I was too lazy to get out of bed today, even though I really fancied fitting in 1 last CBS! I found 2 new CBS near me though by accident so hoping the weather is ok next weekend.

I have been 'lurking' on this board for a while, but have finally decided to join up & post!

Inspired by all your bargains, I visited my local charity shop this afternoon & purchased:
A cute little cropped 'swing' jacket (originally from Matalan) for £4.95
A body con flower print top, size 14, so I'm planning to wear it as a dress with tights (originally from F&F @ Tesco) for £3.55

My local charity shop is a bit pricey, but getting a new jacket & top/dress for under £10 is still pretty good! Hope everyone else got some bargains today!

So glad you could join us MissCecil. Your purchases sound lovely, a fraction of the retail price and helping deserving charities, too.

Thanks Goan!

I have been reading your blog & it's awesome! You have amazing style & your 'finds' have inspired me to scour my local charity shops & jumble sales, as you never know what you'll find!
