Got a pair of unworn bear paw boots like eggs for £6 and a pair of Nicole farhi trousers for £4 and had a lovely day charity shopping

That's a good bargain, they aren't as expensive as UGGs but they have a good substantial sole.

On holiday last week on the south coast I simply had to pop into a few charity shops. I got a pair of ankle boots, really soft leather, that fit like a glove. Not cheap at £8 but they looked almost new. Will be very handy for wearing with trousers this winter. Also picked up a lilac and pink striped cotton jumper (Edinburgh Woollen Mill) for £4, and that too looked almost new. But am now kicking myself for not buying a little shoulder bag I had my eye on! Rather a long way to go back for it though!!

Lovely knee-length black coat by therapy, £5.99 in BHF, looked online and found the brand is a House of Fraser exclusive and this season's long coats are £95-£99.00 :eek:

Hi all

I need to catch up with the thread as its been a while since i've been on here and don't get into charity shops as much as i used to since having my son.

Popped into town yesterday and picked up:
*Sheer Floral Topshop Peplum Top £2.99
*Leopard Print Lipsy Strappy Dress £3.49 (bought to wear for a night out last night and it fits lovely, but i feel like a member of the TOWIE cast wearing it, so not sure if i'll keep it).

A good day in the local CSs yesterday -

- a vintage (1950's) black leather Kelly bag, with a red leather lining, one handle repaired with the wrong colour of thread, but that's fixable -£1.99

- River Cafe Two cookbook, never used in anger (or in a kitchen, from the condition) - 99p

- Saks Fifth Avenue tote bag, M & S printed cord skirt, and a lime green with overlay in green, grey and black French dressy dress -£7.00

- Nice well-framed watercolour of a garden - £4.00

- and finally, a grey cashmere jumper for £2.00, a Jones New York royal blue cashmere jumper for £2.50 (a colour I've been hunting for a long time), and the pride of the collection - a grey patterned, textured, shaped Missoni jumper for £2.50!

:j Amazing bargains! Personally I find I can pick out the quality garments just by the feel of the fabric The shame is that they are usually the wrong size

Yes, I always go by the feel of things, and by the trim and linings as well!
