Fashion moneysaving thread - Dressed up or Down - Everyone Welcome!! (Part 4)

Might pop to Debenhams tomorrow - they had some lovely stuff on normal sale last week so if there's further discounting then it might be worth buying!

Luckily I am having a stay-home day tomorrow, and we don't have a Debenhams or I may have been tempted lol

Alex and I had coffee, and i didn't notice any spot, infact she didn't look any less than her gorgous self!!!

Wearing cords from next silk blouse from m&s cashmere cardy from fwm.

Vintage news, i found an amazing dress in charity shop, Jeaegar, late 1970's, fits like a glove, £5, but the best news of all is that after i'd raced home to wash it, i tried it on and it has Pockets!! And i thought it couldn't get any better!! I think pockets should come as standard in any dress....

Great buy, Sharron! Quality brands always have pockets as they don't skimp with the pattern cutting. They cut their fabric on the bias, too, that's why the sizes are more generous (and the cost is higher).

Not dressed yet, lounging around in a vintage green frilly wrap whilst Jon knocks up breakfast.

Have a smashing saturday.

Afternoon all

Sharron, I didn't realise it had pockets! How fab.

Have just found some ace bits at the chazza shop when dropping off some old books etc, including a vintage suitcase, a fab fawn wool hat which I'm wearing now and some purple velvet shoes - don't recognise the brand but they look similar to something IC would make.

Outfit is:

Tapestry shorts - River Island sale
Cream top - ditto
Rust jumper - H&M
Dark green tights - M&S
Canvas and leather brogues - River Island sale
Tapestry coat - Kookai via car boot sale
Hat - via Oxfam
