from my bed, I might add!) at this time! I'm not even remotely dressed yet but wanted to ask a question...

Do any of you guys really regret selling/giving away clothes? I'm totally ruthless when it comes to my wardrobe and I sell lots of old stuff on eBay. My rule is if I haven't worn it in 6 months, it goes. I was thinking about it last night and am actually gutted at some of the stuff I've sold! Namely, a purple and yellow floral patterned white skirt from H&M. I LOVED that skirt - why did I sell?! Sigh.

So, even though I'm currently sliming down my obese wardrobe, I'm gonna be extra careful about what I lose. Anyway, just rambling! Will update with an outfit later. Happy Friday!

daisybella

Oh yes, I have sold a few things that I totally regret, even if I didn't ever wear them, it was more the "but what if it'd actually been perfect" lol.
If I think I'm unsure, I set it aside for a month and go back to it.

Outfit today:
Black thermal cami: Uniqlo
Black floral dress with slight shoulder pads: Primark
Mustard tights (inspired by Vicki): Primark
Thin knit grey cardi: New Look
Thin patent black belt: Primark
Flat over knee boots: Asos

Then coat etc when I have to go out.

Jewellery: Stud earrings, everyday ring, D&G watch, gold bangles.

Yep, me too, there are lots of pairs of shoes and clothes that i wish i hadn't sold, especially when i tend to sell things for so little.

ETA - is there anything you know you used to have, and then when you go to try and find it, can't find it anywhere so figure you must have sold it???
i spent almost an hour last night looking for a purple shrug i used to practically live in throughout uni, and couldn't find it anywhere..
I know at last check it had a pull in it, which i was holding together with a saftey pin until i fixed it, so i doubt i would have sold it..
that said, i do have another huge (full) wardrobe at my parents holiday house, so i guess i need to check there before it's declared lost for good..

daisy, i know. i just mistakenly thought that if i helped out, the least i could expect from him was a little respect and appreciation, but if he's not ignoring me he's lying to me, and i'm fed up of both!

daisybella

And you deserve better than both. I'd see this as a tough lesson learned. He doesn't deserve your help, and you are better off without someone like him in your life (even if right now it doesn't feel that way)

piratefairy

thanks sweetie..
off to post the blog pics of today's outfit, and also the trying on session (for constuctive criticism lol) whilst i'm still on this cheerful mood
